Does anyone know where I can find more information about the history of Jaffa Orange Juice. I've located the boat.

Wow!!! Many people have wondered where she ended up!!! If you go to www.powerboatarchive.com and search using that name, plus Aussiedrama, and AEG Telefunken, you will find photographs and info. Please share photographs if you can!

She's been in Malta since the 80's. Can't tell you exactly since when. It was converted to a boat that could be used as a day boat. I only found out about it being somewhat iconic recently. Since my grandfather has owned it, it has been named Drongo. He's used it in local races in Malta. Does anyone know what the last livery was before this?

Mark - great photos! Is this how she looks now? I would say the Aussiedrama livery was most likely her previous livery. Thankfully it looks like she has been kept relatively unchanged, hopefully.

Yes that is how she looks now.

Yes that is how she looks now.

Is she undercover Mark or out in the open? Any plans? Would love to know what might happen to her. Does she still have four outboards? Thanks.

Put me out of my misery Mark - I've been scouring Google Earth trying to find her but zero so far! Where is she loacted? It's interesting what you can see on there - did you know that the old Rocky alloy catamaran used to be perched on the roof at Chaudron Powerboats in Malta? She's no longer visible on Earth as she's been returned to the UK and fully re-rigged and modernised.

There are no plans for the boat. It is stored in a garage alongside some other boats. No engines are on the boat anymore.
