Lady Margaret (Dick Lang)

LADY MARGARET

I post this as pure eye candy on a wet & windy day. Lady Margaret has to be one of the prettiest vessel’s in the CYA fleet, no matter what angle you approach her from she is dam near perfect to the eye. Her owner cares for her like a 73 year old lady should be.

    I have a Coulthard part file ready if I ever feel the need with Lucinda. Modelled from the Coulthard 26footer’s plaque which was up the river in Whangarei. Speaking of which, the cute nearby Sam Ford launch has since been totally butchered and seen on trademe in a state, it’ll be her end.

  5. Or take a close up photo of the builders plate, take it to the experts and they will make a pattern and caste one for you for a couple of hundred dollars. Been there done that. Bit more honest than Harold’s suggestion.

  6. I’m sure Dick Lang had a plate. There’s probably still one aboard RESOLUTE. Track her down and pinch her plate?

  10. Can’t find any images of Clarks L.M.s earlier days, — the earlier Wakatakataka Bay era — am I not looking in the right place, or hasn’t anyone posted any yet? KEN RIEKETTS

  11. The kauri log she was built from came from my uncle’s property near Port Charles near Cape Colville. My cousin May Clark was sister-in-law to Ted & Margaret Clark. The L M was bought in later years by Jim Francis of Otahuhu. She had one of the Ngapipi Rd boatsheds.Perhaps she still has.
