Jack Brooke Cruise Collection Judith Xmas 1951-52
Jack Brooke Cruise Collection #3 – Judith Xmas 1951- 52
Thanks to Robert Brooke for making these remarkable cruise drawings done by his father, Jack Brooke, available to ww followers. Jack produced a hand drawing on each cruise. Todays post is the third of several – enjoy.
The above drawing records the travels of Judith during their annual Christmas / New Year Cruise. Looking at the track north from Cape Rodney to Cape Brett it must have been a great ride – they were going from 2 to 3 reefs in the main & tri-sail. If I’m reading things correctly from Cape Rodney to Whangamumu took 8hrs.
No crew list on this one.

I should be interested, too, Mireille. We had Judith from 1957 to 1981, I think, and I have often wondered what happened to her. Hope all is well with you…

My partner (Harry and Jean’s grandson) saw Judith on the hard at Stillwater around 2010-2011. Does anyone know where she is now or who owns her?

We (Harry and Jean Upton and family) had Judith after the Brookes, from about 1957 to 1981. Mostly based at Kawau or the Sandspit, though we had moorings at Davenport as well.
