DIGITISING OUR MARITIME HERITAGE Buried deep within the Viaduct Harbour’s New Zealand Maritime Museum is a team of photography specialists digitising the facility’s formidable archive – a multi-year project aimed at bringing the collection into the modern era.

But when researchers, writers and historians Records team members also enter a range of descriptors contact the facility looking for material – finding it can take a while. A compounding issue is preservation. Even though the collection’s stored in a relatively well-controlled environment, the march of decay is relentless and irreversible. Enter digitisation – the logical fix for both issues. “The Digitisation Project began two years ago,” says Heidi Schlumpf, manager of the six-person team responsible for what | subscribe | www.boatingnz.co.nz/subscribe/ Boating New Zealand 105

like classification and subject keywords, so that the item is quickly and easily located when these are entered into Vernon’s search engine. As Schlumpf points out, digitising the material would be useless without contextual information, and says there are plenty of institutions around the world facing this precise problem. “We all need to ensure ‘findability’ – otherwise the images would be floating in digital space!” The Vernon database is not accessible to the public – it’s an internal tool. The public can only access the digitised records via requests to the museum. But in April last year the museum launched a Collections Online portal on its website. This web-based software is also a Vernon product, so the internal and online systems work seamlessly together. “As an example of the ease of access this creates, we recently published records from our collection of classic ...in April last year the museum launched a Collections Online portal on its website outboard engines. It generated enormous interest and comment (even internationally) about the history and provenance of the marques and how the different models developed. It all added to our knowledge base.” Most of the material is photographed (in high-resolution) because the cameras are much faster than the fairly pedestrian pace of a flat-bed scanner. Transparencies (colour negatives) however, have to be scanned. “We can’t use a camera because the museum is built on a piled wharf, and even though the camera is mounted, the entire building moves and compromises the image sharpness.” While the Digitisation Project will enhance the museum’s ability to meet the enquiries it receives, preservation of the collection is also a crucial factor. “Many of the items are fragile,” says Schlumpf, “and frequent handling could damage them. Some require gloves – to minimise transferring potentially harmful natural oils from our fingers onto the artefacts. But preservation also means ‘prioritising’ the digitising process, for various considerations like stakeholder interests and research enquiries but also due to the condition of the objects – we’re very conscious of the need to select the most vulnerable items first.” A GROWING COLLECTION Much of the archive has been gifted or donated to the museum – and it’s an ongoing process. “A lot comes from deceased estates – but also from companies and organisations which understand that the historical material must be recorded and preserved to maintain New Zealand’s maritime heritage.

REFLECTIONS with JOHN MACFARLANE THE TIM BARNETT STORY Breaking new ground Tim Barnett’s one of New Zealand’s more versatile yacht designers. Since graduating as a naval architect in 1978, his design portfolio has included racing and cruising yachts, launches, jet boats, workboats, rescue craft, high-speed Customs vessels and modern classics. Here’s his story. Born in 1956 and growing up in Waiau, a small The 13m Bluff farming community in North Canterbury, Coastguard boat, Barnett was attracted to boats from an early age. designed for extreme Interestingly, one of his fellow Waiau School conditions. students was Scott Robson – “We spent many hours at Waiau drawing boats.” After leaving Christ’s College, Barnett spent a year doing an NZEC in Christchurch before joining CWF Hamilton Jets as a potential R&D trainee. Management was sufficiently impressed by his potential that they enrolled him with the Yacht Design Institute in Maine, East Coast, USA. Barnett spent a couple of years doing a Diploma of Yacht Design by correspondence before relocating to the USA for his final two years. After graduating in 1978, Barnett intended to return to CWF Hamilton. However, Rob Muldoon implemented his infamous 20% Boat Tax the following year, decimating CWF Hamilton’s business overnight. CWF Hamilton suggested that Barnett 110 Boating New Zealand

Only then could I start to build those two boats.” “You get to know people, and pretty soon, I had some commissions for lightweight racing yachts.” Incidentally, Barnett’s choice of Blenheim as a location wasn’t as random as one might think. The town’s large enough One thing led to another, and in 1983 Barnett received two to support a decent workforce, yet small enough to avoid significant design and build commissions: one for a 15.8m time-consuming commuting. Additionally, it was home to ultralight racing yacht, the other for a 14.3m cruising yacht.

