Atalanta > Rotoiti

photos ex Ken Ricketts (b/w) & Harold Kidd

Built by L C Coulthard in 1936. I just ‘discovered the colour photo in my files. There have been other ww posts on her so type her name & the search box to view.

I understand that she might (HDK ??) be featured soon in Boating NZ.

Much as I would like to write about Coulthard in BOATING NZ, I’m not ready for that quite yet. The February Vintage Perspectives will be on the big centreboard cutter ATALANTA built by C. & W. Bailey in 1894 and recently refurbished and relaunched by that wonderful group the WELLINGTON CLASSIC YACHT TRUST who actually walk the walk in rescuing classics.
