I am intrigued to know why there weren’t more boats built in the style of Waimega, as it’s very pleasing to the eye and it’s the perfect Gulf boat. What happened in the late sixties to bring on far less attractive styles such as the Vindex, a good boat – but….. not a patch on the Waimega style of launch. Cheers

Hi Alan,

I suspect it is Waimega. The wine is the clue ….the owner goes for the lesser labels!!!!!

Talk soon,