Inevitable staff turnover meant the town had a pool of to move to New Zealand and build both boats in Blenheim. experienced fibreglass workers for Barnett to access.

Combined with the latest GRP engineering products imported through his Seattle and USA contacts, he produced cutting-edge boats. Barnett was fortunate to find two experienced pattern makers – a dying art back then – and bring them into his company to help with the moulds and interior fit-outs. | subscribe | www.boatingnz.co.nz/subscribe/ Boating New Zealand 111

Barnett delivered both boats on time, and both proved successful. The racing yacht, Climax, won her class in the 1985 TransPac and dominated her class for several years. One of her crew later commissioned Barnett to design a 17.6m fast cruiser, which became Kyrnos – “one of my favourite yachts.” It’s a truism that word of mouth is the best advertisement, and Barnett Offshore was soon busy. An early commission was for the Malaysian Customs’ 8.5m GRP high-speed patrol boats. “We built and developed the prototypes here with surface drives powered by twin 500hp petrol V8s and they did 80 knots, ground-breaking stuff in the late 1980s.” Such high speeds were necessary because smugglers outran the then Malaysian Customs vessels. Marlborough Fibreglass eventually set up a joint venture in Penang to build the boats there, with around 40 ultimately produced. Since those early days, Barnett’s designed racing yachts, luxury cruising yachts, numerous commercial vessels and modern classics. His best-known example of the latter was the Tortuga 35 displacement launches, which he designed after seeing the local fishing boats used on Tortuga Cay in the Western Caribbean. These were easily-driven, extremely sea-kindly hulls that didn’t require much horsepower. Barnett Offshore built a dozen Tortugas. Some years later, Barnett reconfigured its hull mould for the Windhawk 35, of which Christchurch boatbuilder Davie Norris constructed four. Another was recently built for Outward Bound as an escort vessel to join its two existing Tortuga 35 escorts built by Barnett Offshore. By 1995 Barnett had developed a very successful boatbuilding and design business employing a staff of 22. However, profit margins decreased due to increasing costs from OSH and other compliance issues.

Barnett’s also involved with a product which has nothing to do with boats, crushing glass bottles into sand. Ironically These days, while Barnett is essentially a sole operator, he this idea came from a boatie: “That whole business started does have an associate naval architect in Turkey on tap to help with a bottle crusher on a small tourist boat in Fiordland; we complete working drawings. built a prototype, a couple more, then away we went. We build thousands of them a year now, and they’re sold worldwide.” “I’ll get drawings to him in the afternoon, he’ll work on them all night and then flick them back to me so I can carry on.” Crushing bottles means a ten-fold reduction in waste volume, and the resultant sand can be used for roading or This approach frees Barnett to come up with conceptual just returned to the soil. Barnett produces three sizes of glass ideas and drawings, which he considers his strength. His crushers: a large one for recycling centres, a mid-sized one for inquiring, logical mind has often generated boundary-pushing solutions, which hasn’t been by accident. “I have often broken new ground by starting with a clean sheet of paper. Sometimes a client will come with a drawing or photo, which I deliberately set aside, so I don’t limit the opportunity to innovate.” So, there you have it, another New Zealand yacht designer at the top of his game – innovating, refining and pushing boundaries worldwide.

fter all, nothing could be simpler. A Green lights and buoys are left to starboard, the same side of your vessel as the green starboard navigation light – so it’s just leave green to green... right? And just to make sure, we all parrot the “no RED PORT LEFT in the bottle” mnemonic to help remember which side the red light goes on. IALA is the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities, an IALA is the International intergovernmental body which has a membership of Association of Marine Aids about 80 countries. Representatives from these countries to Navigation & Lighthouse meet regularly to discuss changes to navigational aids. Authorities... Most of the world complies with IALA Region A, except for the Americas and US territories), Japan, Korea and the Philippines which comply with IALA Region B which is a mirror image of Region A. That may sound chaotic, but it’s a far (and civilised) cry from 1957, when IALA was formed in an attempt to standardise international buoyage and beaconage. Some countries who were engaged in hostilities would change the buoyage around their coastlines to confuse their foes. In those days the Royal Navy Hydrographic Office produced most of the world’s navigational charts and it must have driven them crazy. Even in the early 1970s there were 30 separate systems for safe pilotage and it took two collisions in the Dover Strait off the United Kingdom to kick-start attempts to standardise systems of buoyage. | subscribe | www.boatingnz.co.nz/subscribe/ Boating New Zealand 117

