    [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?

    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).

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Quasymody you're fantastic! So it IS the Pittwater Regatta! And check it out, I thought I recognised the image of women rowing that appears at the top of the newspaper article. Did you read the article about the Highland Society on the next page? Very nearly as interesting as the regatta ;)

    [http://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Haha another discovery while looking for something else, I expect Colonel Spain will turn up right when you don't expect him too ;) All the images in the article you found appear to be Hall ones, the others I haven't put on Flickr yet but they are now linked to the article in our records. A most productive find by Quasymody!
