WHERE IS SHE TODAY?

Today’s boat, isn’t a mystery boat as we know that it was owned by one of the Allen family (owners of the launch Tiromoana & the C class yacht Tuirangi in the later 1940s-50s) & was probably belonged to Henry Allen’s son in law Joe Coggan.
The photo was taken in front of the family’s business premises at that time in Manukau Rd Epsom opposite Epsom Girls Grammar. Photo emailed in by Ken Ricketts.

Can we put a name to her to & what became of her ?

  1. The first owner was a vicer that was a very good friend of my grandfather witch asked for his advice and he said to him if you ever want to sell her give me first option and so he did only a year after he had it build . It was uncle jack that had the C class.
