I just got my new boat on Friday! Starcraft Elite 246 RE - 24' Party Barge :D

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.

This one is called the African Queen - its at Lincoln in UK. Its not mine by the way.
LOL i've cycled passed that i think , just outside the brayford next to the railway track right ?
 
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.

The boat itself isn't mine, and I no longer cox for them, but this was "my boat." Taken at the San Diego Crew Classic.

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.

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.
