Thanks for that Dave-------clever old bugger when it comes to piccies ! Where did you learn HOW TO ,
Even expensive cameras curl up and die once they fall into my hands------box brownie is about my stamp.
Kodaks don't seem to last long in the shop------they seem to have an abhorant aversion to sawdust, metal filings and greasy fingers-------and me!

Aw C'mon Stavros , Willie got more wrinkles than a pickled walnut, barrage balloons under his eyes. Snowy white beard, jugs for ears, eyebrows like he's been out in a snow blizzard all night, and a conk that Julius Caesar would die for-------eyes like pissholes in the sand, he also looks AGED , as for a bloody pigtail ????? You can tell from looking at him he never had a sainted mother and has an unhappy sex life.
Apart from that, I still don't see any resemblance whatsoever.

Gene, some time ago you posted a piccie of a wooden yellow runabout, looked a bit like a Raveau to me. Tried to find the photo, but I must have deleted it, think it had a Merc 500 with a couple of pipes. Think you could post it again for me please.

Here we go again------scrap yard Saturday, her indoors reckons it's an "Addiction"--------either that or I found a bit of fluff in the office ? If I just keep schtum and say nothing, smile and nod pleasantly, that compounds the situation !
Big family get together in Eastbourne this afternoon, one of those annual get togethers that you have to go to.

That was the last boat race I ever competed in------after the race, Marks mum walked up to the pair of us and said----"OK, that's it ! ----one of you is finished boat racing-----I don't care which one---but you will never, ever, compete with each other again" ?
We had just won the ON class in Paris------put in record laps, time and again, split the fuel tank and repaired it, won by under 100 yards after 6 hours-----
MARK AND I NEVER COMPETED AGAINST EACH OTHER AGAIN.

Good Morning Steve!!
That cute little girl is my sister--Judy Darwick--Small World!!!---A few years later, she was driving that Volvo Penta at the Stadium--1965--
Once again Mr. Kiekhaefer was not pleased as I had been leading inboard Class A by a wide margin and should have been running a little more conservatively. Consequently, a Volvo Penta won the Class. I guess I only knew one speed.....HAMMER DOWN! -Steve

Gene - Small world indeed. I did know that Fred Darwick & Wife ran the winning Volvo. However, I did not know that she is your sister.

...nice photo. Hodges built some beautiful caskets, and some even more beautiful tunnels. They were hard to beat back then...

Yeah, well it's Sunday Gene, got a neighbours Bar-B-Que at noon and four hours playtime till then.
Those damned Raveau's are such a beautiful piece of kit, I thought I might just cobble up a boat and motor. See if I can keep the little grey cells alive. Besides I have never before seen a four pot Mercury with Twin pipes, driven by a guy in a "Pork Pie" helmet.
What I've stitched together is purely out of my head--------450/500 Merc now looks more like the 700!
(First motor I ever raced, came on the back of a 15' Derry, YELLOW PERIL-------bought it off' Bob May).
Tried to keep the hull in timber-----probably send it to Roger H, or J. Schubert to do the paint job. I'm lousy at painting.
Whenever the name Raveau. Comes up, I think of Oligator------James Hunt------one of the best drivers America ever produced.
