The original A.D. Blake painting, of gaff-topsail-flying A-class yachts Thelma, Waitangi and Rainbow racing past North Head, fetched $80,000.
Perfectly timed to promote Friday’s charity art auction, the definitive, on-fabric framed sign-and-numbered print (6 of 25) that was donated as a Mahurangi Regatta prize-giving dance spot prize, was delivered yesterday. Purchased for $750, the Mahurangi Magazine-reading donor styled his gift “two birds with one stone”. He’d wanted to support the print sales, which have collectively raised $18,750 towards the costly repair of the Thelma’s mast, and support the Mahurangi Regatta.
The donation of the print came within hours of the Mahurangi Magazine publicising the principal regatta sponsor Teak Construction’s suggestion of inviting prize-giving dancegoers to purchase a $25 “not-a-ticket” and be eligible for generous spot prizes.
The physical not-a-tickets are A4-length HMSS Buffalo off Spar Station Cove prints, purchased in bulk at an extremely reasonable price, thank you so very much Forbes Packaging. The lucky owner of this ridiculously handsome spot prize will be randomly drawn from the first 100 not-a-tickets sold.
Buy HMSS Buffalo off Spar Station Cove not-a-ticket now, and because they provide a refreshing alternative to Christmas cards, the first 100 not-a-ticket purchasers will each be mailed half a dozen Buffalo prints!
