CLASSIC MASON CLIPPER RUNABOUT

CLASSIC MASON CLIPPER RUNABOUT

As the WW early birds read todays story I will heading down State Highway 1 to attend the Lake Rotoiti Classic & Wooden Boat Festival. 

Therefore its only appropriate that todays classic craft is a 1967 25’ Mason Clipper. Good looks and breeding let me overlook that her hull is the evil f/glass.

Powered by a 250hp Yamaha 4-stroke outboard one would assume she can lift her skirt and run rather fast 🙂 Thanks Ian McDonald for the heads up.

If you couldn’t make it to the lake today – check out WW Monday for a photo gallery / parade report.

SERIOUSLY – DID I READ THAT CORRECTLY…….

You have worry when you read the criteria for boat selection at an Australian (Victoria) Classic Boat Rally – “ If its older that 25 yrs, of historical value or of classic design”

True classics must be few and far between over the ditch to have craft built in 2000 labeled CLASSIC.😎

  1. The Clipper is looking rather stretched to accommodate that outboard, the standard Clipper was 24′, this one must be 26′.

    Do we know this Clipper’s name? They were built from 1967 – 1980 so it could have been built anywhere in that period
