<strong>Classic</strong> Yacht Association of New Zealand Inc.<br />
Welcome to the updated <strong>Classic</strong> Yacht Association <strong>Register</strong> of vessels. The <strong>Register</strong><br />
has a lengthy shelf life and is a key reference at home and on board many vessels. It does<br />
represent a lot of work though and thanks are due to everyone who helped get this edition<br />
ready for print, especially Nathan Herbert and Steve Horsley (both of whom managed<br />
to re-launch their respective boats during the exercise) and to the team, Michelle Khan,<br />
Joyce Talbot and Tony Stevenson for all the work in completing this year’s edition.<br />
The committee encourage you to use the register as a means of introduction when on<br />
the water, to extend the camaraderie. If you see us out there with the burgee up, it would<br />
be rude if you didn’t row over!<br />
While few are prepared for the responsibility or the hard work and expense of classic<br />
boat ownership, there are many who wish to see them on the harbour and a greater<br />
number still who would wish them to be restored and maintained for future generations<br />
(such a pity that the “future generations” are not so helpful with the varnish brush!).<br />
They are not just old boats, they are our maritime legacy. This publication outlines part<br />
of the heritage for all New Zealanders.<br />
While we will all have our own views and preferences the <strong>CYA</strong> exists to celebrate<br />
what we have in common, yet at the same time, we need to be thankful that we each<br />
have differing views. After all beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So be prepared to be<br />
dazzeled by the breadth of beauty within these pages–enjoy.<br />

A Short history of the<br />
<strong>Classic</strong> Yacht Association of<br />
New Zealand Inc.<br />
Who would have thought back in<br />
the early 1990’s that the <strong>Classic</strong><br />
Yacht Association of New Zealand<br />
would be the organisation it is today? Back then,<br />
the ‘old clunkers’ were changing hands for very<br />
little money. The friends of the wannabe owners<br />
looked at them as if they had lost their marbles<br />
and were busily counselling them to enjoy<br />
recreational sailing on some other vessel, any<br />
vessel other than a tired old yacht.<br />
Fortunately, the passion for these old boats was<br />
overwhelming. The restoration of Ariki in the late<br />
1970s and of Tawera in the late 1980’s had been very<br />
singular events. The new blood of Hamish Ross,<br />
who had bought Little Jim in 1994, Greg Scopas,<br />
the new owner of Ngataringa and John Gorter,<br />
the owner of the little C-Class Thelma since 1987,<br />
was mixed with that of Chad Thompson, who had<br />
enjoyed a lifetime of sailing on Prize.<br />
The group was spurred on by Ron Copland,<br />
the then Commodore of the Ponsonby Cruising<br />
Club and owner of Nomad, a beautifully restored<br />
6<br />
26’ mullet boat.<br />
The classics had dropped off the racing scene<br />
after the change in rules governing the size of<br />
spinnakers in the mid-1970s, and the older owners<br />
of the pre WWII keelers were getting to the stage<br />
in life where racing was just a bit too hard. There<br />
were also these modern light displacement keelers<br />
making the racing a little one-sided.<br />
When John Gorter bought Thelma in 1987, he<br />
wanted to convert her back to a gaff rig. Hamish<br />
Ross wanting some serious racing with Little Jim,<br />
Ngataringa and Prize represented some reasonable<br />
competition, as did the other old keelers. If only<br />
a programme of racing could be put together that<br />
the classics could participate in without being<br />
knocked around by the modern yachts. Old heavy<br />
displacement yachts with long keels and, in some<br />
cases, no winches, do not race around the harbour<br />
in the same way as the newer fin-keeler confections.<br />
The first meeting of these like-minded skippers<br />
was in the workshop of the NZ National Maritime<br />
Museum where they along with a number of Greg
Scopas’ friends, had gathered to review the work in<br />
progress on the restoration of Ngataringa in January<br />
1995. The remainder of that season saw more of<br />
the classics get together in ever increasing numbers.<br />
Word was spreading amongst the owners of old<br />
yachts and, after a late season meeting in the saloon<br />
of Prize, a meeting was called for 8th May 1995 at<br />
the Ponsonby Cruising Club.<br />
required, the association moved to the Royal New<br />
Zealand Yacht Squadron as the club had been<br />
the traditional home of classic keelers up until<br />
the late 1970s. In 2005 the 3-day <strong>Classic</strong> Yacht<br />
Regatta based in the Viaduct Harbour became an<br />
annual event attracting crews from far and wide<br />
and remains a highlight on the association event<br />
calendar today.<br />
Twenty-three owners of old yachts gathered<br />
that night and within a very short time there were<br />
50 expressions of interest in participating in an<br />
association.<br />
By October 1995, an event programme had<br />
been established for the 1995/1996 season and<br />
the number of members was growing weekly.<br />
Initially, most of the active yachts were the<br />
racing keelers, although an increasing number<br />
of cruising yachts were showing interest in<br />
participating. It was also great to see the number<br />
of early owners and their crews taking up<br />
subscriptions in the association in order to keep<br />
abreast of news of their old rivals and the progress<br />
of the ever-increasing number of restorations<br />
Many of these boats still race today and grace<br />
the pages of this publication and thankfully<br />
there have been many owners and crews with the<br />
passion, time and money to restore their boats to<br />
their former glory.<br />
The fifth anniversary of the Association was<br />
focused around the first defence of the America’s<br />
Cup in February 2000. The Logan Cup (12th<br />
– 14th February 2000) was a huge success with<br />
more than 70 competitors. After the loss of a<br />
major sponsor and much needed financial support<br />
It has been well recognised that it was<br />
necessary to expand the events programme to<br />
entice the launch owners who were following<br />
the racing yachts to many of the Hauraki Gulf<br />
destinations. Today there is a strong programme<br />
of activities for launches as well as the sailing<br />
yachts, often with owners and crews of both<br />
taking part in the others events, such is the<br />
camaraderie of the members.<br />
The association has gone from strength to<br />
strength thanks to the founders, many committee<br />
members and members willing to give their<br />
time to the association. To ensure all classic<br />
boat owners have the opportunity to enjoy the<br />
company of each other and the Corinthian<br />
yachting, staying true to the old values of the<br />
association. The interest in classic yachting in<br />
New Zealand is ever-increasing and what the<br />
association has to offer its members is broadening<br />
all the time.<br />

