25.01.2022 Sorry - we're a bit hard to contact at the moment . One Operation down - one more to go... then back on deck ! Thanks to the care of the Mount Barker and Albany hospitals.

25.01.2022 What a way to end 2019 with the release of over 2000 juvenile Black Bream into the Murray River with special guests Professor Lyn Beazley and David Templeman ML...A. A collaborative effort between PHCC, Murdoch Uni, John Tonkin College (JTC) and Peel Development Commission (through the State Government's Royalties for Regions program), it is hoped this release will help boost Black Bream numbers in the Peel-Harvey Estuary. Our guests were also treated to a guided tour of the aquaculture system led by the students at JTC to provide a deeper understanding of why Black Bream are considered one of the most important recreational fish species and how they play a pivotal role in the health of our ecosystem. This was the first of two planned releases with the second release proposed for later in the year. #PeopleWorkingTogether #CaringForOurRivers

20.01.2022 The BIG family boat - Available as tiller steer , centre consol or side consol. .Spindrift 4.2 POLY Dinghy - had a great time blasting around the bay on Sunday. the Spindrift worked brilliantly , really stable and incredibly fast through the chop - without breaking your back , the cat hull knifing through the waves and when airborne , would land on a cushion of air and foam A Terrific family boat OR Rescue Boat Very Stable catamaran hull Can be set up as tiller steer or centr...e consol performs great through the chop - the cat hulls cut through the waves this makes it 'easy on your back' very dry - the spray is thrown away from the boat performs incredibly well at slow speeds or with a small motor which makes it easy to maneuver around picking up pots or nets Fantastic Rescue / support vessel. Great for rowing clubs sailing clubs and schools Straight hull line makes it easy to come alongside stricken vessels. SMOOTH TRANSITION between low speed and planing. Which makes it easier to keep a visual on someone /something in the water for safer/easier/faster recovery Easy access along hull to move forward and aft to assist with recovery Built to NSCV with level flotation and swamped stability for your safety on the water [REQUIRED FOR ANY COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS BY AMSA] PRE-APPROVED Survey for Hire ,commercial Tender ,Rescue craft . - see side bar of home page for video's [then scroll down See more

20.01.2022 Homemade Casting deck on 3 m Spindrift catamaran - Quiet Electric motor

19.01.2022 Aust Recreational Boating Commitee - have admited incorrect buildplate infomation was a contributing factor to a TRIPLE FATALITY boating incident......[not thi...s video- but similar circumstances].................................. ]............... Outboards drag the aft end down! Boats WITHOUT motor wells to stop flooding over the stern should generally have half the capacity and motor size that they're sold with [on their ABP compliance plate] - see pic . After reading 100's of CORONERS reports I have become angry over the unnecessary loss of lives when the boat owner unwittingly TRUSTS the information on the Build plate.[as well as potentially MISLEADING the Coroner] I believe in personal responsibility- but you should be able to trust an 'Australian [Standard] Build Plate' -The National Marine Safety Committee [NMSC] was established in 1997 and did a fantastic job to produce a standard to make boating safer for everyone.[this has been revised 4 times and due to be revised again] - It covers Design , Construction , Stability and Buoyancy. - Every boat in Australia MUST be built to this standard [or equivalent]. A very simple audit would be to walk into a factory and ask - where do you keep your copy of the Aust. Standard.If they haven't even seen one [as I've been told] then they are continuing to put unwitting boaters lives in [mortal] DANGER - [please read comments for boaters reactions and further safety infomation thats been added ] - cheers Alwyn "Following a nationwide examination of the National Standard for the Australian Builders Plate for Recreational Boats and its application, the Australian Recreational Boating Safety Committee (ARBSC) recommended that a limited review of the ABP Standard be undertaken................................................................................................... This examination found WIDESPREAD non-compliance with the current Standard. It identified that the Standard is ambiguous in parts and that it may have potential unintended and undesirable safety outcomes, such as vessel overloading" - Aust Recreational Boating Safety Commitee.

17.01.2022 NSCV Complaint Dinghy- FINN

17.01.2022 NSCV -'DINGHY ', Part of your lifesaving equipment "a craft capable of sustaining the lives of persons indistress from the time of abandoning the vessel"

15.01.2022 TRAILERS - it is important that any boat is well supported on a trailer . The most important aspect is to support the transom and motor. With all FINN boats the best support can be achieved with a box trailer with an extended draw bar. Poly has the advantage of being very slippery so not requiring rollers. Advantage of a box trailer - you can walk down the centre of the trailer [ instead of the slippery boat ramp ] when launching and retrieving. - slide the boat off and use the trailer for other jobs - Normally cheaper than 'Boat trailers' - give terrific support to a long , straight keel-line which keeps your hull performing 'as its designed'

10.01.2022 We've been a bit hard to contact lately - as my son Campbell and I went to Vic for a Junior Slalom Training Camp [ and Vic junior state champs ] An absolutely beautiful course, not difficult , but great for coaching and training. The water is dam released for Hydro and Irrigation from Lake Eildon. [ snow melt ]. I hadn't previously paddled here, but have done on feeders on the other side of the lake - at Howqua and the Big rivers.- would have also loved to chase a few trout while there..cheers Alwyn

09.01.2022 AMSA 'retrospectively' audits Vessels SMS.[see comments] . Maybe after the Austral / Northern Territory Coroners inquest they are going to 'toughen up'.

08.01.2022 Fitting the snap davits is no problem on either the 2.4 or 3.0 m Spindrift. We have fitted either the ‘Hard shell’ snaps or [retro] fitted the[existing ] snaps previously fitted for an inflatable . Generally the snaps can be positioned at a rigid [structural] point, but if you are fitting to an existing position it could be prudent to stiffen under the gunnel with some aluminium [box] section. Additionally , when you attach the ‘high’ side, some weight can be supported at the attachment. There is lots more pics on the facebook photo’s Spindrift 2.4 and 3.0 m site.

08.01.2022 Incredibly proud of my daughter [and her cousin ] who baked some cakes and biscuits , set up a roadside stall , to help raise money for the bushfires - Thanks also to the neighbours who supported them , by purchasing some [yummy] treats
