I think this might be the Saturday 31 December 1921 Pittwater Regatta. NAMOI was the flagship Read All About It - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/15982485 Tentatively, the President and Commodore was Mr F. J. S. Young (on the right), and Mr John Roche, the Honourable Secretary (left). Possibly the fellow in the middle is Mr John Williams, Vice Commodore, but he is not wearing his ribbon! Or is it the Lord Mayor Elect ??!

beachcomber australia There is a (slightly blurry) image of John Roche in the February 1927 'Australian Motor Boating and Yachting Monthly', page 23. I think you have stumbled on to the right man - he is quite distinctly tall and thin.

beachcomber australia Beachcomber you are clever! Check it out, a pic of Mr F. J. S. Young - unmistakeably our man on the right - in 'Australian Motor Boating & Yachting Monthly', June 1926 page 17

Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons Admiring your choice of light reading (!), and the clever reader thingy on your site. What other publications are there?
Australian National Maritime Museum on The Commons said:
beachcomber australia Ah that would be our library's digital collection! You can find magazines, books and registers of shipping, (Plus we are hoping this will grow in the near future to include other titles). Here's the link if you want to have a play!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] My gosh! Thanks Quasymody, I had seen that image but not looked at it closely enough to realise they were so similar. Everyone is sitting in the same spots (but back to front) and in slightly different poses. It has to be the same day! The photos in this batch are slowly being digitised, I'll bet the other images in the article will pop up in our collection too. Thanks again :)

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Haha Quasymody you just made our day with that find! It is definately the indomitable David Carment and we are sending the image to Mr Carment's great-grandson for his own records :)
