Wingman sees Red


Tristan has put in some long hours to sand, fair and paint the Wingman for the new season. A striking red over grey makes it look almost as good as the Juicer. Looking forward to big things from these guys this season.

Skiffbuild 09/2


The irreverent Paul O'Malley-Jones sent me this photo set of him building his new boat "Giddy Up!" last winter. This is the newest boat in the fleet and showed some promise at the Interdominions in Brisbane 09. Now Paulo has decided to up and live in GTown (Geelong) for a year, there is word of a new helmsman on this boat.
