This looks like the Yachting World “Jenny Wren” design motorsailer by Arthur Robb about 1947. Spindlemolded strip Kauri with a deeper keel than plan. Builder unknown. Name at the time “Harry”. It had large bilge plates which I reduced to about 800 long ; enough to let it dry out inside Waiheke.I had it moored at TeAtatu, Auckland and sold it about 20 years ago.Warren Crook, Waiheke Island.
