1966 Holiday’s on the Waitemata
photo ex the Gordon Miller family archive, sent in by Adrienne Miller
I have been sitting on this photo for a few weeks – aside from being a very cool photo, its a hoot because it shows two very well known boating people in the photo. The pic was taken in the Christmas 1966 period & shows two Mason Clippers. One person is easy to ID – in the background we have Tony Mason and his family on their Clipper.
The question of the day is – who is the ‘lad’ in the foreground snoozing on the stern of the Clipper ‘Diana’?
ps I’m in hiding – I might get a clip on the ear for posting this 🙂

Well I am surprized no one has ID’ed the ‘lad’, I would have thought the numerous ‘Round the World’ & America’s Cup sailors that follow ww would have picked who it was.

Looks like the pic was taken at Ocean Beach Motuihi but have no ideas on the young lad. Nice pic of Tony M & his family
