John Street spoke on ‘The Rescue of the Daring’. John established the Classic Yachts Trust in Auckland and is responsible for bringing back to New Zealand ‘Thelma’ (from St. Tropez) and ‘Waitangi’  (from Melbourne), pre-1900 Logan yachts. The Daring, built at Mangawhai Heads in 1863 and beached on Muriwai Beach 1864, was covered by the sand, and exposed in 2018. John was closely involved in the rescue of this important historic wreck.
