Hi,
I believe Annalisa is the launch formerly known as Maybelle. If so, she was built by Ken Turner of Coromandel. Kel New (my father), thinks (but is not 100% sure) she may have been designed by Dick Laing. A little more here, from when / was searching for her in 2016:

It’s great to see her with a new patron / guardian, and being cared for! May she be well maintained and give many years of pleasure, to all who voyage on her.
Despite my very young age, I still retain very happy memories of being on Maybelle in the early ’70’s, when my grandfather Henry (Harry) New cared for her.

The Nevada which I photographed on the slip at Dargaville is similar to this vessel. Nevada is much shorter in length but I wonder if she could also be a Roy Parris boat.