<strong>Classic</strong> boating<br />
with a young family.<br />
I see the appeal of a five metre tinny sitting<br />
in the driveway. A squirt with the hose and<br />
an annual engine service is about all the<br />
maintenance they need. The mooring fees,<br />
well, there are none. You can fish, dive and tow<br />
screaming kids in mindless circles until one of<br />
them turns inside out. With demands on the<br />
modern worker’s time being so great, it’s a good<br />
explanation for the surge in small boat ownership<br />
and the erosion of the classic large boat market.<br />
Never has there been a better time to buy a New<br />
Zealand built timber yacht or launch.<br />
Working a corporate job locked in an office<br />
saw me craving something more hands on<br />
where the pride in ownership and the active<br />
maintenance is as much a source of enjoyment<br />
as the actual use of the vessel. My boat Jonquil,<br />
came about in the blissfully unaware newlywed<br />
years with two incomes and no kids. The head<br />
28<br />
count has now doubled and the income streams<br />
halved, it would be far too easy to simply whack<br />
the boat on the market and fade into the oblivion<br />
of nappy valley.<br />
Jonquil is a 32’ Herreshoff yacht designed<br />
in 1914 for use in the waters of Buzzards Bay,<br />
Massachusetts. Her amenities are few. During an<br />
Easter cruise I made a small list of conveniences<br />
that would deem life on board with children<br />
more manageable. First was running water,<br />
second was a toilet and third was sun protection<br />
to make use of Jonquils good sized cockpit. This<br />
and a leaking centreboard case triggered a major<br />
winter refit. Most of the work was completed<br />
by myself, with generous assistance from family<br />
and friends. I questioned my sanity when at the<br />
peak of exhaustion I discovered myself hand<br />
sanding by headlamp at 11:00pm with my day job<br />
looming only a few short hours away.

