Interesting thread. Apart from Sevens my other passion is narrowboats. Our marina neighbours for many years had a boat named Rangitoto with a profile of the volcanic island on the cabin side. It will probably come as no surprise to hear that they were from Auckland - he was a retired Air New Zealand Boeing 747 captain.
They managed to spend summers boating on both the UK canals and the Pacific ocean since they also had a boat at home.
The image below is of the Rangitoto in the snow (the boat that is - not the island).
I used it wish them Happy Christmas back in 2013 (see https://nbalbert.blogspot.com/2009/12/ch...obion.html)
