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.

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. :shock:

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 Apr

A. 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!).
