Garry, what an amazing record you have put together. The photos and footage on the water and in the sheds is fantastic. You have achieved a legacy that will be used in the future to show what is possible by the human hand and dedication and skill. Its a testimony of that skill that so many of these boats are still on the water today. Thankyou.

Thankyou very much for this great documentary Gary. I fondly remember Jeff Robinson and his boat Iluka, on both Port Philip and Corio bay. She was a beautiful boat.
