LADY EILEEN

Shipbuilders / SupaCraft launch, built in 1947 has been sold & her new owner, Hylton Edmonds, is a very passionate classic woody. In fact he already owns the historic game boat Zane Gray.
She has left Auckland & is now in a shed in Whangarei for the start of an extensive ‘rolling’ restoration. Ultimately her new home will be Tapu Point, Russell, BOI.

ps Hylton has assured me the restoration work on Zane Grey will continue in tandem with LE

    1. What can go wrong, will go wrong.
    2. Everything takes longer.
