ex Elly 276 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 A small boat that played a big role in New Zealand's maritime history has been lovingly restored to its former glory. In 1966, at the age of 17, New Zealand yachting legend Sir Peter Blake started to build his first keel yacht in the backyard of his family home in Bayswater on Auckland's North Shore. With help from his brother Tony and good friend Crawford Duncan, the yacht, named Bandit, was built and modified over the next three years. http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/central-leader/87465646/Sir-Peter-Blakes-first-handmade-yacht-lovingly-restored Link to post Share on other sites
