WAIPAWA AK83 – A Peek Down Below
The ex work boat (Waitemata Fisheries) Waipawa has made a brief appearance on WW back in 2016 (WW link below) Now thanks to Ian McDonald’s road trip in the Far North we get to have a look down below.
The photos above show her on the hard at Opua, in mid October. The 50’ Waipawa was built by Percy Vos and her owner Pete McIntyre, understands she was launched in 1940).
She gets around, having recently been up to Fiji & Tonga, And to Fiordland / Stewart Island.
A proper wooden boat from a proper boatbuilder.
