Jason Prew & George Renall aboard Wairiki

A Woody Weekend To Remember
I mentioned in yesterdays story, the weekend was just one out of the bag – just magnificent on all fronts.
A few CYA stalwarts headed out on Saturday for an overnighter at Administration Bay, Motutapu Island. The photos above from the combined cameras (more likely iPhones) of Jason Prew, Steve White & Dan Rendall show the yachts – Wairiki & Jonquil & the launch Lucinda. The young crew member in a few photos is Dan Rendall’s son – George, who already has his own P-Class (refer below photos a few weeks ago of the re-launch)
Enjoy the photo spread – they are rather good photos.
(included are a few random pics of other classics that were out enjoying the weekend)

The block of flats photographed is a curious case, underneath that all she looks like a ~1910 hull, now with diagonal skin up to what may be the original sheerline

It’s for ironing the morning paper, stops the ink staining the white Egyptian cotton sheets.

Thanks Don, she is a great boat and quite quick with a clean bum! Ironing out the odd issue as it comes along 🙂

George would have to be one of the luckiest young lads. Simply sharing a stunning weekend with Dad, boats and mates. A faint reminder of Swallows and Amazons. In years to come you’ll look back and remember these special times, George.

Lots of credit due the team who refurbished Lucinda.
Compared to what an eyesore she was of Devonport, she is now a treat to the eye.
Congrats guys and enjoy her.
