Wai Aniwa joins our fleet of famous yacht names in NZ Yachting History

Wai Aniwa is the latest addition to our Electron Fleet. Wai-Aniwa is the 1074th boat in the family of Electron Yachts. She carries the livery of the famous Dick Carter designed 1 ton boat owned by Ray Walker. She won the One Ton Cup in 1972 when sailed by sailing legend Chris Bouzaid.

Endless Summer. This Electron is an early model purchased off Des Townson by Penny Whiting. Penny ( daughter of Darcy) is another legend on the Auckland water front. She is renowned for teaching many thousands ( mainly Females) to sail.  If you have sailed on the full size Endless Summer you will want to skipper this version.

Infidel owned by the  Sir Tom Clarke. Designed by John Spencer and renamed Ragtime she won the Transpac in 2 years in succession. Arguably the single most influential offshore racer of the last 30 years.

B lack Magic NZL 32 the Peter Blake inspired winner of the Americas Cup in 1995. She was skippered to victory by Russell Coutts.

Ranger built and sailed by local wharfs brothers Lou ands Cyril Turcel. She raced virtually unbeaten on Auckland Harbour for 30 years. Still probably the most famous yacht on Auckland Harbour.

Tequila. Another famous name on the Auckland Harbour. Owned by one of the real characters of NZ Yachting, Darcy Whiting, who sailed her around the world twice. Now owned and campaigned by his daughter Debbie.

The One Ton Cup 1971

About this item

In 1969 Chris Bouzaid and his yacht Rainbow ll won the One Ton Cup  (dubbed the "everyman's America's Cup"), and put New Zealand on the international yachting map. In February 1971 the five-race regatta began in the Hauraki Gulf. Bouzaid narrates this account of skippering his yacht Wai Aniwa, assessing the form of 17 rivals for the cup, including entries from Australia, Germany, Italy and Sweden. Australian yacht Stormy Petrel takes the first win while capricious winds and a disqualificatio...

Rainbow II is for sale.  If you are interested in becoming the new custodian to take her into the future phone 021 280 0360.

Rainbow II was designed by Olin J Stephens II of Sparkman and Stephens design office to meet the RORC rule.  She was built of single skin splined kauri in 1966 by Max Carter for Chris Bouzaid who very successfully campaigned her on the one ton cup circuit which took New Zealand yachting to the global stage. Rainbow II is currently on public display at Heritage Landing, Silo Park, Auckland.

Words from Chris Bouzaid

It’s now approaching 50 years since Rainbow II’s ocean race win in the 1969 One Ton Cup shared equal front page billing in the Auckland Star evening newspaper with Neil Armstrong landing on the moon (“One Small Step For Man” on the left and “Rainbow Wins Battle Of Jutland” on the right) so it is easy to forget the impact she made on the New Zealand public. Heck – she even had her picture on the lid of the Arnotts Biscuits tin - a distinction usually reserved for racehorses in those days.

I take a lot of pride in the fact that people in a position to judge these things claim that Rainbow II’s feats in the late 1960s, backing up Jim Davern’s 1966 line honours win, in Fidelis, in the Sydney-Hobart, are credited with launching the New Zealand invasion of ocean racing which, in the next 40 years, resulted in Kiwi designed boats and crews winning every major event in world offshore racing scene, most of them more than once. That includes the Whitbread Round the World race, the Trophee Jules Verne and the America’s Cup, all three Ton Cups (Quarter, Half and One), plus the Admiral’s Cup, Southern Cross Cup and Kenwood (nee Clipper) Cups.

That domination of the sport extended to yacht design, boatbuilding, and the design and construction of rigs and sails.

Quite astonishing when you consider: New Zealand’s population was only 2.8 million when Rainbow won the One Ton Cup in 1969; 2.89 million when Pathfinder, Runaway and Wai-Aniwa finished first, second and third in the Sydney-Hobart classic to clinch the 1971 Southern Cross Cup;  just 3.3 million when, in 1987, Propaganda, Kiwi and Goldcorp won the 1987 Admiral’s Cup; 3.36 million when Steinlager II won all six legs of the Whitbread Round the World race (on line and on handicap); and just 3.6 million when, in 1995, “Black Magic” (NZL 32) won the America’s Cup.

Now – is that punching ‘way above your weight?

The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron (RNZYS) and its members have been integral to most of that phenomenal success (and one should never forget either the important part played by the Royal Akarana Yacht Club).

