Racing aboard Ariki A3 - Perpetual Guardian Classic Yacht Regatta Race1 Alternate Edit

Another edit of Race 1 aboard A3 Ariki. Utilising a 360 degree camera there are almost unlimited angles to view so this edit of Race 1 looks in a few different directions. Ariki was designed by Archibald Logan and built in 1904 by Logan brothers for Charles Horton of the Horton publishing family. Her design was based on the Logan’s brother’s successful Rainbow of 1898 as a cruiser racer, Ariki was considerably bigger and more powerful than most of the other Logan designed yachts, apart from Thelma. Ariki was a gaff-rigged cutter with a jackyard topsail. Featuring a spoon-bowed and counter-stern, her hull was planked in copper fastened kauri, consisting of two thinner layers of planks that were diagonal to each other and the third skin of planks running horizontally fore and aft along the yacht. She featured a flush deck with no cabin top visible above the deck.
