  1. Here is a series from the start or the White Island Race in 1981.  In those days the race started before Anniversary Weekend and it was common to get back in time for a sleep and then to race the Anniversary Day Regatta - as the new Admirals Cuppers did that year.

     

    Here is Epiglass NZ.

  2. I have been scanning some old negatives, some of which are in very poor condition, but may bring back some memories.  I hope you find something interesting amongst them.

     

    I will start with the launch of Feltex Roperunner in late 1980 at Half Moon Bay. You may recognize some people, Don and Jim Lidgard, Farr, Bowler...

  3. I did a lot of sailing on Easterly 30s in the late 70s.  Fine cruising and sea boats except for the limitation of their age today.  They felt similar to a Cav 32 at sea.  They were slow, even by the standards of the day, but they felt bullet-proof.

     

    The late Tony Corbett (ex BBYC commodore) soloed Karona back from Mooloolaba after racing there circa 1981 (or was it '83?).
