Everyone has photos stuck away in albums and you never appreciate them, SO I wanted to fix that dilemma.

Marg in her wisdom, gave me one room in our apartment to do with as I wanted to do. SO I picked out my favourite yachting photos and had them printed and laminated. Each time I walk in there, it reminds me of some magic memories. I loaded them on my facebook page, but I thought that if I lose them for whatever reason, I wouldn't be happy.

Consequently, I created this page.

My Facebook page with comments.

Created - Saturday 7th December 2019.

The raw canvas.

Some of my photos plus King Tut and George Pell icans.

Some more photos plus a signed model of Australia 11.

A brilliant start, we were leading Wildo V143 who finished 3rd overall in the titles.

1980. My best sequence of yachting photos.

We were sailing at Port Melb YC about mid fleet, heading to the finish line when we spotted a photographer on the finish boat. SO I aimed at him and these 3 photos were the result.

My brilliant photogenic crew were DC & JH.

1984 - Black Rock Yacht Club.

After sailing a fast crewed yacht. A Lightweight Sharpie.
I still wanted 'the need for speed' and so I bought an A Class Catamaran and I sailed a few times from the Black Rock YC, where I was a member from the 60s to 80s.

1977. The Red Rocket and Willieverwin?
