Ngatira

Posted on May 3, 2013 by Alan Houghton - waitematawoodys.com founder

NGATIRA
Designed & built by Chas Bailey Jnr. 1904

One of the many things I like about Steve Horsley (Ngatira)is he does not hold back on putting his pride & joy into the nasty stuff, but when you have rebuilt her with your own two hands, you can back the workmanship. To view the story of Ngatira’s restoration click on this link, its a great tale.

Seems all the earlier photos have dropped off somewhere Alan. Let me know if they’re still lurking on the CYA server or if I need to resend.
