CORINTHIA – A Peek Down Below

The launch Corinthia was built / launched in 1967 at the Shipbuilders yard in Auckland. She has made several cameo appearances on WW, link below to a 2013 story that showed her alongside the jetty at Arran Bay, Waiheke Island. It appears that the exterior has not changed much but now today thanks to a heads up from Ian McDonald re a tme listing we get to have a peek down below.

Corinthia is 45’ in length , has a beam of 14’ and draws approx. 5’. Forward motion is via a 180hp Detroit 671 that gives her a top speed of 12 knots. FEB 2015 WW LINK  https://waitematawoodys.com/corinthia-new-arran-bay-wharf/

HAPPY FATHERS DAY
photo ex Roger Guthrie
Before my time but I’m sure a lot of you will remember the walkway from Arran Bay to Cowes Bay on Waiheke Island. Imagine applying for resource consent now days to build that 🙂

In the photo everyone is a Guthrie & given today is Fathers Day it seemed a perfect photo for the day.
The varnished dinghy was sporting a new Seagull outboard, thence the cover. This dinghy was like a piece of furniture & was also a sailing dinghy. The other one was just a dinghy for the kids and rough work.

As youngsters Roger & family spent many hours on the walkway catching Paketi and at low tide turning the rocks to see the crabs run.

The size above & web just do not do justice to this photo, given when it was taken the person with the camera was very talented.
