The meaning of the word "LEKKER"
An originally Dutch or Afrikaans (South African) word. It used to be used only for food, as in tasty, but now in slang it also means sexy or hot. Often used to describe an attractive boy or girl. It might also be used just as a replacement of cool or sweet. In this case, it is often followed by the word "man". Probalably got adapted into the modern English language because of the South Africans. Who have more interactions with the British and American than the Netherlands has.

As in tasty: "That pizza was pretty damn lekker." As in sexy/hot: "Did you check ou that guy in the shoe store? He is so lekker." As in cool/sweet: "Guess what? I won the first prize! - Lekker man!"

Lekker in Australia
Lekkerboats are dutch designed boats, build in Australia. Lekkerboats are lightweight, maintenance free and fast, but overall they all share the same value of a social boat. Lekker wants to make the experience of boating a more social experience without suffering on Australia’s favourites like fishing, bbq and waterskiing and wakeboarding. These boats are inspired on designs that proved themselfes for even centuries in Holland, now combined with the necessarily options and modern techniques for the Australian waters.