Rainbow’s 1968 challenge for the One Ton Cup in Heligoland was a first for the Squadron that, for the most part, in those days was content to organise racing for its magnificent fleet of harbour and gulf racers. The challenge in Germany was championed by Commodore Bruce Marler and senior club member Arnold Baldwin. What visionaries they proved to be.

We managed to raise, mostly from club members, almost £20,000 – an awful lot of money in those days. From the acorn of those small beginnings, a very large oak tree sprouted, and - look where it has led the Squadron. There is no yacht club in the world that has as much recognition for its successful campaigns, and no other yacht club has won as many international regattas.

I want to thank all of you who have helped us get this far. It has been a journey with lots of memories and old friends coming out of the woodwork in all parts of the world.  And, it would appear that the old Rainbow magic is still a factor. Even though we kept fairly quiet about the Rainbow II restoration, a steady flow of interested parties found their way to Horizon Boats to check on progress  - no easy task because the yard is well tucked away in a district north of Auckland that is only now beginning to make its way on to the GPS maps.

The modern era of the One Ton Cup started with yachts designed to the RORC Rule (1964 to 1969 - the Rainbow II era). Then the newly formulated International Offshore Rule (IOR) was introduced and, from 1970 to 1980, all competitors were designed and built to that rule. (the Wai-Aniwa era). During those two periods, the average Joe could afford to build, own and campaign a One Tonner. Then costs began to spiral and today you would not get much for the money you managed to scrape together for a whole campaign in days gone by, and this has had a serious impact on international competition. Maybe the old days weren’t so bad and maybe that’s why the idea for a One Ton Revisited regatta proved so popular.

Good and happy sailing

Chris  

Racing History

Chris and his crew's winning results included 121 races over three years. Among the victories were the Whangarei-Noumea race in April, 1967, the Sydney-Hobart classic in December, 1967, finished second (1968) and then first (1969)  in the One Ton Cup in Heligoland, and then, in August 1969, won the 245-mile Channel Race and finished first in her class in the 605-mile Fastnet Classic.  

Her time in Bermuda

Chris sold Rainbow II to Charlie Berry of Bermuda in 1969 immediately after the Fastnet Classic. She remained in Hamilton, Bermuda for the following 43 years.

And Back to New Zealand

Chris Bouzaid was passing through Bermuda in 2009 and took the time to visit Rainbow II which was then owned by Jeremy Brasier. The old girl was in bad shape and not all that far from the scrap heap. With a couple of friends, he took her for a sail and was amazed how well she still slid along, especially in the light air. Unfortunately, the breeze increased during the day, and so did the volume of water coming in through the garboard planks. They were pretty lucky to get back to the mooring without drowning the engine. 

Chris made the decision there and then that this was not a fitting end for a yacht that had inspired so much and so many. She had to be brought home to Auckland.A few quick phone calls to friends in New Zealand and Monaco produced some very generous offers of both financial and physical help. So, Chris bought Rainbow II from Jeremy and pretty soon, with the help of the Maersk Line, she was on her way home to the Waitemata Harbour.

The original concept was to put Rainbow II back into presentable shape and donate her for public display in the New Zealand Maritime Museum at Hobson Wharf Auckland. That idea was modified when it emerged that there was a lot of interest in Rainbow having another romp around the harbour with as many of the original crew as could still come sailing, before she was retired to a museum.  So, what was going to be a quick lick tidy up, became a tad more complicated.

In October 2013 the plans all changed again. Over a few beers at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, it was suggested by Alan Sefton that we should see if there was any interest in having a rerun of the old One Ton Cups in Auckland around the time of the 2014/15 Volvo Ocean Race stopover in 2015. An announcement was made seeking “Expressions of Interest”. The international response – 28 from 9 different countries – was good enough for the RNZYS to commit to formal planning and a Notice of Race for a “One Ton Cup Revisited” regatta was published and disseminated in March 2014.

Rainbow’s “quick lick” now became a full restoration to enable her to go racing again. The target was to have all work completed by the end of August, 2014, with Rainbow re-launched at the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron’s Westhaven clubrooms in mid-September, 2014.

The 2014 restoration

The works team on the job was Wayne Olsen of Horizon Boats Ltd and the amazingly resourceful Mike Smith. The invaluable volunteer helpers included Max Carter, the man who built Rainbow II back in 1966, John “Bulldog” Street, Tony “Womble” Barclay, and Roy “Rocket” Dickson. 

A considerable list of equipment was donated, to ensure that Rainbow II lacked for nothing when she returned to the race start line again in the One Ton Cup Revisited regatta in Auckland in March 2015. 

