Lizzie has come home
- Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)
- Just over one hundred years after she was built, in almost the same spot, Lizzie has returned home. On a lovely Wellington afternoon and with a spring tide sailing academy manager Matthew Wood joined Gavin Pascoe and his team of Lizzie supporters to tow her around to Clyde Quay Boat Harbour from Evans Bay. With a few strategic hits of a hammer the slipway jumped back into action and before you knew it Lizzie was back in her birth place. Gavin and his team will now begin restoring her back to her former glory and we look forward to her flying the club burgee and sailing again on the Harbour.

Lizzie almost back home
- Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club (Inc)
- Lizzie has arrived! Thanks to many generous donations, she was trucked down from Auckland yesterday and is now on the hard at Evans Bay, stirring up a great deal of interest. Before long, she will be sitting on the slipway at Clyde Quay for her restoration, no more than 20 feet away from where she was built 101 years ago.
