CLASSIC SOUTHERN WOODEN LAUNCH – JOAN
Recently Jason Prew from the Slipway Milford has been wandering around the upper South Island on a 4×4 rally – being the good lad he is the camera was at hand to record any woodys he spotted.
Todays craft was seen moored in Waikawa, Picton, Marlborough and is named JOAN.
Lots of styles on display, but it kind of works for me.
Keen to learn more on JOAN
INPUT ex NATHAN HERBERT – Joan needs explaining, perhaps by Harold? Collings and Bell is obvious in her transom being typical of Ruamano, Paikea, Fleetwing etc. That eould seem to drag her build date 20 or so years back from what I’ve seen noted before(1940s 50s?). I would assume that her hull has been raised to a flare and the superstructure/coamings rebuilt at that stage? She doesn’t appear in old photos, perhaps she was reclusive or just not a ‘club boat’?
21-01-2025 – INPUT ex PHIL VINING – Around 20 years ago we had this vessel listed at Vining Shipbrokers Ltd and the
information supplied by the owner at the time is below.
CYA 3 Day Classic Spring Rally – Report
Not really sure if it warrants a report. Excuse the photos – my roving cub photographer needs some lessons 🙂
Sad to report only one vessel on the start line (late) – the organisers yacht. Well he had to turn up I suppose. At the published time a launch arrived from the direction of Waiheke but with not another vessel in sight – didn’t hang around.
Maybe after two years of ’thanks but no thanks’ interest – this event needs to be retired from the calendar.
I’m told there was an impressive gathering of jet ski’s out.
