PIRATE (Karo)
The owner of Pirate, Bryce Armstrong, sent in the above photo of the 32’ Bob Swanson built launch. She was launched in 1977 and was the last launch Swanson built. The original owner in Picton finished the topsides
When launched she was named Karo and her hull is 1” kauri.
That woodys is all Bryce knows about the launch and he would love to find out more.
Any Southern woodys able to help out?

Topsides?? In small craft that’s the side of the boat between waterline and gunnel, NOT the superstructure. It’s different in big ships.
