Ione

Australian woody – Andrew Christie sent me details on this 34’ 1900 Logan launch he spotted for sale in NZ.

Don’t know her name, she may have appeared on WW before but doesn’t ring any bells with me, I think I would have remembered the large flat screen plasma TV’s on her cabin sides.
Zoom zoom is via a 60hp Ford diesel & single skin carvel planked.
 
Anyone able to put a name on her & confirm she is in fact a Logan?
In the comments section we have uncovered she is called Ione and Harold Kidd puts her as a 1909 Bailey & Lowe.

  1. IONE was actually built by David Reid in late 1909. The Bailey & Lowe connection is only because they supplied the 12hp Sterling engine. First owner W.R. Wilson of Mahurangi. Later carried schoolchildren on Whangaruru Harbour.

  2. Tony, the history of your boat is very well documented and you’ve been given it before, multiple times. It’s not a Logan, it’s not a Bailey. I seriously doubt she was the fastest in NZ, there’s lots been claiming that title recently including an old mullet boat. The word restoration is thrown around a lot by people doing paint jobs….
