YVALDA – MSA103085

Prolific model boat builder John Bullivant sent in the above photo of the motorsailer – Yvalda, seen here last week on her mooring at Lake Wakatipu, South Island. The photo was sent to John by a modelling friend who was visiting NZ for a wedding.

Wonderful to see Yvalda in such magnificent condition.    She was built in 1936 in Scotland by Mc Gruers – click the link below to read full details on how she got to NZ and Lake Wakatipu, don’t forget to read the comments section , lots of chat there.