Outward bound is more comfortable – at least the channel markers are on the right side. During a several-year stint working as a delivery skipper in the US, I once took a job delivering a Roberts 54 ketch south for the winter. A friend and I did the job and one very hot day we spent about 10 hours motoring down canals of the ICW (Intra Coastal Waterway). Very little navigation was called for and we sipped cold beers to maintain a healthy fluid intake. Just on dusk we arrived near Jacksonville, a delta area with a busy commercial port and various US military bases. The channel ahead was lined and dotted with a galaxy of lights: flashing red, green, white and fast-flashing orange and blue. It was all quite beyond my intellectual acuity at the time, so I decided to pull out of the channel, anchor and go to bed. A red lateral marker appeared out of the gloom, so I gingerly motored past it into shoal water and dropped anchor, had grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and went to sleep. Within what seemed like minutes the interior of the boat was lit by bright lights and the sound of big diesels roaring and propellers rotating close at hand. Clad in my underpants, I stumbled into the cockpit and held my hand up to shield the glare. “You are trespassing on US Government property....move on....move on....move on!” A stentorian voice barked.

But when you are not connected to an CARIBBEAN BOATS (NZ) LTD apparently unlimited supply of power (let’s say just a few hundred amp-hours of EXCLUSIVE NEW CARIBBEAN NZ SALES DEALER power), you quickly realise how precious it is and how careful you have to be.  BIG CARIBBEAN When we bought SV Sauvage, she had BOAT RANGE – her ‘original’ three lead-acid house batteries, each at 100 49 FBC - 420 EXPRESS amp-hours (Ah), plus a dedicated battery for the engine.

charge their devices during the day when we had the most charge and should not leave their lights on at night. We have also reached the conclusion that back-up lithium charging blocks/batteries would be useful at night after we ran out of charge in our devices. We leave all our charging for daylight hours. My first project was to investigate alternatives to the original lead-acid batteries. Lithium-ion was the way to go: they offer the advantage of a faster charge and an increased usable capacity, while also being more tolerant to a partial charge than our lead-acid batteries. So, I bought and installed two 400Ah Lithium-ion batteries; this provided 800Ah all up. After a little bit of woodworking to increase the size of the original battery compartment, installation was a straightforward drop-in job. Now that we had a whole lot more battery capacity, we needed the ability to charge them! The very old, humble 40W trickle-charging solar panel My first project was to investigate alternatives to the original lead acid batteries. was useless for the job we needed. Again, it was time for more research. It was obvious that solar panels to collect the power generated by the sun was one part of the solution; the other part was a wind turbine to provide wind-generated power. As the wind turbine was to be our secondary power generator, I had no particular specifications and purchased a 400W, 12V wind turbine (which we’ve since nicknamed ‘Spinny’) off TradeMe. With the solar panels, I wanted to ensure we had redundancy in our solution, so that should one of the panels or controllers fail, we still had a working solution. We purchased two 400W solar panels, each with its own Victron controllers (two panels, two controllers). Why 400W? My rationale was that they gave us a nice big battery charging capacity, possibly more than we needed, with a cost-effective cost per amp-hour. 122 Boating New Zealand

