[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Great article! Our vessels curator thinks the image of BONA also appears in Sydney Sails, it would be great to find the originals. Apparently the BONA in this article is the cutter BONA, as opposed to the schooner BONA (that later became BOOMERANG - confused yet?). The schooner BONA was built in Sydney and taken to Melbourne, while the cutter BONA was racing in Sydney from about 1899. Our yachting expert David thinks there must have been a time in the 1920s when both were in Sydney and the Alberts changed the name of their schooner to BOOMERANG. (The Alberts also had two BOOMERANGs, one a motor vessel & the other the schooner). Phew!

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Wonderful wonderful find, great shots of BONA & RAWHITI - but we were also taken with some of the other shots on the page. Look familiar?

Stay tuned for more!

This photo is likely to be from the 1926 Pittwater Regatta - PITTWATER CUP. The big yachts are to race for the Pittwater Cup; This handsome trophy has been presented by the treasurer, Mr. C. A. Le Maistre Walker, who is enjoying his first year of office. The course is 16 miles, and H. Nossiter's Utiekah II. is to be on the limit mark of 21min. N. L. II. Griffin's White Wings is oh 24, J. S. Palmer's Aoma 18 J, J. R. Palmer's Brand V.... H. J. Fitzpatrick's Bona 10, and Frank Albert's Rawhiti scr. Examining the handicaps, it certainlylooks as if the race is a gift for Rawhiti, as no penalty- has been imposed on the big green boat for her four recent wins. THE YACHTSMEN. (1926, December 24).

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] A very graceful looking vessel. I am sure there are many more images of RAWHITI in our collection yet to be discovered!
