ABOUT
Biography of legendary New Zealander Bill (C.W.F.) Hamilton.
His talent for invention and love of boats developed at an early age and he grew up to be a high country farmer, racing driver, engineer, and - almost by accident - the first man to make the jet-propulsion of watercraft a practicality.
Today his patented marine jet propulsion invention that still bares his name is synonymous within the international marine industry.
