- 1993 a last race in Auckland on REVS (the Ross 1066); 1995 a last stand on the hull that was the growing REVS that we all know here in Wellington (the Ross 12 version.) Two little boys, and a 9 year gap until one day in early 2002 a 1966 Wagstaff skiff Moth was donated [...]

- Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)

Rum Racing: Dave Hastings
- Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)
- 25 Years of Rum Racing – Congratulations RPNYC! By my reckoning that’s around 450 bottles of rum so a big shout out to all those sponsors over the years too. While it may not be the classiest series in the racing calendar, for plenty of skippers and their crews it’s right up there as an [...]