The trick to keeping your passion alive is to make<br />
it an all-inclusive affair. For me this means less of<br />
the classic race circuit and more picnics to McKenzie<br />
Bay or overnight pirate adventures to Waiheke.<br />
Destinations needn’t be far flung, to a 3 year old boy<br />
there is little difference between Issy Bay and the Bay<br />
Of Islands.<br />
As for the maintenance; once the dust settles, the<br />
brushes harden and your pride and joy floats happily at her<br />
berth you realise it was all worthwhile. I encourage young<br />
families to turn their backs on the Auckland housing<br />
market and snap up a true bargain that will provide many<br />
days of family enjoyment while teaching kids skills and<br />
values that will shape them into great adults.<br />

RIVERHEAD<br />
A couple of times a year the <strong>CYA</strong> heads ‘inland’<br />
up to The Riverhead, NZ’s oldest riverside tavern.<br />
Members arrive by Launch, yacht, open day boat,<br />
speedboat and car to experience a great lunch,<br />
brunch or casual afternoon meal. Located at the<br />
top of the Rangitopuni creek, there is plenty of<br />
depth for our vessels to travel up in single-file and<br />
anchor around the pontoon at the bottom of The<br />
Riverhead’s steps. A highly valued and constant<br />
presence at these events has been the Tino Rawa<br />
Charitable Trust with their big inflatable the<br />
Whistleblower acting as a free taxi from boat to<br />
wharf. It’s all part of the camaraderie of the <strong>CYA</strong>.<br />

PATIO BAY<br />
Held in early December the annual Patio Bay<br />
Mark Foy race to Waiheke is our first big event of<br />
the season, and for many members the highlight.<br />
Each year our kind hosts Bert and Margaret<br />
Woolcott open up their property to the <strong>CYA</strong><br />
for a great BYO BBQ and race prize giving with<br />
dinghies lining the shoreline until late.<br />
While the yachts enjoy a great sail down from<br />
Auckland, the amount of classic launches gathered<br />
in one place is an impressive sight!<br />

MAHURANGI<br />
Organised by the Mahurangi Cruising Club,<br />
the Mahurangi Regatta is a highlight of the <strong>CYA</strong><br />
calendar, with many clubs holding races to or from<br />
the event each year and is always a great success.<br />
There are many magic things about classic boats;<br />
one of them is their ability to attract great weather.<br />
The 2016 event was no exception with sunny<br />
skies and a huge turnout of classic launches and<br />
yachts filling the harbour, first at Sullivan’s Bay for<br />
daytime activities then for the famous shore party<br />
at Scott’s Landing.<br />
If you haven’t yet made the trip, be sure to next time!<br />

<strong>CYA</strong> REGATTA<br />
The 3-day annual <strong>Classic</strong> Yacht Association<br />
regatta is the premier sailing event on the <strong>CYA</strong><br />
events calendar. The original <strong>Classic</strong> yacht regatta<br />
was held in 2000 called the Logan Cup. It became<br />
an annual event in 2005 and until 2015, it was<br />
based in the Viaduct Harbour area with racing<br />
taking place in the magnificent Hauraki Gulf.<br />
In 2016 the regatta moved it’s race headquarters to<br />
the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. The fleet<br />
continues to grow with up to 75 yachts competing<br />
within seven divisions over four races.<br />

