Meteor

In the fierce rivalry between the Logan and Bailey families, one of the most successful Bailey boats was Meteor. Launched in October 1897, it defeated the Logans’ Kotiri by 54 seconds in December. The boat’s speed attracted the interest of Australians, and when the boat performed well on Sydney Harbour, the Auckland builders received a flood of orders from Sydney yachties.
