Eileen immediately dominated the Second Class yacht

racing on Otago Harbour but was very tricky to handle,

capsizing on numerous occasions. She had a foray

by train to the Lyttelton Regatta in 1904, gaining a

second in the handicap yacht race. Eileen went through

a succession of owners until she disappears from the

record in 1939.

WAITUNA

Boatbuilder Harry Beer of Riverton built WAITUNA, a

typical southern type of double-ended launch, for his

son, also Harry Beer, in July 1911. She was 32ft 6in

overall, 7ft 4in beam and drew 2ft 6in, built of kauri and

oregon, and powered by a 5hp Standard engine.

For passenger work she was open, as in this image

up the Pourakino River, but had hatches when fishing in

the rough waters of Foveaux Strait. Typically, she would

bring home two tons of blue cod for a couple of days’

fishing. She also carried the mail to Centre Island. BNZ
