Hi all
A friend of mine brought to my attention the threat facing a very historic New Zealand built yacht at the moment. The yacht Uira dating from 1896 is on hardstand in need of removal at Sydney and is apparently being offered free to a willing taker. The link to the advertisement follows plus the record for Uira from my Register of Australian and New Zealand Ships and Boats.

Please spread the word, particularly to those in New Zealand. It would be a shame if she was to be broken up.
Best regards
