You are doing a great job with these videos Gary. It was interesting listening to Allan and his memories of the Cayzer Boats which spans several generations , extended family members like Ray Lawrence, many employees and apprentices of which I was one. It was certainly a great trade to learn and we all have some great stories to tell. Allans account was interesting but only just a slither of the whole story of Cayzer Boats maybe next time if you could interview Allans brother Keith Cayzer and some of the past workers like Ray for example you could get a more comprehensive record of Cayzer Boats for the history books. We are literally a dying trade for many reasons.
Lot of craftsmanship and work creating these beautiful boats, but think of the decades of use over their lifespan and they really do become living masterpieces for the ages. "Wooden boats, steel men, steel boats wooden work!"
What a great story lived in East Geelong Rodeo bikes to Queenscliff as a kid and watched boat builders had their doors open there was something happening always near the water
Gary, until recently the warrain was owned by geoff noye at nubeena near port Arthur, I'm pretty sure that is still the case but i stand corrected if it's not , cheers from Tasmania
Great video thanks Garry, i grew up knowing of the Cayzers but your documentary gave me a much better knowledge of the history of the business, family members involved , varieties and sourcing of timbers and the families boats were built for. I really enjoyed watching this. Do you have any idea of the name of the planing hull pictured underway in the Apollo Bay harbour at around the 12:50min mark of the video?
There's not many people left that have the ability to build a big wooden boat anymore it's sad I'm a 3rd generation commercial fisherman in North Carolina shrimping mainly we had a 75 foot long boat built in 1966 sadly she went down on us 7 years ago it was like losing a family member
Being an old seafarer, I love stories like this. Well done to the Cayzers. Thanks Garry.
The GREAT side of the internet, well done.
A great story. Thanks Garry for the effort you put into these videos. I have Sea Hunter . It was great to see the story of Cayzer boats .

I liked the kazer built boat called the suberon 46 ft and very beamy it sank on a trip by new owners to Sydney
The warrain was fishing sw coast of tassie for a chap down here as of 18 months ago, probably still is.
