Virgo – 4sale

Posted on December 4, 2020 by Alan Houghton - waitematawoodys.com founder

VIRGO

And up pops another work boat conversation for sale on tme (thanks Ian McDonal). Virgo was built in 1963 from kauri by Jorgensen & Son in Picton and started life as a commercial fishing boat before being converted to pleasure use. Virgo is 39’3’ in length and powered by a 130hp Gardner 6LXB Diesel engine. Current home port is Waikawa marina, Picton, South Island.

Interested to learn when and who did the conversion and any other intel on the vessel.
