What do we know about Karatihi?

Input from George Janis – Karathi built at Craft Construction, Balena Bay, wellington for a Mr Jos Paul powered by 2 Morris Commodore marine engines. Moored out on the outer wall Oriental Bay boat harbour.
And later went to Marlborough Sounds where the owner owned a guest house just inside Tory Channel, where is she now. She was Athol Burns designed.
