Boatworks: October 2006
http://boatworks.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
News and opinion for NZ sailors and boating aficionados. Tuesday, October 17, 2006. Fleetwing - a bit more floating history. Later she passed to my great uncle, Rex Tosswill, who, I believe, had the dodger added by Poppa Jorgensen at Jorgensens Boatyard in Waikawa Bay. I have never seen a photo of her in her original state but I believe she is the boat that was a NZ water speed record holder for a time. I also believe she held the Masport Cup. With thanks to Harold Kidd for this information).

Boatworks: May 2007
http://boatworks.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
News and opinion for NZ sailors and boating aficionados. Saturday, May 26, 2007. Well we're not getting too carried away but things are getting to the really crunchy part! There's a lot being said about the merits of ETNZ and LR before the LV Finals. Guess we'll wait and see. This shot, when viewed full size, shows the layout of the ETNZ boat pretty well - including the angled wheels. See the original at http:/ 2.bp.blogspot.com/ U6Cp5x-Sbr8/RlS4ct.-h/DSC 3948.JPG.

News and opinion for NZ sailors and boating aficionados. Thursday, December 28, 2006. Fleetwing - new photos. I located some early shots of Fleetwing:. These shots will most likely have have been taken at Wharehunga on Arawapa Island, perhapos in the late 1940's or early 1950's. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Promote Your Page Too.

Boatworks: Fleet addition - Platu 25
http://boatworks.blogspot.com/2009/02/fleet-addition-platu-25.html
News and opinion for NZ sailors and boating aficionados. Friday, February 27, 2009. Fleet addition - Platu 25. The new boats arrived in late 2008 and are now competing regularly at RAYC and elsewhere around Auckland. After a few sails it's apparent they're a tweaky machine with plenty for the crew to think about. Ours is the 06, BoatSpray. Yeah, not a real Sportsboat but fun to sail. Hike, hike hike harder for the crew. I never liked the low spipole but than, I never worked the foredeck. NZ Young 88 Assn.
