You've just described my childhood up to the age of 17yo. Dad started with a Griffin 16, then a Boomerang 20 and when I was 14 upgraded to a 40 foot steel ketch which now lives at the southern end of Lake Macquarie.Simon said:Let me paint the picture.

These things are just so cool and so practical. They take anything from petrol to metho to kero and probably cheap spirits to run, and they can do a mean stir fry. But compared to those big 6 gas burner barbies, I am an impotent and unimpressive weak excuse for an Aussie male.....
