Ranui @ Salthouse wharf 2014

Sailing Sunday – Ranui

Ranui was relaunched Monday 13th after a 3 month full hull refit at Salthouses. Owner Richard Allen had lots of nice things to say about the Salthouse yard, ” really performed and they are special , providing owners with use of their facilities and advice without charge and with a wealth of knowledge and practical advice gained over 60 years building many of the finest of  ‘Waitemata Woodies’ . All traditional boaties need to remember Salthouses yard, which of course has its own dock facilities, 2 slips and various moorings in Greenhithe. Of course if you want a high tech carbon racer they love doing those too.”
Ranui would be one of the best document vessels on ww so to view / read more – click here https://waitematawoodys.com/2014/09/21/sailing-sunday-ranui/

And as a bonus –  I have included some USA photos sent to me by Randell Colker of the boat he built & has just launched. Randell & his partner Shirley Estes visited NZ in 2012 & I secured them a spot crewing on Thelma in the CYA Classic Yacht Regatta. Randell said it was the highlight of their trip down under, so much so they are coming back in late Feb/March of 2015 & hope to catch the regatta again.
