G'day 'slippa,

Hi guys, Thanks for appreciating the Aussie talent. On Sydney harbour the 18 footers have along tradition. Many years ago (before political correctness ruled the world) the 18's raced with true ferocity (still do actually). The crews would end in punch ups and raiding other boats if there was a rule...

KRE,

Congrats on the boat. Looks great and I love the video shots.

That finish is fantastic, especially not using 2pac.

I'd like to see the shots of her being splashed.

A job well done. Congrats.
