MISTRAL
Motor sailer owned by Barney Bensky of Barnett Barnett major furniture retailers of the day, in Dominion Rd Mt Roskill, built late 1930s or early 40s. He had her in the later 1940s & 50s. She had a Graymarine 4 cyl petrol engine originally. Not sure of builder, or what has happened to her in recent years.
Ken Ricketts who took the photo is interested if someone could bring him up to date.

Neptune – designed & built 1956 by Fred Lidgard at Kawau Island. Her owner tells us he uses her more as a motor launch than a yacht, so here she is :-). The interior is quite special as well, we will cover that in the future.
