ramsay ski boat club
WELCOME TO "CHAMPERS" WATERSKI CLUB. WE ARE A CLUB FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE OWNED AND LOVED RAMSAY SKI BOATS PLEASE SEND US YOUR PHOTOS OF YOUR BOAT AND SKIING DAYS OR INTERESTING STORIES
THE RAMSAY BOAT STORY BEGINNING AS WE KNOW IT. YEARS AGO LES BUILT HIS FIRST BOAT CALLED "SEE-VU" AND RACED IT. HE RAN A LOGGING BUSINESS IN THE VICTORIAN TOWN OF MANSFIELD AND ONLY IN THE WINTER HE BUILT BOATS. HE BUILT PERFORMANCE FIBREGLASS BOATS, AND SHIPPED THEM ALL OVER AUSTRALIA, AND PART OF HIS PLAN WAS TO BUILD FIBREGLASS BOATS FOR COMPETITION USE., AND A GOOD SOCIAL BOAT ..HE WAS THE FIRST TO USE A HOLDEN V8 ENGINE USED IN MARINE RACING. THE COMPETITION AGAINST HIM AT THE TIME HE WAS BUILDING, WAS LEWIS BOATS. AND MAVERICK BOATS.. BUT HIS PRODUCT OF PERFECTION IS STILL IN DEMAND TODAY,, AND IF YOU HAVE ONE OF HIS BOATS YOU KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. PEOPLE ARE BUYING AND RESTORING RAMSAY BOATS ALL AROUND AUSTRALIA, AS THEY ARE NOT MADE ANYMORE. To tell you how respected Les was in his field, this is an extract of a old Ramsay brouchure "AFTER MORE THAN 25YEARS EXPERIENCE IN DESIGNING, BUILDING AND RACING FIBREGLASS BOATS, THERE ARE FEW MEN IN THE INDUSTRY BETTER ABLE THAN - LES RAMSAY - TO APPRECIATE THE CHANGES THE CONCESSIONS NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH THE PRESENT DAY BOATING SCENE. GONE ARE THE DAYS WHEN A MANUFACTURER WAS ABLE TO BUILD A NUMBER OF STANDARD MODELS, APPOINT SUFFICIENT AGENTS TO HANDLE HIS OUTPUT, THEN SIT ON HIS REPUTATION AND AWAIT NEXT SEASON'S BOOM. AFTER FOUR YEARS AWAY FROM THE INDUSTRY LES RAMSAY HAS RETURNED TO IT WITH A COMPLETELY NEW OUTLOOK. A LIMITED NUMBER OF MODELS ALREADY ARE AVAILABLE DIRECT FROM THE BLACKBURN FACTORY, WITH A FURTHER CRAFT AT THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE. TOOLING IS WELL ADVANCED ON A 12METRE {40FT} LUXURY CRUISER, WITH ANTICIPATED LAUNCHING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. APART FROM THE STANDARD FACTORY PRODUCTION, LES RAMSAY MARINE INTENDS TO EXPAND ITS SPECIALISED CUSTOM BUILDING OPERATIONS AND FULL SERVICING FACILITIES TO EXISTING AND FUTURE CUSTOMERS. THE NAME LES RAMSAY HAS BEEN SYNONYMOUS WITH THE HIGHEST QUALITY IN FIBREGLASS FOR MANY YEARS. NOW THAT HE AND HIS SON MAVE RE-ENTERED THIS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE FIELD, EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO REGAIN AND MAINTAIN THE REPUTATION SO LONG ENJOYED. " MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IS STILL CARRIED ON TODAY BY MARK RAMSAY. LET THE RAMSAY LEGEND LIVE ON. HAPPY SKING TO ALL. NOEL AND BEV email champersski@bigpond.com.au Email:
