FIESTA – B.O.I.
Dean Wright sent in the above photo of the launch – Fiesta. Dean commented that she has lived at Waipiro Bay, Bay of Islands for a while now. The ‘hothouse almost gets a WW tick, very nice proportions, colour and design. In fact if the owner contacts me – waitematawoodys@gmail.com I’ll give them a WW T-shirt. I’ll need some proof of ownership – eg more photos / details:-)
What do we know about her?
Heads up, don’t get confused with the 31′ sedan topper, built in 1964 by Phillip Lang, also named Fiesta, that lives on the Panmure River. Details on that one at the WW link below https://waitematawoodys.com/2016/01/07/mystery-launch-4/
Fiesta is of Shipbuilders pedigree, Roy Steadman I believe who also built Corinthia for my father Morton Brown in the mod 60’s. Dad also owned Carolina ( sister ship to Corinthia ). he renamed her Manukura. Cheers Jeremy Brown
