Welcome to the Batteau Anthony Rucker's Boat Page!
"Anthony Rucker"
Boat Flipping went well!
The new Anthony Rucker batteau was turned over on Sunday, April 19, 2009 at Ralph Smith's house in Amherst County.
Many batteauists from all around a several county radius came over to help filp the boat. The boat was then shoved by the many people up onto the trailer.
The new boat looks great. People sat around inside and drank cold beverages and ate hot dogs while batteau stories could be heard until past dark.
A message from Ralph & Tom:
On behalf of Tom and myself along with the entire Anthony Rucker crew, we want to thank everyone who showed up Sunday for the batteau flipping and post flipping events. I won't try to recognize each batteau program which has individuals help for fear of missing some, but it was very gratifying to see so many people give of their time to help out.
So the Rucker is flipped and on the trailer, having that milestone behind us we look forward to getting it finished up well ahead of the festival.
Thanks again,
Ralph & Tom
