My old boat can be seen next to it (the red canoe)

Party barges can be fun! I think they would sorta be better than a sailboat, more room to roam.

Wally build some neat boats.
Never seen them before.

Wow. Awesome.

Out of curiosity, an idea on how much the Wallypower 118 cost?

Edit: Found the following...

It is capable of maintaining speeds of up to 60 knots (75mph), a feat almost unheard of considering its 118ft length. All this comes at a price of $24 million for the three gas turbine and two auxiliary diesel engine version. There is also a $16 million twin diesel version that will top out at 45 knots and cruise at 40 knots.

Well, I have a Laser Radial which I race a lot. :p

I used to race Radials! In fact - I raced them all as I got older (exept the M - yuk), starting with a 4.7 as a little 12 year old.

nice boats some people here have, congrats :)


I don't have any photos right now, but I build boats, mainly small row boats, dories, sailing skiffs, etc. I'm working on a 16 foot skiff right now, I'll probably double mast it for a unique look. When I finish I'll grab a photo and post it here. For now, here's a look at where I do my work:

I do most of my work by hand, but I'm still fairly in-experienced, I've only built a few boats, but considering I do it as a hobby, I don't think that's too shabby

Spot on! - Some of the boats are in a pretty sad state along there.

ZLAC? :confused: Eh, if you look closely at the rowers' unis, you'd see Cal. Cal women's crew team. Interestingly, two of the rowers in that boat were walk-ons, and I was also a walk-on.

Well I feel foolish. I didn't even bother to look at their shirts...

ZLAC is the best local rowing club. Good times, good times.

Far too 'nice', all this plastic stuff. You need something with a bit of character....

Mine is the 2003 (rev. a, bought it at NY Boat Show during debut). We have white hull, and some little differences, but same hull.

EDIT: Link isn't working, so I attached a version.
