Zoe 8 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 A bit of history here but I'm wondering why these trophies weren't retained by the club? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Antiques-colle ... 281768.htm Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Well spotted. Gotta think that if these trophies were won by the yachting Goodfellow family that are still around now, this should be all over very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Saw them today, Not something that should be sold for profit i dont feel. Should be donated back to the clubs? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Is anyone at the Squaddy aware of this auction? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Wern't trophy's in those days presented to the owner to keep. There is a story of one owner smashing one up on presentation because it was EPNS not solid silver. Link to post Share on other sites
MrWolf 0 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 In the old days if a boat/skipper won a trophy three times it was presented to them. Link to post Share on other sites

ScottiE 174 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Marshy - the guy's clearly some kind of antique/knick-knack trader - he's only interested in profit! Link to post Share on other sites
Murky 1 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 And possibly trying to provoke a response from the most likely buyer: Q. Have you offered these back to the club that presented them (RNZYS). I imagine they may be interested....? skytoys (110 ) 9:47 am, Tue 6 AprA. hi yes i have they had first option to buy but the historian did not get responded to by the commodore so he decided not to make an offer as he did not have the authority to purchase without approval that is why it is up for sale on trade me thank you 9:58 am, Tue 6 Apr It is nice to have trophies around your home but better to win them than to buy them (and winning an auction doesn't count!).

Guest Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Who is the current owner of Ariki? They may be interested, maybe not interested in paying for them of course. Link to post Share on other sites
