TALUA
Built by Colin Wild for J. R. Butland. Yes was almost a sister ship to Rehia. Above are press clippings supplied by Russell Ward (ex Harold Kidd) recording the launchings of both vessels, you can see the similarity. The colour photo was taken a few years back when she was on Orams sales marina. Some how a glasshouse appears to have been dropped on top of her 😦
My good news of the day is that Rehia has been sold & has a new owner who has just joined the CYA, so she is back in the ‘club’ 🙂

Spotted today on a mooring at Parua Bay looking very tidy. No name visible, and glasshouse painted white now

She was another of the bridgedeckers that was lengthened a few feet. Only ever saw her the once -on offer at Orams when I took the picture
