    Default Pics from the Lake Macquarie Classic BoatFest 2011 - looking forward to 2012!

    It was a nice little show.

    Bruce brought his "for sale" Goat Island Skiff down and I drove up from Sydney with AlexN, who is building his OzRacer.





    There were boats on the land



    (and some other "classics" too - Australian blokes of a certain vintage will know what I mean)



    Also there were boats afloat. Including a Bolger Birdwatcher and a couple of NIS26s



    Even a boat from a past life (10 years ago - when I used to paint and varnish nice boats for a living in Sydney) This is Lahara. The decks and cabin roof are still OK, but the varnish needs some serious work.

    Hi Mik

    Thanks for the pics, great photos. You know, I was thinking that it may have be worth going down for that show but when I saw all the stuff about getting a parking permit etc I was put off and thought that it may have been a hassle, so didn't go and face the traffic. Shame, as it looks as though it was a nice little show!

    Kelpie (NIS 26) seems to have been at every show there's been of late! The Bolger Birdwatcher alone would have made it worth seeing, not to mention the P38 .

    Thanks Mik

    I have started making bets with people who think that it is.

    If the world does end they won't have to pay me. But not a single taker! Why would that be?

    How about the chap (or chapette) that wanted to go for a sail?

    Did that eventuate?
