Trailer Sailer Treasures

August 11, 2009
  Paul has sent in a link to an interesting site. It's a library of Trailer Sailer details and photos complied online by John Crawford Marine in Queensland. I only had a brief look but came across a shot of this Sunmaid  - in our Creek !

Boat & Anglers Club

August 10, 2009

You may remember this shot taken by Gary's son earlier in the year.
