A nice little launch getting some TLC, the location would have to be Orakei Basin, possibily in front of the boat sheds?. You have to love the attire, jackets even when painting. Now days it would be an old College Rifles rugby jersey.

Any one ID the boat?

Update from Harold Kidd

I don’t think it’s the Orakei Basin, but Beaumont Street. The cabintop obscures the buildings in St Mary’s Bay itself but the characteristic 2 storey house behind it can be seen (Charlie Collings house?). I reckon the slip may be Bailey & Lowe’s or the VCC’s. At left is the discharge end of the AHB suction dredge. The neat little launch could be built by any Auckland builder of course. I would think there’s a good chance she was a flushdecker originally and has had two add-ons.
