Found the photos taken in 1991 at the airshow commemorating the formation of the Bairnsdale RAAF base in 1941.

The boat was fully seaworthy as a result of a full rebuild at the Paynesville Slip-yard for the 50th anniversary. It is shown on my trailer.

The second photo shows my 1916 Albion with the boat in the background.

The third photo is of one under way and as Lang said, they should get up and go.

The last one shows that the frames are not too bad.

The Paynesville Men's Shed visited last Tuesday and may be interested in taking on the project. (Many more negotiations to go, fingers crossed.)

Regards Rick.

Thanks Ian, That is a good idea and I will submit it to the next KVE meeting. Years ago we had a few different floating object in the river. There were jeep trailers with outboards, an ex-RAAF kapok life raft, a canvas kayak and a few other things. So who knows.

Regards Rick.

Hi Rick the way the rain was falling around you I was thinking you might need the boat to get to town.

Yes Robert, Glad we live on top of a hill. Only about 5 inches so far and as I type this I can hardly hear the TV for the rain on the roof.

Regards Rick.
