Controversial move l

Nice yacht, a Regardless?

About time too, as a member of multiple clubs they have been particularly obstructive when you apply for fee relief , and more smaller clubs have been contemplating opting out to ease the burden on their members.

Fosters/Harken used to import it from Thai Teak, may still have some stock -And Mitchell products ex Takapuna and Silverdale used to make them locally -not sure if they are still extant

Well Heatwave the centreboard one tonner almost had one.....

I was told that CK came off the Kiwi mold and Black Pearl

PS Feather is lovely and F/Glass

A great biannual show, I went on the murky but fine Friday evening, unfortunately a few boats didnt make it but the display was marvelous, I only missed the models not realizing they were upstairs. The Townson 26 looked great particularly set against the ' Couta' boat whose owner must have really wanted a launch -not like the ones I have seen racing in Melbourne which are much closer to our L class mullets. There appeared to be more people around than the Boat Show a week prior!

Possibly not so experienced, by the picture the main has not been secured and they are reaching with a no1 up -which would not be ideal on the wind in 30 knots , motor running or not is irrelevant, many years ago I delivered one of these to Wellington v v slow on the wind -but on a reach slid along well enough though the seas running in and filling the cockpit because there is no bouyancy aft to lift the stern was tedious and gave me great respect for the two boys on Ben Gunn .

What was that Wally said about lifetime warranty, oh followed up by first owner....

Had 40 plus in the Rangi channel last night, we were happy to be entering Wairau Cove rather than going past Reinga ....

And the depth of water in some eastern Coromandel bays .... after many years of development 😉

Wonderful shots Mark and a great event
