Hell Yeah!! Boatbuilders. Pty Ltd

What a weekend it was for the Australian Sports Boat Association QLD state titles! Held over the weekend out of Wynnum Manly Yacht Club, we did 7 races out up- 3 Saturday and 4 Sunday.

The racing was tight between the two sisterships Ethel and Slingshot, with finish times of only a few seconds apart. Their flush decked sister Raw prawn has just hit the water again after a huge rebuild, the team spent the weekend learning the boat and improved during every race. A few little tweaks and they will be up there mixing with Ethel and Slingshot!!

Next up is St Helena cup where all 3 boats will be out again to battle it out.

2 sisters ready for this weekend’s racing. It’s looking a little spicy on the wind forecast 😬

Ethel is entered! All you other sporties get your entries in!

Tough weekend for the Caniapa Cup. A light wind regatta with no wind at times. 5th over the line both days saw us claim 2nd in the performance racing division. Sailing only 2-up saw us pretty busy at times but it paid off with some great performances against much bigger boats in light airs.

The Hervey Bay Boat Club Bay To Bay Yacht Race 2025’ done and dusted. Plenty of fast, wild and fun rides this year as well as a decent amount of carnage on the course! Thanks to Jamie for the actions shots!

Final prep for The Hervey Bay Boat Club Bay To Bay Yacht Race this long weekend. Currently looking like a fast weekend.

All set for tomorrow. 😎😎

We’re back baby! 80 boat fleet for this weekend’s St Helena Cup!

St Helena Cup wrap up. She was blowing crabs off the rocks on the first day so we went for a sail out there to see what it was like, decided to take the conservative approach and head back in. We don’t have the time these days to repair things as easily so conserving our asset to fight another day was the choice.

Sunday was windy but far more manageable. Tokyo may have put a kite sheet through the auto ratchet block the wrong way so out of the start there was a lot of just “steer to it” happening. We got around the course with a big downwind run with the big bag on… sketchy at times but fast! It wasn’t our weekend to be but like always…. A great time was had.

Can you see a little white kite in the second photo? 😂😂

Well, we better pull the old girl out for The St Helena Cup again this year…. 😁😁

Coming’ in hot !!