When Chris and Max set out to build Rainbow II in 1966, for weight purposes they opted for a single skin of kauri with glued splines between the planks (instead of caulking). It is amazing how well she stood the test of time, considering that the S&S 36-footer was raced very hard in the first three years of her life.

Once Horizon Boats had water blasted Rainbow’s exterior, they found a very small amount of rot in the marine ply deck but none at all in the hull – testimony to the qualities of the wonderful Kauri and to the boatbuilding skills of Max Carter.  

The exterior of the hull was fibre glassed, undercoated and brought up to finish-coat standard. All deck hardware was removed, for refurbishment or if needs be replacement, while deck and cockpit were fibre glassed and repainted with anti-skid. The cabin top and teak toe rail were reinstated and coamings scraped right back and re-varnished. The interior, meanwhile, was sand-blasted prior to prep and repaint. New floors and mast step were installed. The original bunks will be restored and the galley and navigatorium were refurbished.

The engine was fully reconditioned and repainted and housed in a new engine box. All wiring and the two batteries and engine start panel were renewed. New deck and navigation lights and a new performance electronics package were installed.

With all work completed, Rainbow II was as close to original as they could make her with boat builder Wayne Olsen confident that she is stronger than she’s ever been.

Lorraine Street rechristened Rainbow II at the relaunch at Pier 21 on 2 nd Feb 2015 in front of a gathering that included John Street, Chris Bouzaid, Alan Sefton, Bruce Marler, who was commodore of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and a driving force behind Rainbow’s campaigns for the Cup, current RNZYS commodore Andy Anderson, and Rainbow II crew stalwarts Roy Dickson, Alan Warwick and Peter Shaw. One more than interested observer was Bouzaid’s son Richard who, as a four-year-old, first tasted “stardom” when the Auckland Star newspaper photographed him sitting in the trophy that his father et al had just won in Germany.

One Ton Revisited

The One Ton revisited event was held from 1 st to 7 th March 2015. Regrettably only five boats made it to the start line, however they made for some very close and nostalgic racing.

Rainbow II showed off her pedigree and class by winning the five race series with impressive 2/1/1/1/2 placings. Here’s the full story by Alan Sefton

2017 / 2018 cruising fitout

Neil Gillard is the current skipper and caretaker of Rainbow II having taken over from Leo Bouzaid in late 2016.

By September 2017 Neil had sailed Rainbow II enough to realise that she badly needed more work to complete her refit that started when she was brought back to her original racing configuration. With the support of John Street and Chris Bouzaid it was decided to improve the interior of the boat to accommodate more comfortable cruising. Chris McMullan had a vacant shed at the time at Rainbow II was hauled out at Chris McMullen's yard in Mt Wellington late 2017. Neil's background in boat builing came to the fore and a full interior fitout was completed over the following 15 months. Works included:  Mahogany trim around the bulkheads, coamings stripped filled and glassed with Altex 2pot paint, interior sanded faired and repainted, galley and chart table installed, bunks installed in the forward cabin and aft quarter berth, new compact engine box, new hatches and cabin top dorades. During the covid19 "lock down" period fromm March 2020 Neil widened the saloon bunks, installed a holding tank, and made repairs to the keelson/lead joint water leak.

While Rainbow II continues to display her original racing lines she is now beautifully fitted out inside for comfortable cruising.

Revisiting the One Ton Cup era

Published on November 27th, 2013 by Editor -->

Back in the day, when grand prix handicap racing was going bonkers, the One Ton Cup was among the holy grails in the sport. Reputations were made at the One Ton Cup.

The One Ton Cup was first created in the early 1900s for the 6 meter class, but it became an ocean racing championship in 1965 when the RORC, and then later IOR, handicap rules gained traction. A “one tonner” was a specific handicap rating number, thus providing designers the target to create the fastest boat.

And they would all gather each year to race for the Cup.

Now, with the Cup long since fought over, 2-time One Ton Cup champion Chris Bouzaid (1969 and 1972) and the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron are seeking an indication of potential interest in a proposed “One Ton Cup Revisited” regatta, in Auckland, New Zealand, in February/March 2015.

The regatta would celebrate the (near) 50 th anniversary of the One Ton Cup switching from metre class yachts to offshore racers, using an international rule (RORC) to measure and rate contestants. This was when interest in the Cup went global and led to One Tonners being regarded as the Formula One class of ocean racing.

Click here for updated information.

The current thinking is to cater for RORC and IOR One Tonners that were eligible for Cup competition between (and including) the years 1965 to 1983. The Cup increased the boat size in 1984.

