Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Cam How did you go with your repair? I had a similar problem with a huge crack along one plank. I opened it out by running a hacksaw blade down the crack and then filled it with epoxy thickened with microballoons. It has been fine for over 12 months now. Are you coming to Paynesville again this year...

I noticed yesterday that Brian Bauch's boat has similar timber strips running along the the chine line, as on Stu's boat. They actually look like the same hull design (Boesch?).

Nice to see a bit of timber amongst all that steel. Well done to you all for putting the boats in.

Wonderful having a chat over the weekened and again yesterday at the warmies. The boat is making real progress and will be floating and making noise in no time.

Peter and his family dropped by at the Melbourne Wooden Boat Festival and we had a great chat about all things to do with wood and water, BMW's motor cars and a few other topics for good measure. Pete is a great bloke and a fantastic resource and is only too happy to help anyone after some informati...

We had such a great weekend last year we've decided to do it again this year on April 10th and 11th. The venue is Dawsons Cove at the eastern end of Newlands Arm at Paynesville. For details of the venue and location, refer last year's posts at: http://cawpba.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=7. I'...

Due to the unpredicatble winds that are forecast, we have effectively cancelled the cruise.

My apologies for any inconvenience, but with strong winds predicted pretty much when we were due back, it's just not worth the risk.

It's on.

Not real sure about the weather, but we are going to get there about 1000 and sus it out then.

We're all in at the festival. Unfortunately, spread out a bit, but 11 boats in all, including a couple of Chris-Craft on the water. Total of 120 boats of all shapes and sizes, so plenty to look at and a good turnout for the first festival. We are in a tent with other associations, so look out for us...
