MANDALAY
photo from Dave Jackson
It is very hard to design a sub 36′ launch (I’m guessing on her length) that looks ‘right’ i.e. that all the bits work together, in proportion. This very smart launch (in my eyes) ticks most of the boxes.

Penny drops; so she’s sort of a sister-ship to Logan Nicks’ WAIHORA, built by Brin?

Looks to me as definitly 50s, or early 60s at the latest, as the build era — KEN RICKETTS

Have been studying the bow, — fflare,style & square portholes,, & cabin top, & my best guess is Alan Williams refer Juanite & Aoma, or as second guess, perhaps even Mc Geady — refer Alcyone, or Garth Lane refer Wanda II but I thjnk most likely Alan Willaims
