Boats so far, remember this is not limited to Wooden craft although majority below are. I may have missed some.
If you would like a registration form sent to you, PM me with your email address.
I understand Darren, Greg and perhaps Alan are coming so I'm guessing you can add Scrubcat, Stormy & Butterbox to the list?
There is also supposed to be a Hydro that was built by Ernie Nunn but not raced by him.

The Sting
Linda-K
Lincoln
Screamin' Eagle
Ol Skool
Starfire
Rebound
Jan II
Jayme II
Rasputin - Hydro
Insanity
Fixation
Jason
Star Flight
Skitter
Fury - Skiff (Hopefully in the water)

I am more than a little interested in any boat purported to be built by Ernie Nunn as he had his boats built by others and he finished them off with fit-outs etc. He built one boat with his son Bill and raced it successfully and it is the boat called "DO " in fact he was so keen on everything being just right he built his own steering wheel, quadrant etc for the 25 footer. He also used to make his own con rods and props - quite an amazing man

I can only go on what I've heard from Dig Traeger (owner of The Sting which is a copy Ernies Wasp) who spoke with the owner at the recent Berri Powerboat event.
Its apparently 18ft long and in Melbourne.
Hopefully it will be at the event and we can all see it.

Add to the list,

Villian - KT Tunnel ex Greg Flemming boat
Miss-B-Haven - Bondwood Vintage Ski Boat, V8 Ford Flathead power, from Renmark
Miss Adelaide - Hydro (display only)

What sort of accomodation is available, we could be starters as well. Ray

[Alan]

Ray,
I'm still 50/50 and trying to work out how I can get there, but Darren has a house booked so give him a call (or Greg or me)
Alan.

Also add "Crackerbox" that was in the last newsletter.

Dig Traeger did a couple of demo runs at the Mypolonga Race meet on the weekend
to help pormote the Goolwa event.
We had flyers on hand, and spoke to quiet a few interested people who have old race boats.
The entry list is growing
Rasputin, 4.2 ltr Healy Hydro - running
Hopefully Big John can bring down maybe one or two surprises for display

More info as the entries come in

We're starters as well, have sorted out accomodation, just not sure whether to bring the boat, might be a bit out of it's league. Mind you i have a rudder now and i will have a ski pole by then!! cheers Ray
