Hi

Congratulations on a great site - I love it and have been a frequent visitor over the last year or so.

AS you will see from my profile photo I have just become the proud owner of what I believe to be a 1958 or 59 Bell Boy Banshee. The boat and myself are located in Tasmania, Australia, for those of us that are geographically challenged, Tasmania is the small island state that lies off the south east coast of the Australian mainland.

The boat itself is in pretty sorry condition and in need of a full restoration. I am not frightened of a project and am looking forward to this one! Having said that I have never had too much to do with fifty something year old fibreglass boats. I will no doubt be looking to draw on the vast experience of this sites members for advice and perhaps some spares!

Regards
Paul Oakley (Tassieoak)
