WOODY SUMMER CRUISING TRIP REPORT #1 – 233’ CLASSIC MOTOR YACHT
The first report from the woody armada out cruising over the summer holidays is from Angus Rogers on his 42’ 1967 Bailey & Son built launch – CENTAURUS.
Angus was overnighting in Man ‘o’ War Bay, Waiheke Island and was sharing the anchorage with the 233’ majestic CLASSIC super yacht – HAIDA, built in 1929 (originally steam powered). Rumour has it these days owned by another billionaire from Hong Kong.
Also sharing the bay was Peter Loughlin’s 42’ 1927 Colin Wild build launch – LADY MARGARET, see below.

Good morning,
Can I politely say that Haida 1929 was never owned by Sir James Dyson.
The vessel Dyson owned when it was here in NZ back in 2013/14 was Nahlin, a vessel with a very colourful history indeed.
She also is powered by her original 2 x Krupp Mak 6L 40/67M diesels, the oldest float today.

Another claim to fame for Haida, albeit a little trivial…… and only according to what I read on another FB posting…… is that Haida was said to have featured in the ‘Mama Mia movie.
