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...

Thanks shaggybaxter - maybe it is to stop crew falling off the back of the boat!!!

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.

Awesome

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.