OPPOSITE While I worked out a solution for where to place the panels The Fabrication Specialists on Sauvage (and how), we had them sitting on the deck, but team install the new arch, my this was entirely impractical. The obvious answer was to original plan below. commission a solar arch to mount off the back of the transom.  BELOW It is the kids’ job to As no two boats are the same, we had our solar arch lower the anchor – Chris jnr custom-built and fitted. I spent a bit of time talking to various is standing by for action! solar arch design and installation companies, but after having spent more money than I had intended re-painting Sauvage BOTTOM Chilling on the and having her sit on the hard for a longer period of time than Hauraki over the Matariki planned, I very quickly reached the conclusion that I didn’t weekend. want to re-break our bank account just to install one. After much asking around, I found the team at Fabrication Specialists in Whangaparaoa, a custom stainless workshop, who proved excellent at helping me. From my requirements, they designed, built and installed a solar arch that housed the two solar panels and Spinny.  While I write this article, and six months after installation, I am currently reaching out to the Fabrication Specialists team again. Recently, after installing Spinny I find that we now need extra bracing to counter its spinning motion.  Given that the lights inside the boat, from the saloon to the cabins to the heads, were all old and power-hungry, swapping these out for more efficient lights seemed a no-brainer. The replacement project was easy. I found replacement LED lights designed to drop into the old filament light sockets at our local Burnsco. We saw immediate and significant power savings.  We also used a lot of power for the anchor light on the mast, so we replaced it with a very cool combo tri-coloured LED anchor light, which has proved much more energy efficient.  We also replaced the original fridge and freezer (another major project which we’ll talk about another time) with a new model that uses less power, but even so, we always use about 3Ah to maintain the cool temperatures required.  All-in-all, after dealing with the opportunities above, we have a good solution capable of powering our family through longer trips.  As a postscript, having now lived on the boat for longer periods of time, we are looking to further grow the battery capacity. We currently have 800Ah but now believe 1600Ah may be more practical for us. While we can conduct most of our high electricity usage activities during the day when power is coming thick and fast from solar, as soon as we get a few days of cloud we start to eat into our reserves. We can run low/run out of power within three days. I intend Spinny to be a big part of our ultimate solution as well, but at the moment it is not working well with the Victron DC-DC Charger. The charger stops Spinny from putting power straight into the house batteries, a protective go-between if you like. But last time we were out on Sauvage, it sparked quite a bit and I had to turn it off to protect the batteries. So the output from Spinny is no longer being captured. Back to the drawing board for a better solution – I will report back once I have some more time to get it working properly! BNZ NEXT MONTH Next month it’s time to pull out the built-in fridge and install a free-standing unit – power and size is an issue. I will also tell you about losing the anchor – we know exactly where it is but it’s 10m below the water tied around a rock!

VINTAGEVIEW with HAROLD KIDD ONE MAN AND HIS BOATS: HAROLD GEORGE: Celox and Victory With connections to the Couldrey family and growing up in Northcote on Auckland’s North Shore, Harold George could hardly escape becoming a fine seaman. TOP Harold George. Harold James Couldrey George was born in Northcote, on New Year’s Day 1898, the first child of ABOVE Celox being hammered up the Rangitoto Channel Hector Hugh George and Florence Couldrey. Hector by the George/Couldrey team. worked for John Burns, in charge of their chandlery department. Florence was a member of the Couldrey family, farmers at Clevedon and Maraetai. They were also deeply involved in local shipping with their little steamer Hirere. Harold went to Northcote Primary School and on to Auckland Grammar School, then in Symonds Street, and later studied law part-time at Auckland University College. Like many young men in New Zealand at the time Harold became an Army Territorial, with the Auckland Regiment, Third Battalion, where he received excellent training. Growing up in the marine suburb of Northcote and being related to the Couldreys, especially his first cousin Arnold ‘Bill’ Couldrey, Harold could hardly escape becoming a fine seaman and an outstanding yachtsman. His father Hector was ‘in the trade’ too, with John Burns, then the pre-eminent ships chandlers and sailmakers in Auckland, and an experienced yachtsman himself. He dabbled in the ownership of local working craft, too, setting the pattern for the George family for many years to come. His first venture was a third share between 1907 and 1912 in the smart ketch Edna, with his brothers-in-law George and Herbert Couldrey, which Bailey & Lowe built in 1904 for Henry Kasper. In February 1913, with George Couldrey, Hector bought the crack 26ft mullet boat Celox. Celox is often regarded as the epitome of design and construction of the 26ft class of mullet boat. Arch Logan designed her, Logan Bros built her; what greater pedigree could you have? Celox was built, strictly to the Ponsonby Regatta Club’s Restrictions, for Tom Percy of St. Georges Bay Road, Parnell and launched in October 1908. She 124 Boating New Zealand

Tom Percy was as keen on cruising as racing so Celox frequently went out on the Gulf rather than race. In March ABOVE Harold 1912 he advertised Celox for sale but it was not until February George (right) at 1913 that Hec George and George Couldrey bought her.

