Priscilla II 392 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Anybody know this boat. Nice looking hull and a chop and channel would not go amiss. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1683136704 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

El Toro 97 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 How many are there?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 How many are there?? With that one I'm thinking,.... three of similar age/ type. ie classics. Looking in the classics register... The early one is Colin Wild 1928 Next is the 1940 Dick Lang , more what I regard as a standard bridgedecker style That one above I don't know and haven't read the ad. looks late '50's or 60's?

IanG 0 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 This Lady Margaret was built by Pete Gardner in Whangarei and launched in 1949, I think (need to check the details at home). She spent her early days in one of the Riverside Drive boatsheds; in the other half of the shed that is still occupied by my launch. She originally had a couple of Ford V8 petrol engines. The flying bridge, boarding platform and diesel engines all came after she left the Gardner family's ownership, in the late 70s or early 80s. I do not know anything of her history after that. Our boats cruised together in the Whangarei Harbour and up the Northland coast for many years, and often rafted up. I am not sure what Pete would make of some of the current decor. It sounds as though she has a few problems now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Not Lady Margaret goes through hole Coincidentally , so does Ian G 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I am not sure what Pete would make of some of the current decor. Zebra skin print on a classic launch? Someone needs to walk the plank - that is awful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IanG 0 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The Hole in the Rock always looks much bigger from a photo like that than it does when you are going through it, especially the first time. I have a photo of Riada from the same day somewhere, mooching around in close to the Cape. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 44 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thats BNG's isnt it? Nah, this is me, 1928 Colin Wild. A bit more pedigree than a NZ built Chris Craft design 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Crikey the price just keeps on dropping and the comments keep on coming. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1713454680 Appears maybe the vendor also owns the Robyn Gae. The last time I saw her. Also owned Kochab II a Buchanan 53 yawl I remember as a lad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 The comments section in the trademe listing is worth a read all buy itself. Get some popcorn ready before you start... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 44 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Yeah, I hate the fact that it has the same name as mine as over time people get stuff mixed up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted August 3, 2018 Author Share Posted August 3, 2018 Noel Barrott raced Kochab II in the 1970 Solo Tasman. If it is Noel of the Sina interestingly the long time owners of Kochab II / Starfire are CCA medal recipients just like Noel and Latira. https://www.cruisingclub.org/award/far-horizons-award-kaspar-and-trisha-schibli http://markwallaceshipwright.com/projects/sail-boats/starfire.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