The IRC Rating Rule would be used to equitably handicap the fleet which would be raced in two classes – RORC and IOR yachts 1965 to 1971 (inclusive), and IOR yachts 1971 to 1983 (inclusive).

The RNZYS has had a long involvement in the modern era of the event, competing for the Cup no less than 12 times, in seven different countries. In the process, it has won the Cup on five occasions and hosted the event twice.  

The current proposal for the “Revisited” regatta would be to mirror the One Ton Cup of old – such that there would be three inshore races, a short ocean race and a proper ocean race. In deference to contestants and boats, however, the inshore races would be of approximately 20 miles length, while the short ocean race would be a 40-miler (approx) and the ocean race a 100-miler (approx).

There would be a Prix d’ Elegance and other innovative awards, with an opening ceremony and  prizegiving that would do full justice to New Zealand’s legendary record for celebrating major sailing occasions.

There would also be a New Zealand Millennium Cup super yacht and One Ton Cup Revisited weekend at the beautiful Hauraki Gulf island of Kawau, with its famous Mansion House which, in the mid-to-late 1800s, was the residence of the then Governor of New Zealand, Sir George Grey.

This will be a high-profile sailing period in Auckland.

The Finn Gold Cup will be raced off Takapuna Beach in February 2015, while the Volvo Ocean Race fleet is scheduled to arrive in Auckland (from China) on or about around 26 February 2015, and leave for Itajai, in Brazil, on 15 March 2015.

The proposed “One Ton Cup Revisited” would be an important and integral part of this major celebration of sail.

Those interested should communicate, by email that interest, with brief detail of the One Tonner that might/would be involved: Alan Sefton, [email protected]

Below is an example of boats that were eligible One Tonners up to and including 1983 (updated Dec 4, 2013 but by no means definitive). Please email the Scuttlebutt editor with any corrections and/or additions:

Auckland's 175th anniversary: Over the rainbow

Yachtsman Chris Bouzaid watches Rainbow II being placed in a travelling cradle, destined for the One Ton Cup competition off Germany, in April 1968. He will race her again in Auckland this week.

Auckland and NZ have won international fame for our America's Cup and round-the-world yachtsmen. Suzanne McFadden charts the way the city and gulf have helped our sailors graduate from banana boxes to world-beaters.

Chris Bouzaid and Rainbow II - the man and his boat who catapulted New Zealand on to the world ocean-sailing chart - are about to race together again, almost half a century since their immortal deed.

The reunion on Auckland's harbour next week has been a long time coming. Bouzaid was just 25, an ambitious Auckland sailmaker, when he skippered his lightning-fast 36-footer to victory in the 1969 One Ton Cup in the North Sea. Winning the Formula One of ocean racing was the precursor to our future round-the-world and America's Cup triumphs.

After 121 race wins in the space of just two years, Bouzaid sold Rainbow II to a sailor in Bermuda.

But their story didn't end there. Now 72, and living in Rhode Island, Bouzaid rescued his old kauri-skinned boat from the scrapyard and brought her home to New Zealand, where she has been restored to full fighting trim.

Her revival has spurred the One Ton Cup Revisited, a five-race regatta starting next Saturday, bringing together some of the surviving One Tonners from New Zealand sailing history.

Bouzaid's string of successes in the late 60s also spurred on some of our greatest yachties. Among them were two Auckland teenagers, Peter Blake and Grant Dalton, who would create the second wave of New Zealand dominance on the offshore sailing scene.

Bouzaid was born into Auckland's sailing fraternity; his father Leo was one of the country's top sailmakers and a waterfront character. Chris and brother Tony were teenagers when Leo died; they inherited the successful sail-making business but were both hell-bent on pursuing careers on the water too.

At 23, Chris Bouzaid mortgaged his house to raise the 15,000 to build Rainbow II. With the help of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, Bouzaid and his Kiwi crew made a play for the 1968 One Ton Cup, contested off the German archipelago of Heligoland. Finishing runners-up, they returned the following year and stunned the fleet. Back home, they shared front-page headlines in the Auckland Star with another monumental achievement that same day - when man first walked on the moon.

A few years ago, Bouzaid found the boat in a sorry state in Bermuda and decided "it was time for her to come home". Her restoration at the hands of Max Carter, the man who built her 48 years ago, has been painstaking and she has a new future inspiring the next generation of Auckland sailors.

Wai Aniwa, the boat with which Bouzaid won back the One Ton Cup, in Sydney in 1972, will also line up in the One Ton Cup Revisited. But it's still Rainbow II that has the fondest hold on Bouzaid's heart. "This little yacht - along with her dedicated crews - was originally responsible for putting New Zealand on the international sailing map," he said.

