A classic-boat gallery
Some photos of classic motorcruisers that have caught our eye during boating holidaysDuring our holiday travels and travails we've witnessed the undeniable pull and charm of some wonderful classic timber boats. Some have been steaming past, others sitting on the anchor, yet others set sail. Some have even leapt from our old hard-drives during random computer searches back in the office.
Boats with provenance and brand recognition tend to be the ones that catch your eye and stop you in your tracks. Their custodians recognise their craft's beauty and historic significance and make it their responsibility to maintain them to the best of their abilities. This way, we mere onlookers can also enjoy their presence and charm.
So here is a little gallery of a dozen or so photos of classic timber motorcruisers for no other reason than they exist. These are wonderful boats built by hand by Halvorsens, Norman Wright and Sons, Millkraft, Bert Ellis, Clem Masters and more.
There are plenty of beautiful classic timber boats in our classifieds to whet your appetite for a restoration if you want to raid the wallet.
Meantime, we're sure you'll enjoy just looking at these frames of some Australian-made timber beauties that capture an epoch in boating history and have crossed our bows during recent and past holiday afloat.
