waikiore 501 Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 It was a nice evening -catching up with yachting acquaintances from the 70s, a shame the PCC didnt put on more bar staff -the line waiting went out the door, if they had run the other bar they could have doubled their turnover and running out of food was a shame too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geoff-halo 28 Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Last week I attended the wonderful Paul Whiting Tribute in Auckland. I mentioned to Penny Whiting that I am the administrator for the Whiting 29 website and I was keen to build up an online register of Whiting 29's. She then presented me with this massive book which contains historical documentation and photos on every Whiting 29 ever built. What a find! I have now digitised all the pages and uploaded it to our website for all to enjoy: www.whiting29.org Regards, Geoff 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