HERITAGE EXHIBITION<br />
By Ivor Wilkins<br />
Excitement is building in the mullet boat<br />
fleet at the approach of the Lipton Cup<br />
centenary, a milestone that will fairly<br />
neatly dovetail with a heritage stretching back a<br />
century-and-a-half.<br />
Tamariki, the most successful Lipton Cupper of<br />
all-time with 13 victories between 1935 and 1968,<br />
is undergoing a complete restoration with a view<br />
to being on the startline for the 100th birthday.<br />
Tamariki<br />
Designed by Chas Collings, Tamariki is now owned<br />
by boatbuilders Martin Robertson and Rob Warring.<br />
Graham Andrew, Rear Commodore of<br />
Ponsonby Cruising Club, says planning is about<br />
to be stepped up for celebrating the big occasion<br />
in 2022. He hopes that, with a number of<br />
refurbishments under way, 15 or 16 mulleties<br />
will compete for the trophy. Perhaps a surprise<br />
resurrection or two from some forgotten garage<br />
project could even take the number close to 20.<br />
“That would be fantastic.”<br />
The Lipton Cup looms large in the mullet<br />
boat’s transition from a working fishing vessel to a<br />
powerful harbour racer. The seeds of competition<br />
were always present, as evidenced in the<br />
extraordinary spread of sail as the fishermen sped<br />
back to sell their catch at the markets.<br />
38<br />
The precarious nature of the ‘mulleties’, which<br />
could be driven under by the power of their rigs,<br />
combined with a reputation for wild partying by<br />
the men who sailed them gave rise to their ‘antiestablishment’<br />
stereotyping. The ‘bogan V8s of the<br />
harbour’ is how Tony Stevenson referred to them<br />
at a recent exhibition celebrating the mullet boat<br />
heritage. Long-time mullet exponent Gary Murie<br />
proudly asserted the mullet’s ‘maverick’ status.<br />
The exhibition was staged by the<br />
Tino Rawa Trust in association with<br />
Panuku Development Auckland,<br />
Ponsonby Cruising Club and the<br />
<strong>Classic</strong> Yacht Association as part of<br />
a series of <strong>Classic</strong> Yacht and Launch<br />
Exhibitions held during Auckland<br />
Heritage Festival. Previous exhibitions<br />
celebrated designers like Des Townson,<br />
Jim Young, Jack Brooke, Bob Stewart<br />
and Col Wild.<br />
As mullet stocks declined towards<br />
the end of the 19th century and into<br />
the early 20th century, the grunty little<br />
centreboard fishing smacks became<br />
popular harbour racers, attracting a<br />
huge following and vigorous betting. It took five<br />
or six crew, often fueled by prodigious quantities<br />
of beer, to manhandle the boats around the race<br />
track. Heroic after-match functions were equally<br />
demanding.<br />
In 1922, Scottish tea-baron Sir Thomas Lipton of<br />
America’s Cup fame, donated a trophy to Ponsonby<br />
Cruising Club as ‘a challenge cup for annual<br />
competition’. The club had shrewdly appointed<br />
Sir Thomas as its Vice President in 1904 and, on<br />
receiving the magnificent trophy, decided it would<br />
be allocated to the popular 22ft mullet boat class.<br />
Ever since, the mullet legend has continued to<br />
grow and the Tino Rawa Trust exhibition provided<br />
a great opportunity for stalwarts young and old to<br />
gather and swap yarns.<br />
Long-time mullet boat exponent Ron Copeland,
for example, recalled racing on Controversy when<br />
they got hit by a 40-knot squall. “I was sitting on<br />
the boom and there were three cops on the tiller. We<br />
went into a Chinese gybe and lay flat on the water,<br />
with the 800sq ft spinnaker holding us down.<br />
“One of the crew couldn’t swim and nearly<br />
drowned. The boat began to sink and we managed<br />
to get a launch to tow us towards the Tamaki Yacht<br />
Club.” Ron swam a line ashore and then burst into<br />
the club rooms, where a wedding was in process.<br />
The nuptials were abandoned as Ron herded the<br />
guests outside to help haul the boat ashore.<br />
“Just as we were finishing up, an E-Type Jag<br />
pulled up and the driver handed out a bottle of<br />
rum to warm us up. He said he knew what mullet<br />
boat sailing was all about because he used to sail<br />
one of the ‘sons of bitches’.”<br />
Despite affectionate typecasting in somewhat<br />
renegade terms, the venerable mullet boat has a<br />
distinguished place in New Zealand’s maritime<br />
history. It has inspired many leading designers and<br />
served as a breeding ground for some of its best<br />
sailors. The 100th anniversary of the Lipton Cup<br />
will indeed be an occasion for celebration.<br />

