A pictorial history of New Zealand’s mighty P Class yacht

Whilst trolling around the Wellington Classic Yacht Trust facebook page I uncovered the above gem that utilizes the two formats of a slide show and video clips to showcase the history New Zealand’s mighty P-Class featuring images and footage from the 1920s to 2013.
The clip has been assembled by P Class expert and historian Gun Caundle, from photos collected while researching for his book ‘Our Secret Weapon’, a history and stories about the P Class. While 15 minutes long its great viewing & I’m sure most woodys will bothe relate to it & probably recognize some of the people featured. Enjoy 🙂

  2. Wonderful nostalgic video. Could the shot of Jimmy Gilpin be the son of Betty & Ted Gilpin?(Oliver & Gilpin) Ted was Willie Oliver’s son in law.
    Interesting to see the Marconi Rig appearing in the1970’s
