Sailing Sunday – Neil Chalmers

Sailing Sunday – Neil Chalmers

Now if there was an award at next months CYA Prize Giving ( May 20th @ RNZYS – 7.00pm) for ‘Nicest Bloke’, Neil would win it, in fact every year. You would have to walk a long way to find anyone that did not have a nice thing to say about Neil. He will be embarrassed that I said the above but its true. Always there when you need some advice or encouragement & most of what he does goes un-noticed.
Now Neil attended the 2015 Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobert & packed his box brown – below is a selection of ‘stuff’ that caught his eye. I think he included the zoom zoom boat to keep the launches happy 🙂

Check out the price on the dinghy……………….

Several CYA members crossed the ditch for the bi-annual wooden boat festival in Tasmania. A group transported the kiwi skiff  ‘wee’ Tawera over to take part in the rowing section of the regatta & I understand did us proud with a win.
Rumour has it that Neil Chalmers was cruising the docks & hopefully took the Box Brownie with him.
Simon Smith sent in the gallery of boating photos below + a couple of stunning scenery shots, love the one of Hobart town bathed in sunshine.
This event is on my bucket list. Enjoy 🙂
