CLASSIC WOODYS IN COWES BAY WAIHEKE ISLAND

Todays photo captures times of old when power and sail played together.  The location is the idlic Cowes Bay at the bottom end of Waiheke Island. The bay was a common destination for picnics and regattas. Todays view looks less organised and just shows people enjoying the day.

The photo is from the Ian Farquhar Collection and the photographer is S H Rawson , dated c.1900-1916. And comes to us via Lew Redwood fb.

Can any of the sailing woodys ID the design of the yacht in the forefront of the photo.

And happy mother days – we wouldn’t be here without them 🙂
