SPINDRIFT
One of my ’spotters’, Dean Wright, in the north sent in on Wednesday night the above photo of Spindrift. Dean commented that Spindrift was a newbie to him and myself also.
The photo shows her coming up the Kerikeri Inlet (Doves Bay).
Can anyone enlighten us on Spindrift, there is an interesting mix of styles going on, but overall she looks very salty.
UPCOMING WOODY EVENTS

Regarding Parma, the rumour is that the engine may be okay and that hull repairs are also not that substantial.
