Hello all, I have been lurking on this site for a couple of years now so I think its about time I said hello. My name is Ian Aitken I am a 60 year old farmer ex motor mechanic. Been interested in boats all my life. Am really taken by the philosophy behind Robs Harry designs. Anyway more to the point I live near New Plymouth NZ and happen to be going to Whangarei on Friday. I will be there for a few days so will try to track down Bain and get some photos and a story on his transtasman.

Cheers Ian
