MAKO

Last weekend at the 2015 Lake Rotoiti Classic & Wooden Boat Parade – I spotted a boat in the parade that really caught my eye. Named Mako, owned by Paul Adams from Tauranga. There was no details listed for her in the parade directory so I asked the organisers if they had any details on hand. They sent me what Paul had supplied them – the copy below & a b/w photo – something tells me Paul has a sense of humour 🙂

“It is a narrow wooden boat with inboard motor, built of Kauri in 1924 at Okawa Bay Boatbuilders.
It is lacking maintenance ,so not presented as well as it should be!”

I took these photos at the picnic & you can see why she appeals to me.
Needs a little TLC but the bones are there.
Anyone able to shed some more light on her past?
