Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

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!!)

I hope the weather is ok for you lot down there. Enjoy and post pics when you can.

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????

Ahoy all!!

Hopefully in the attached you can pick up I followed the “oh so knowledgeable ones!” (Thanks for keeping an eye on me boyz) So Doc the manifold has studs and Daz I got the one inch spacer then some new bits for the secondaries to function and off we went. I have posted on the club Facebook page a video of a short run! Quickly Too now showing what she might be capable of!! Cheers

Looks bloody great Captain! And from watching the clip on FB has got plenty of go in it.
What revs are you pulling with the Willpower?

Ahoy all!

Today I officially joined the “club” within the club!

I now have a period correct (time capsule) tow car!

I hope the pics bring a smile, as it has for me, happy new year and to be continued!

Cheers

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.

Great looking combo Chivs,
