Lake Taupo c.1950’s.
photo ex Paul Drake
This photo appeared on a postcard & shows two boats that have recently featured on ww – Lady Pat & Moana.
Also in the picture, on moorings, in line astern are – Kotare (steel), Arcadia and Kahurangi.
Arcadia is still on Lake Taupo – with new cabin. Kahurangi was last seen at Mana, Paremata, also with new cabin. KOTARE is still at Lake Taupo.
The vessel poking out of the boat shed is Water Nymph now restored and at Lake Rotioti.

Note the dinghies tethered to LADY PAT and KAHURANGI. Clearly their owners were aboard. Also the pram dinghy tethered to the boatshed. This is the Drake family dinghy, still going strong after 60+ years. Inside the shed is the 22 foot C&B 1916 built SIR FRANCIS.Also still going strong, she has had the same owners (the Drake family) for 75 years.
