REVOCET – Sailing Sunday
Another classic from my travels down south & mooching around the Queen Charlotte Sounds, I spotted Revocet berthed at the Waikawa Bay Marina.
A very smartly presented yacht – can anyone tells as about her ? I’m assuming she is wood 🙂
A Question From Mike Forth Relating to the Photo Below
“I have been emptying my father’s house and in the loft came across my grandfather’s photographic gear 1900- 1920’s, along with a number of glass slides and some framed photos.
One was of a regatta, which I am guessing would have been in the Solent or perhaps the Thames estuary. There was no description on the photo or frame and I would like to add one – for posterity.
I tried to identify the yachts using images online, and the closest I came was some 1925 yachts, however the line of the bow did not match. I would be delighted if your readers could shed some light.”

What a gorgeous looking yacht – This must be one of the best kept yachts in NZ, everything looks in concourse condition – the owner must work on keeping it like this full time – thanks for sharing

I have a feeling she was a cotton blossom, and was in Auckland visiting briefly with previous owners, she was then named Revery…..
