Guest Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It is 50 years since OYCs first race to Noumea and Onerahi Yacht Club is holding a reunion on Saturday 26th April 2014 What we need is, for people to pass this on to anyone that you can think of that may have been involved in this race and the 7 others that followed. Also if you have any photos/memorabilia from any of the races we would be very grateful for any copies. We are happy to copy and return originals if that suits. You can PM me here or email me at oycsailing@hotmail.com or I have attached link to club info on our website http://oyc.org.nz/OYC%20Whangarei%20to% ... 0Flyer.pdf Thanks Liesl Link to post Share on other sites
otto 31 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Have just sent an email to a member back then, who I believe was involved and may have some pic's. I was there at the start. Can't remember it tho, apparently I was in a carry cot for my first trip on board the launch Winsome Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,581 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I raced up in '75. Somewhere I have a press clipping my mum saved (we won). If I find it I'll scan it. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks, that would be great, the more we get the better. Are you coming to the reunion as well? Link to post Share on other sites
Crocket 12 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I raced up in '75. Somewhere I have a press clipping my mum saved (we won). If I find it I'll scan it. That's got me thinking. Tarua in '69? Chico in '71, I think Quick Decision in '78, but '75 has got me. I went up in '80 when Digby Taylor in his overgrown 1/2 tonner Delphin won it. Link to post Share on other sites

Crocket 12 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I remember the boat. That was the really big race wasn't it. Was it Paramour that didn't quite make it through the gap? Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 70 something entries? We also thought we had lost Volante for a while, turned out they had lost all their winch handles in a big knockdown early on and just had a slow trip. Link to post Share on other sites
