Classic Australian Wooden Power Boat Association

Hi my name is Chris Blease and I have recently joined the CAWPBA.

I met Greg Carr recently at Yarrawonga and met Dave Pagano and saw his awesome collection years ago.

I recently acquired my Dad's old raceboat "Wildfire" as listed under "Record Holder" in You Need This. I hope to add
a few things to the "Record Holder" topic once I get the hang of the Board. Also I have a new 17' Syndicate on order
as well from Peter Adcock.

Please bear with me if I make a complete stuff up of this, as I am new to the Board.

Cheers

Chris.

Welcome chris. Got any pics of your dads boat

Hi Dave, check out "Record Holder" in the "Do You Need This" index. Hopefully I have the terminology right, please correct me if I have this wrong!

Cheers
Chris.

hello chris my name is peter randall i own the crackerbox replica Red Dwarf .When i was in the navy i new a chris blease ,any resemblence. any one can see my boat on you tube under. boat film susan.mov

Hi Peter, as far as I am aware, I'm the only Chris Blease in the Navy, so I'm the same person. Most people know me for better or worse! I am currently onboard Success stuck in Singapore. I am here, there and everywhere, especially at present! I will have to check your boat on Youtube.

Cheers
Chris.

stuck in singas rather that the jb running .i went to the first gulf war/coflict on that ship and did alot of plumbing on her . have fun in the sun hope to meet when you get back .

Hi Peter,
I checked out your boat on Youtube and the photos, looks great! I went to the first gulf war as well on Success. My memory is getting a bit hazy in my old age! Did you live in 6 mess? I can tell you plenty of "waries" when we meet up!

Cheers Chris.

hello chris ,seems your the bloke i new .old? well im now 50 i was im a mess that was under the flight deck port side that had only 12 occupants the when the women moved onboard i was in a mess be low the main passage way next to the female junior sailors mess .oh happy days?

Hi Peter, seems you lived in 6 mess, then 12 mess. I remember quite clearly now! Good times, I was tanky during the gulf war. I now run AMRs and Engine Room half the time. Unfortunately missed out on gulf war 2 would have been great for the extra$$! More money to spent on proper things like
powerboats! Singas is great for R/C models and I am like a kid in toy shop!

Cheers Chris.
