Mystery Wooden Boats – Lake Manapouri

Booked Your Woody In For Its Annual TLC?
Talking last week to a couple of yard managers + marine engineers and given the knock-on effect of the CV-19 lock-downs the work diaries are VERY full, in fact depending on what you want done, there is a strong chance you will miss out.

  1. The boat behind the Sea Prince is the Elaine, is now a fishing boat at Bluff, the one to the left is a boat that was owned by Bob Murrell. Picture was by Gladys Goodall about 1959.

  2. The boat with people on it, is the Sea Prince which ended up as a fishing boat at Stewart Island. Unfortunately it disappeared off it’s mooring during a storm, never to be seen again.
