Other |
I am the third owner of the SL Robin Gordon. Peter Uscinski built it and then my good friend Tom Talbot from Western Australia purchased it from Peter then I purchased it from Tom in 2004 and brought the boat to South Australia. The boat runs very smoothly and is a great piece of engineering and a credit to Peter. |
