waikiore 399 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I would say one of our old boats and dinghy nz shape and agree with BP Whangaroa Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Whangaroa Okahumoko I don't know the yacht but someone will. Here is Viking same place. Ahh the days of the one boat bay.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 My best is Mahaki , as I said there. She's a circa 1894 Logan. Its hard to tell length in a foreshortened shot like that but Mahaki had a short bowsprit and was unusual for the day in that she was sloop rigged as opposed to cutter, which that photo subject has and is. The sheer fits , the cabin windows and coamings fit, the bow which is transitional clipper, not spoon , fits. I still get the feeling it might be a shorter boat than mahaki but , well, thats my best slightly educated in the area , guess. I also vaguely recall a cruise to Whangaroa in Mahaki being written up in one of the ancient magazine articles I used to pore over. I came very close to buying her off Russell Going in about 1982 or perhaps 3. Eric Wing bought her and restored her to close to sailing condition , he used to keep her down on his berth at his yard by the Caltex. Now Orams. On the WBF the photo is called Whangaparoa 1930. Well we know its Whangaroa of course , thats a typo . But the 1930 could well be correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 Photos taken by the guy on the right Henry Winkelman. His collection of plates are housed in the Museum I believe and would it not be a grand exhibition to have on display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Priscilla II 392 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Getting hard to have that experience on the water these days. I scuttle off in my princess alone every now and then for what I term mental health days and just lie in my cockpit or berth and read about great sea battles and adventures. Part of the aging process I suppose along with becoming a avid bird watcher. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
