Classic Wooden Boats At Kawau Island
At Sundays Stillwater woodys picnic I was chatting to boat builder Greg Lees and he showed me the above photograph (in its frame) of Mansion House Bay, Kawau Island that a neighbour had given him. Interesting that for once the bay is almost bare of yachts – maybe they were off racing at the time.
Are we able to ID some of the launches? I have numbered the boats in the b/w photo below + included a couple of blow ups of the photo, which may help.



Korama/Thetis – Looks like my Grandfather’s launch he had back in the 1970’s. Ken Ricketts will know all the history
