  5. My farther Bob Linton purchased Hinewai in Nelson in 1982. We took her to HMB in Auckland via East Cape and had many happy years cruising the East coast of the North Island. Still had the Cat when we owned her but we did replace the wood and coal range with a gas cooker.

  6. Nice to see her still looking really good! Really typical of Roger Carey’s work. I remember her taking shape at John Gander’s place at the corner of Waikawa Road. One of the many useful things she has done was to act as the outward pull on a drag-line, grading for the Waikawa Boating Club’s slipway.

  7. I love the earthy colours on the wheelhouse. The Mainlanders used to do that on the workboats. She had the big Cat diesel when she was up here. A lot of engine down there.