THE RESTORATION OF<br />
CORONA<br />
By Harold Kidd<br />
CORONA is considered one of the best<br />
26ft (7.93m) mullet boat ever built.<br />
Designed by Charles Collings and built<br />
by his firm Collings & Bell, she was launched in<br />
October 1936 for the Nunn brothers.<br />
Corona was a powerful sail carrier. On her 10ft<br />
6in (3.2m) beam she carried 900ft² (274.3m2) in<br />
her gaff cutter rig. Her mast was a towering 40ft<br />
(12.2m), and she had<br />
a 30ft (9.1m) boom, a<br />
19ft (5.8m) gaff and a<br />
15ft (4.6m) bowsprit.<br />
From bowsprit to end<br />
of boom she measured<br />
45ft 6in (13.9m).<br />
Two and a half<br />
tonnes of lead ballast<br />
kept her reasonably<br />
stiff, standing in for<br />
the load of fish her<br />
ancestors would have<br />
brought home to<br />
market.<br />
She was in a class<br />
of her own from the<br />
start and remained<br />
scratch boat in the<br />
fleet during the<br />
18 years the Nunn<br />
brothers owned her.<br />
Fast-forward 30 years,<br />
and Corona, now a tired old fishing launch was sold<br />
to a group of three Ponsonby Cruising Club mullet<br />
boat enthusiasts – Ron Copeland, Lee Chambers<br />
and John Hogan – who persuaded the National<br />
Maritime Museum at Hobson Wharf in Auckland<br />
to restore her.<br />
In 2009, with the blessing and active support of<br />
Ron Copeland and Lee Chambers, the<br />
New Zealand Traditional Boatbuilding School at<br />
Hobsonville negotiated with the museum to take<br />
over Corona and complete her restoration. School<br />
trustees Robert Brooke and Ian McRobie put in a<br />
great deal of research to ensure that Corona took<br />
to the water again as a faithful recreation of her<br />
original self. Collings original hull drawings were<br />
checked to ensure the outlines of her cabin top<br />
and other details were<br />
in complete accord<br />
with contemporary<br />
photographs.<br />
Ian McRobie<br />
gathered a team of core<br />
volunteers around him<br />
notably Morrie Ogden<br />
and Ian Stephenson.<br />
The School obtained<br />
generous funding and<br />
contributions of work<br />
and materials from the<br />
trade, but the team of<br />
volunteers were the key.<br />
Corona was relaunched<br />
on the top of<br />
the tide in early March<br />
from the old RNZAF<br />
flying-boat slip at<br />
Hobsonville. In brilliant<br />
sunshine with a light<br />
breeze, and as a large<br />
crowd watched, Corona sailed like a witch in the<br />
light breeze and got up to seven knots.<br />
Nowadays Corona can be seen at Auckland’s<br />
Viaduct alongside Jessie Logan, Wairiki and a clutch<br />
of other fine classics sponsored by the Tino Rawa<br />
Trust. Her skipper Richard Allen continues to ensure<br />
that she is maintained in excellent condition and<br />
enthusiastically raced on the harbour.

Manukau Yacht and Motor Boat Club<br />
LUCINDA<br />
Roger Hamilton<br />
While painting a friend’s yacht at Devonport,<br />
I was being watched by a small, run-down<br />
bridgedecker on a distant mooring. Months went by<br />
wondering what her story was until Alan Houghton<br />
tracked down the owner’s name for me. A few<br />
Facebook messages to Melbourne, a trip aboard with<br />
a large bilge pump and Lucinda was mine.<br />
What a mess. What a complete mess. With<br />
sledgehammer and pry bar in hand I removed her<br />
interior, including engine beds, bulkheads and some<br />
sawn frames. A whole winter of heat-gun paint<br />
stripping inside on cold weeknights followed, then<br />
the construction phase began with the help of my<br />
father, a skilled builder. I have never heard him curse<br />
as much as in Lucinda every time he discovered<br />
something about the boat that had been built to look<br />
square/level/even in fact was not! I scrounged timber<br />
from old furniture, rebuilt mechanical parts myself<br />
and made a little go a long way.<br />
After 127 weeks of hard work outside of hours,<br />
Lucinda was launched on 27 August 2016. What<br />
an experience it has been; meeting people, learning<br />
42<br />
skills and breaking things became my weekend<br />
routine for that whole time!<br />
She was built in 1930 at Onehunga by L. C.<br />
Coulthard as a 27ft hard chine tram-topper for Jack<br />
Griffin with a big cockpit great for day use. These<br />
days Lucinda sports an open plan bridge deck cabin<br />
with large glass area great for ‘Gulf cruising which<br />
suits me perfectly.<br />
I hope stories like these will inspire others to<br />
look past the swooping sheers and glistening varnish<br />
of the more glamourous boats, and take it upon<br />
themselves to see the affordable and enjoyable<br />
opportunity which small sometimes unusual vessels<br />
like Lucinda can offer.<br />

INNISMARA<br />
In October 2014 the classic yachting fleet saw the<br />
return of the magnificent Bernie Schmidt built, 67ft<br />
racer Innismara, aka ‘war canoe’. Also known as ‘the<br />
pencil’ she has been restored by Blanche & Ian Cook<br />
along with the team at Yachting Developments.<br />
Prior to coming into the hands of the Cooks,<br />
Innismara was in very poor shape, suffering from<br />
long term shed storage and fire damage to her<br />
forward sections. Her keel was also missing, but<br />
her history was still there and she was destined to<br />
return as a race winner on the Waitemata.<br />
Once again the Cooks have returned one of our<br />
classic fleet to better than new condition. Blanche<br />
and Ian also own the 1938 yacht Ranger, a fine<br />
stablemate for Innismara and Erewhon: the next in<br />
line for restoration.<br />
