well, this is bringing out some real nice boats by AWB, He had a lot of variations in the stern quarters but the designs are still unmistakable. If ASTRID does not appear in the water soon I will bet she is in storage somewhere.
Maybe Geo. Gould started her down south and finished her off at Kawhia. There was still regular coastal shipping Dunedin-Lyttleton-Raglan-Port Waikato-Onehunga return in the 50's so she may have come up deck cargo.
"Dawn Lady" is a looker Mark, the stern is just a little nicer than Astrid, not quite so "stumpy" . He always kept the w/l as a d/ender except on his launches.

Hi Mark,
Yes Dawn Lady is currently at Picton, she still looks as good as she did in your photo. I understand she was built by Jack Morgan at Picton and she still has the Volvo MD11.
I think she is a lovely looking boat.

'Dolly J' is a nice looking boat, mind you I don't think AB was capable of designing an ugly boat I'm sure he would consign any drawing that didn't look right to the bin!
I see that 'Mahara' is also for sale at Waikawa - she is looking sweet as well. There have been some nice AB boats for sale lately, Turmoil, Vaila, Mahara, Dawn Lady. It is a great thing if you are a fan of AB's designs.

Nice pic of Dolly J. Gosh, that original name was a bit of a mouthful, I can understand why it was changed!

I'm almost certain Dolly J was built to the Judith design. The hull lines and sail plan are reproduced in the Classic NZ Yachts article I posted earlier in this thread. There were several boats built to this design; Spree (28ft 6in original version), Judith, Mahara and possibly Dolly J (all 31ft 6in LOD). There may be others as well.

AB produced a lot of cutter rigs so it would not be surprising if Dolly J was originally cutter rigged too.
