Alright then, the lime green one is my latest addition to my fleet (now 4 IOM's) Sailing at Wattle Downs last friday.

"Rumour has it" most strippers work better uncovered.

A modern take on the ancient Greek bow.

We carry on lithium batteries for radio control yachts in flameproof bags not problem. I think this is a max of 100 or 160 Wh.

I had a 1 -2 week delay at Wilco but Terminator straight away service.

Just taken the club rubber duckie to Terminator Boats, Albany for repairs, great service speedie turnaround, thanks Kevin. Yes us toy boaters do have big boats, well a 2.2m Aquapro with a 2hp Yamaha.
