These photographs are a selection from albums which belonged to Vera Rasmussen, who sailed centreboarders and keelers in Wellington during the 1930s and 1940s. She owned and raced the Idle Along named Dauntless during the late '30s, registered with the Royal Port Nicholson Yacht Club. The photos are supplied by her son Peter Wilson.

Captions are as they appear in the albums. Where there is no intormation, comments are in square brackets.
