Classic speed boats

Plurr Rascal Match II Hwila Vitesse Träbåt Parbleu Help me out here, guys? M/Y Hwila
This is how real speed boats look. From the recent Stockholm City Hall celebrations. There is a boat club at the Långholmen island. Only open to wooden boats. It is called Heleneborgs båtklubb. Every time I walk by there, I stop to marvel at the many beautiful boats on both sides of the canal. They had a presentation of some of their boats, and a few others as well. The guy presenting them told us a few facts about every boat. He also interviewed a couple of the skippers.

They are beautiful. I went to a show of them here several yeas ago and each boat was wonderful to see. People put so much work into them.
