Anyndah : Her Epic Race Of 1931
Anyndah recently featured in the March 2018 Albert Strange Association Newsletter which prompted me to see what I could find out about this Australian based boat, build in 1928. A search through digitised old newspapers turned up a racing success from 1931 in which Anyndah featured on the front page of The Register News-Pictorial, an Adelaide based publication. Here is a scan of that piece of the front page:
Anyndah on the front page of The Register News-Pictorial,
dated Tuesday 27th January 1931
Still Looking Good 110 Years Later
The current owner, Rob Smedley, still has Anyndah based in Adelaide. She's now bermudan rigged. Rob sent in an up-to-date photograph of his boat, reproduced below.
