SIMPATICO

Hopefully when you read this I’ll be enjoying breakfast aboard Raindance somewhere near Waiheke Island, having had an enjoyable day / evening at the Woodys Classics BBQ & Pizza lunch at Little Oneroa,

Today’s woody has been sitting in my files for a while, waiting for a lazy day e.g.when I’m afloat. So here goes…………

Simpatico was built in 1968 to a Henry Shield design. She measures 42’ in length and has a Ford 120hp diesel pushing her along at a cruising speed of 7 knots.

For sale on tme, she is a very big girl BUT woodys………………… that hothouse has to go 🙂

Iv’e seen her around but feel she has been renamed & the coamings may have been extended at the back end — as well as the addition as referred to by Alan added later. — KEN R
