Ahoy all! This weekend was to be the wooden boat festival, Tomboy’s seventh in a row after debuting in 2009. The Hobart Regatta is still on so the wooden boat organisers have got on board with the regatta and there is to be a “parade of sail” on Sunday similar to the opening sail past of festival, for those that registered we got a flag which is nice for me to add to the last 6! To be continued (weather permitting!!)

A bit of info re the “The Parade of Sail” with the possibility of the slightly purring V 8 in amongst the peace and tranquillity????

Ohh Chivs, nicely done. A huge smile on my face. Another MOPAR on the scene as well as in the classic boat scene. 145 hp slant 6 and no brakes lol (or is she wearing some discs up the front?). Magic stuff mate. Congratulations on the addition to your stable.
