Soft cover. Zustand: Good. A good tidy copy with minor shelf wear. For over a century, the sport of yachting on Waitemata Harbour has been the pride of Auckland. For the first time, a broad selection of Winkelmann's classic marine images has been put together in a single volume. They range from the mid 1880s when the sport was in its infancy, through the heyday of Auckland's mullet boat yachting in the years just before the First World War, and end with images taken just before his retirement in the mid 1920s. Winkelmann's Waitemata provides a fascinating insight into the origins and history of early New Zealand yachting.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very clean copy. Since the 1880s yachts and launches from the yards and sheds of the Logan family have always stood out as shining examples of the designer's and builder's art. Contemporary reports would invariably describe these boats has having the Logan 'style' or 'finish', immediately marking them as something special. Their racing yachts became champions and their cruisers and launches performed well above their owners' expectations giving the Logan name a mystique and pedigree that is still highly valued today. While their boats have become well known through- out New Zealand, the people who created them, Robert Logan Sr, his sons John, James, Robert Jr, Arch and Willie, involved in various aspects of that consummate firm known as Logan Bros, and Arch's sons Jack and Doug, are largely unknown to us. Their aversion to publicity and self-promotion during their lifetimes was almost pathological and, instead, they let their boats speak for them. The Logan's is illustrated throughout with photographs and plans of their yachts and launches, and details of every known Logan vessel. With previously unpublished family photographs it also gives a rare insight into a complex family of Scottish origin, its brilliant individuals and into the times when they were turning out the very best yachts and launches in the Southern Hemisphere.
