"Such challenges included the need to place her 12hp engine not just for'ard
of the mast, but actually in the bow. This provided sufficient bow down trim
to gain a critical rating benefit, but as can be imagined it made the boat particularly
cranky downwind. Howzat on launching day Westhaven Auckland (photo Allen Walbridge

Howzat was raced extensively in Auckland regattas and
some of the offshore classics, including the Auckland to Gisborne race.

July, the 1976 Whiting Half Tonner Howzat was launched today at Pier 21 in Westhaven,
after a long and thorough restoration by owner Allen Walbridge. She sports a
gleaming hull finish that reinstates her original red topsides and white stripes.
The original long sloping transom has been straightened up a little, providing
more cockpit space, and a new bulb keel and deeper rudder have been fitted.
The new rig is taller than her original, and the boom is longer.
