In todays world its rare to come across a set of records like this, the original 1955 invoices for the build & fit out of Zach Matich’s Kaipara based launch Margurita. I’m sure it was a lot of money back then but looking back now the prices, particularly the fittings, seem less than what you would pay in a model shop today. Fascinating reading, thanks Zach for sharing these & the launch day photos.

Two of my favorite boat food photos, sent to me by CYA member Zach who is based on the Kaipara Harbour. Simple kiwi seafood, the BBQ’ed mussels are to die for & I can almost smell the hot smoked fish & mussels.
