Ahhhh, the sixties…,

Not only did wooden boats rise past their pinnacle, Women were still pretending ‘femininity’.

Those were the golden years.

Actually I feel that “Lifestyle” could be considered as another description of a “Hobby” or Passion”. This hobby or passion fills a significant part of our lives and our style when we’re away from the office, business, family, shop or couch. We dedicate much of our free time to our hobby or passion in preparing for shows and going to shows, or just going boating in an old woody boat. I feel that the term “Lifestyle” fits comfortably to define our hobby or passion.

As for BB, thanks, Woody Boater for searching and finding a way, although subtle, of presenting her as a Woody Boater Babe. I had close encounters with her in my younger days (in my dreams).

Alex, you left out Boat Buzz! Oh, and honorable mention of Bill Baldwin, long time Managing Editor of the Brass Bell.

Carlo Riva never had any sons, only three daughters. He has been quoted many times saying that he wanted his boats to be sexy and capture the eye of a woman. This way men had less friction when wanting one. Safety first then style next was his mindset. The Riva Junior was introduced in 1967 and was meant to attract the younger generation of active boaters and all the watersports they participated in. It is a very unique design and look. Also, Juniors are a very affordable Riva to purchase. A great boat with a lot of dead rise at the transom and American Crusader 327 iron to push you along.

Viva Carlo

Viva Riva

Hmmmm. And here I always thought BB meant Brass Bell, Barrel Back, or Bill Basler. Learn something new every day on this blog.

The classic boat thing is more of a hobby or passion for me, that comes complete with some of the best characters I’ve ever met.

Should I ever wish to take it to the next level, “The Lifestyle,” then yes, Bridget would do just fine, thank you.
