I took a video of Black Betty screaming down the Swan River last Saturday afternoon.

The video is on my Facebook Group - Ironbark Photos - www.facebook.com/groups/1957909027766518/

A direct link to the video is here - www.facebook.com/100014023759223/videos/361044967706292/

A couple of photos here too...

cheers

Im trying to work out what the little fence is on the port / then starboard side of the transom?

Thanks for sharing!

Great vid, great boat. Those Fast 40s and TP52s make the canting keel boats look silly in some ways - they go incredibly well without engines running.

Thanks boty. Yeah there were a lot of different sailing boats on the Swan River that day - a big regatta put on by the Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club.

Just the deck pattern. Perspective makes it look like a fence.
