COLLEEN MYSTERY LAUNCH 20-08-2019
Today’s featured launch has been keeping both Nathan Herbert and myself awake at night, we are both positive we have seen it before – either on WW or the CYA forum or trademe – but just can not find it nor remember her name / details.
The photo comes to us from Andy Donovan’s boat broking photo collection.
On face value she would most likely (oops starting to sound like Ken R) be from the drawing board / shed of A. Couldrey.
Can anyone ID her for us?. A 100% positive ID (the first one recorded in the WW comments section) wins a waitematawoodys cap, these are new to the WW gear locker and are not on sale yet.
06-03-2021 Input From Harold Kidd – COLLEEN was designed for Charles Aspden by Arnold Couldrey in 1933 and built by Couldrey (with help from Aspden). Link below to previous WW story and photos – make sure you read the comments section.

She certainly has the EP look particularly if you ignore the waterline mark that looks like a chine but isnt.
