AWA MANU
photo & details ex Pam Cundy, Harold Kidd & Zac Matich
Awa Manu is 32′ loa, built by Dick Lang & powered by a Perkins P6. One of her previous owner, Neil H would like to know a little more about her & her current whereabouts.
Neil sold her approx. 20 years ago. When Neil had her, paper work on board led them to believe she may have been previously named Pasadina.
She was owned by the Going Brothers and game fished out of Tutakaka.
In a post in the ww comments section, Zac Matich advised that she is owned by Royce Powell of Whangarei & in a shed at Kauri (Kauri Point, Tinopai ??)
Can we confirm / expand on the above?

Thanks Zach. I shall make sure I get the message passed on this time. I think you had given a surname of the folk with her at Kauri in the other posting?

I shall pop around to Neil’s in a couple of days time and get some details from him.
Thank you for putting her up on a post of her own Alan. I shall take the I pad with me to show them.
