Matua

Matua – one of those boats that looks fast even at anchor. Recently on trademe so maybe she has a new owner. Help with any details on her would be great.

Matira, not Matua, a 1956 Collings and Bell. Must have been one of the last built,
Now proudly owned by Steve Martin, and I think there is a large history posted on CYA.

I wonder what her original name was? Looks Oliver & Gilpin or a copy.
