This classic Idle-Along was built in 1938. Imagine that! War breaks out half a world away in Europe just as your adding the finishing coats of varnish to your new pride and joy. You must ask yourself the question. Shall I sign up now and help defend King and country or should I spend the season sailing the South Islands many beautiful lakes. Ummm... decisions decisions.
The Yacht Club at Lake Mahinapua. Is that a beautiful location or what?
and another from Dave Johnstone who sent these pics. What a fantastic spot. The yacht doesn't look to bad either. Apparently a design by Mathews...Cheers for the great photos Dave. I think we should all try to make our way there next year. The West coast of the South Island has to be seen to be believed...
In the North Island now and here we see Peter King sailing off Plimmerton in his tidy looking Houdini Yawl, Narimwi. If you are looking for a serious cruising dinghy you would be hard pressed to find one better...
