Seaward
photo ex Shane Anderson
The photo of Seaward above was taken last week at Kawau. She has just had a major makeover & is looking very sharp, unlike myself who is very hangover 😦 so hopeful others will expand on this very historic yacht.
Update & Some Great Yarns From Harold Kidd
I spent many hours trying to establish her provenance and wrote a series of articles about her in Boating NZ. They also dealt with her extensive ocean racing and cruising career which rivaled Ngataki’s . Links below, read 1>5 😉

Yes, downloaded the articles directly from the links in the post and read them – great stuff. I’ll contact Boating NZ to see if they sell back copies. The local library won’t be much help probably – I’m in Zurich, Switzerland.

If you click on the ‘FOLLOW’ button that you will see at the bottom right of your waitematawoody page & enter your details, you will then be able to click on the links to view the articles. Re photos – try the Boating NZ website – there might be a back issue link, or the library.

Any chance to see the photos that go with your articles? Or to get photocopies of the articles? I used to spend time on the Seaward as a kid when it still belonged to the Benson Bros.
