Yesterday was day three and race 4 of the annual classic yacht regatta in Auckland.

Photos of the A class Gaffers all built between 1894 and 1908 racing. taken from the old lady of the fleet the 1894 built Waitangi.

58ft on deck 74ft from bowsprit end to boom end. 1200sq ft main on a 43ft boom. No winches!

The racing is competitive as the clutter at the start photos show.

Moderators can you please fix.

Thanks