Shortly before his 20th birthday in December 1917 Harold enlisted as a private in the New Zealand Expeditionary Force. He arrived at Sling Camp on Salisbury Plain for final training but was too late to be posted to France on active duty. He returned to Auckland in April 1919, resumed the study of Law, working during the day for Selwyn Mays, the Crown Prosecutor. In October 1919, his father and George Couldrey sold Celox to Vic Lidgard when they bought the Logan keel yacht Victory from Tom Alexander. Harold was a member of the family syndicate and prompted the purchase. Victory was another outstanding Logan Bros yacht. She was built in late 1906 for Jagger & Harvey, Auckland merchants, with interests in the fishing industry. The Jagger brothers were already Logan customers with the outstanding 60ft First Class yacht Thelma. But, like her sistership Frances, Victory was designed as a | subscribe | www.boatingnz.co.nz/subscribe/ Boating New Zealand 125

workboat, in Victory’s case for line fishing in the Hauraki Gulf for their skipper Joe Winter to fish from Great Barrier Island. Frances was built for Bob Shakespear to carry his vegetable produce, mainly melons, from Whangaparaoa to the City Markets. The style was loosely called a ‘schnapper boat’, a type which was flowering at this point with splendid examples from the Logans, C. & W. Bailey and Bailey & Lowe but which was soon put out of business by Sanford’s steam trawlers hoovering up the fish in the Gulf. Essentially the ‘schnapper boat’ was a conventional racing keel yacht but with an extra foot or so of beam, for load carrying, and spartan accommodation for the crew in favour of a sizeable hold. Logan Bros’ examples included Little Jim and Spray; C. & W. Bailey built Cooee, Bailey & Lowe produced Schopolo (later Rangi) and White Heather. Because their extra beam gave them stiffness for greater sail carrying, they were soon in demand for conversion to pleasure yachts. The Georges and Couldreys gave Victory a total overhaul at Bailey & Lowe’s yard in Sulphur Beach where Harold’s cousin Bill Couldrey was soon to start his apprenticeship. The auxiliary engine was removed, the cabin bulkhead shifted forward, two additional 6ft bunks installed and a new cabin-top fitted. A fine new suit of sails from John Burns Ltd completed the transition from fishing smack to a first-class yacht. Hec increasingly relied on his sons Harold and Geoffrey (Hec Jr) to sail Victory as he had been unwell for some time. With Harold as skipper, they raced principally with the North Shore Yacht Club, for which Victory flew the Rear-Commodore’s flag, the Squadron and Devonport Yacht Club. They took part in all the Ocean Races that came along, including winning first line in the inaugural Tauranga Power with Peace World’s smallest, lightest and quietest generator sets 5G Miro Place, Albany, Auckland, New Zealand p. 09 414 4730 | [email protected] | www.enertecmarine.com 126 Boating New Zealand

The New Zealand Herald reported: “The closing races of the yachting season on Saturday was marred by the sudden death of Mr. Hector Hugh George, owner of the well-known racing yacht Victory when she was holding a leading position in the race for her class, the death being due to heart failure… Victory was leading boat rounding the Rangitoto reef mark, her skipper, Mr. Harold George, eldest son of the owner, judging the mark well, and the incident was quite exciting with Iorangi, Prize and Moana all at close quarters. It was shortly after this, and when the four leading boats were sailing along the Rangitoto shores on their way to Islington Bay, when Mr. George, who had been sitting for’ard by the mast in company with his brother-in-law, Capt. G. Couldrey, suddenly became unconscious. Everything possible was done and Mr. Breckin’s launch Alecia, which was close handy, was hailed. Mr. George, accompanied by his two sons, was conveyed to Devonport, where a doctor was obtained, but he could only pronounce life to be extinct. Lady Jellicoe and party were the guests of honour on board and were greatly distressed at what took place.
