176th AUCKLAND ANNIVERSARY DAY REGATTA
Today’s photo is from the Mac Taylor collection & shows what I suspect is one of the Colin Wild ‘3 sisters’ my pick is Lady Gay, I’ll need help with the two yachts 🙂
Hopefully the weather gods will smile today & there will be some exciting racing to watch.
One of the real hoots of the day is the Tug Boat Race – it starts at 10.00am off Princess Wharf – course chart below + viewing points map.
Recent WW Posts – Sorry if some of the recent posts have appeared at ‘odd’ times but the platform that WW runs on has been upgraded & I have been having a few teething issues.
Just returned from the Mahurangi Regatta – amazing number of classic woodys in residence for the weekend – a big WW post on Tuesday 😉

Hi Alan, No she was out west in a storage area. She was owned at that time by my son-in-law, Andy Robinson, who lives in Canada.

Many thanks Chad, Tamatea I understand was destroyed in a fire (arson?) at the Orakei hardstand ?
