BLUE FIN
photos & details ex Harold Kidd
The above photo of Blue Fin is from the Tudor Collins Bay of Islands game fishing collection*. She was built in 1948 by the Lane Motor Boat Co for Sid Guest of Whangarei who had Meander built by Sam Ford in 1937.
Blue Fin was originally 38′ but was later lengthened by 4′. She had twin Scripps V8s originally.
*the images in the collection were bought at a flea-market by Sharon Knight who has made them available via Harold for all of ww followers to relish.

Bluefin is currntly moored on “C” finger of the Hobsonville Marina, i remember her as a charter boat in the BOI where i chartered her on a number of occasions for snapper fishing, in the late 6o’s.
