AURORA II
photo & details ex John Burland
A little bit of a mystery boat to me but I’m sure someone will be able to shed some light on her.
Aurora II is a recent arrival in Mapua, Nelson, South Island. Moored in what officially is called Western Entrance to the Waimea Inlet. The last photo above gives you some reference to the location, the launch Katoa is in the foreground.
There appears to be a pretty savage tide running, you would want to be confident of your mooring set-up.

She was on TradeMe in 2014 at Lyttelton as a 35 footer built in 1927 by Collings & Bell. There must have been a name change or that information is a myth.
