Mullet Boat SoS
photos ex Tom Kidd & Nick Atkinson facebook page
Today’s post is a cry out to the owner of a Mullet boat that appears to have been abandoned at Te Atatu. The story goes something like this – a guy turns with the boat on a trailer 4 weeks ago & launches her at the bottom of Oliver Road so her planks could take up before he sailed it to Waiheke Island. Then he disappears & no one has seen him since. Talk is it will be chopped up soon if its not taken away.
Kidd Family (Harold & Tim) Input – the owner may be Mike Knuckley. And she was (tbc) built in 1904 by Fred Mann, sail # I-7. There is confusion as to her actual build date as there were 2 identical Mistletoe’s, one built in 1904 & the other in 1913.
So woodys – anyone know the owner? if so give them are rather big nudge.

Not sure that it is water that they serve at the Te Atatu boating club

What is it with Te Atatu, must be something in the water that makes people more optimistic about the state of their boat 😉

if it’s sinking on every tide, I feel he may have some more work to do before his Waiheke trip

What a shame.
Any contacts for the owner?
We have a barge Hiab etc will look at salvage if they need help.
Just don’t want to see her cut up.
