Lake Rotoiti Mystery Launch -1956
Today’s launch is pictured on Lake Rotoiti, at Okere. The location will be very familiar to any of the woodys that have followed my annual pilgrimages to the Lake Rotoiti Classic & Wooden Boat Parade.
The photo dated Jan 1956 comes to us via Lew Redwood’s fb postings & shows a family heading out on the lake.
Any woodys able to ID the launch?
ps I would encourage you to scroll down & view yesterdays story on St George again, I added a lot of additional photos late yesterday to the story.

Appears to be the Beverly Anne or a sister?

Okere falls, as a guess maybe Waimata? same shape hull, length and cabin perhaps before extra windows were added and the sml dodger removed. It was on the lake before that date.
