Justin spoke about his Z class yacht he has bought.
From Ken Fox Re z class yacht
The first yacht I owned was a Z class. This was built for me by my father in the early 1950s.At the time I was at school and delivered groceries after school with a bike with the small front wheel and large basket earning one pound two shillings and sixpence of which I gave dad the one pound. We lived in a state house and my parents had come through the depression so it was a real amateur job .As can be seen by the photos dad made a lean to which did not go down well with a neighbour. Dad had work at Beazley homes in Judea Tauranga so the boats timber was sourced through them the boat being called Kanapine Queen. I learned several years ago it went to whakatane.Dad is the adult in the photo note the hat which most men wore back then and my younger brother is in one photo. The planks were screwed to battens, the deck timber covered with cloth and red leaded and painted. The mast was hand planed out of oregan timber and varnished.