Peter Blake was captivated by Bouzaid's exploits. In 1969, he was an engineering student at Auckland Technical Institute, and he and his brother Tony had won the New Zealand junior offshore champions title. Two years later, Blake would get his first taste of true offshore sailing, in the first Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro race - and he was ensnared.

The boy who'd sailed in banana boxes on the harbour's edge in Bayswater, who built his pug-nosed P Class dinghy Pee Bee in the backyard with his dad, couldn't wait to explore the world's oceans. He conquered them - circumnavigating the globe six times, winning the 1989-90 round-the-world race, and circling the world in a record-breaking 74 days.

The outstanding sailor would also become an inspiring leader - and father of Auckland's Viaduct Harbour. After leading Team New Zealand to victory in the 1995 America's Cup, one of New Zealand's most celebrated sporting achievements, Blake took on the city's bureaucrats to transform a smelly fishing dock into a world-class sailing village, the base for two dazzling Cup regattas.

Despite his premature death in the Amazon in 2001, Blake's legacy lives on in Auckland's still-vibrant yachting scene.

Grant Dalton's earliest memory of New Zealand sailing's prowess was Rainbow II's One Ton victory: "It started there for my generation," he says.

He was 12, and already well acquainted with the sea - racing his P Class dinghy, Andy Pandy, at Maraetai, and spending hours mucking around at the family's Hobson Bay boatshed.

Like Blake, he was fascinated by what lay beyond the Hauraki Gulf and was drawn to sail around the world seven times. On his fifth attempt, he won the round-the-world race on NZ Endeavour, and he also triumphed in The Race, a non-stop circumnavigation in 2001.

But Dalton, now in his third campaign at the head of Emirates Team New Zealand and still racing competitively at 57, has always been lured back to Auckland.

"There are some really amazing harbours around the world but there is something incredibly unique about Auckland's. I don't think there is anywhere else in the world like it - where on leaving the inner harbour you don't find yourself smack-bang amid the wide expanses of the ocean. There are so many beautiful islands to sail around and explore."

A life on the water

In 2002, Grant Dalton wrote the foreword to a

New Zealand Herald

publication, On The Water, celebrating Auckland's waterways. Here is an excerpt.

"Auckland's harbour - sometimes familiar friend, sometimes old foe - features on every page of the storybook of my sailing life.

"It was right there at the start, when as a kid I sailed in my first Anniversary Day regatta in the P Class dinghy my grandfather bought me. And there it was again, when I sailed into Auckland in a round the world campaign, so thrilled just to be coming home once again.

"Although most of my competitive sailing career has been on overseas waters, circumnavigating the globe seven times, all of my leisure sailing has been here in Auckland. I learned to sail at Maraetai where my family had a bach, in a P Class dinghy called Andy Pandy (I still have the name plate).

"When I was a teenager in the '70s, I spent all my time racing on the inner harbour. We were sailing Flying 18s, the toast of the harbour, screaming around every Saturday and Sunday. They were formative years in New Zealand yachting - it was sailing's first foray into sponsorship.

"For all its beauty, it can also be a very tricky place to sail in. There's a lot of tide in the harbour, where you can make big gains and big losses in a race. There's a treacherous sand bank off Narrow Neck where I have run aground - at pace - and the famous Ngapipi Rd lift.

"Six times I have sailed into Auckland on a round-the-world leg and every time, it's the greatest feeling. These days, you can see the Sky Tower from as far away as Kawau Island, and you know you are home. Other landmarks stir your emotions: Orakei Wharf, the Auckland Hospital chimney, the museum on the hill and then the Harbour Bridge."

City of sails

• Auckland, "The City of Sails", has more boats per capita than anywhere else in the world. There were about 132,000 boats in Auckland in 2011; NZ Marine projected the number of craft would swell to 222,000 in 2031.

• Auckland was the hub for yacht builders at the turn of the 20th century - the Logan and Bailey families crafted beautiful kauri boats that still grace the harbour today. Interest in sailboat racing grew; in 1939, 100,000 people watched a sailing race on Auckland Harbour.

• The first Auckland Regatta was held on the day the city was founded, September 18, 1840 - making it New Zealand's oldest sporting event (11 years older, in fact, than the first America's Cup contest). The impromptu regatta, which began as Lieutenant Governor William Hobson rowed ashore and took formal possession of the site of Auckland, featured three races between two gigs, two whaling boats and two Maori waka.

• There are 50 yacht clubs from Omaha in the north to Clarke's Beach at the southern end of the Manukau Harbour, with more than 17,000 members.
