text: The 43-foot A Class keeler Little Jim harries Martana, a 22-foot mullet boat, up Waitemata Harbour. Built in 1934 but Arnold "Bill" Couldrey of Northcote to a design by Arch Logan, Little Jim replaced an earlier vessel of the same name, wrecked the year before. Her appearance triggered an explosion in FIrst Class yacht construction, lifting Auckland yacht-building out of the Depression doldrums and launching it on the path to its modern-day pre-eminence.
