Reeks apprenticed with Alexander Richardson and at shipbuilders George Inman & Sons in England. He became an expert at yacht design and propulsion.[1] He was active in the Sydney yachting community on arrival in Australia and joined several of the yacht clubs and engineering associations. He was Rear Commodore for the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron from 1906 to 1910.[2] He was president of the NSW Engineering Association in 1914.[3] He designed a number of Sydney ferries including all 'Lady' series up to 1915. The Lady Denman is one example.[2][4] Reeks married Mary Emma Kent in March 1889. They had a daughter, Thelma, and son, Thomas, together. Mary died in 1895 and Reeks married again in 1900. Reeks's son was murdered in England in 1914.[5][6][7] Reeks died in October 1925.[8] Several of his yachts are extant as of 2018, including Boomerang and Ena in Sydney.[9] References1. ^1 {{Cite book|url=http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/reeks-walter-8172/text14287|title=Australian Dictionary of Biography|last=Prescott|first=A.
