Update: Classic Races Currently in Planning

It has become more official and planning has begun. The racing secretary at the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club in Wellington and I are pushing forward to put together a Classics Regatta this side of Christmas involving all the surrounding yacht clubs.

This is the first step in the right direction to increase awareness of these yachts and the important role they play in New Zealand maritime history furthering the cause to ensure they are not lost to neglect.

Simultaneously, Archives New Zealand contacted me yesterday requesting more information about Rogue, that they had heard by word of mouth that she was coming back up to Wellington to race once again, and that they were excited to see more interest in this aspect of New Zealand history take place. It's a good sign.
