Bill regularly assists the Lasers with a start boat, one he designed and build from molded ply and today he was again helping for the first August pre season race at Gosford. Bill and I regularly talk boat building and he has been interested in my current project the Dudley Dix Didi 40 Cr. He has very kindly produced a half model of the yacht which he presented to me after today&#8217;s Laser race. It is a lovely model and a very special gift which I will cherish.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_884\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P1010085.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-884\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-884 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P1010085-e1438515334453-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"A photo of Bills boat taken at the Laser Worlds at Terrigal in the 07 08 season.\" width=\"300\" height=\"151\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P1010085-e1438515334453-300x151.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P1010085-e1438515334453-1024x516.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/P1010085-e1438515334453.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-884\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A photo of Bill&#8217;s boat taken at the Laser Worlds at Terrigal in the 07 08 season.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_883\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-02-21.15.18.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-883\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-883 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/3gwiz.com.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-02-21.15.18-e1438515141916-300x102.jpg\" alt=\"Half model of our Didi 40 Cr built by Bill Bollard\" width=\"300\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-02-21.15.18-e1438515141916-300x102.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.gwiz.au\/passion_wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/2015-08-02-21.15.18-e1438515141916-1024x348.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-883\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Half model of our Didi 40 Cr built by Bill Bollard<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bill Bollard a retired naval architect and model maker was a regular Laser sailor at Gosford Sailing club until two seasons ago.
