Reference: PA1-o-1323
Description: Named sailboats belonging to the group of young men which included Kenneth Hoddinott.

Group holidays taken over the Christmas breaks for 1945/46, and 1946/47 are recorded. The first shows the group with a line up of five cars on a country roadside. The journey took them to Taranaki, Wairakei, and Wakarewarewa. Along the way one of the cars left the road and ended up down a bank, half hidden in bush. The second trip was to Northland via the East Coast. They visited the Karipiro hydro project and Lake Waikaremoana on the way. The sequence shows camps, tents, people taking meals in the open, a puctured car tyre being changed, and a trip on a mail launch. Other groups of photographs show people at a 21st birthday party, and two group portraits of a motorcycle club, and, later, the members in action on their machines. Quantity: 1 album(s) Album(s).
