MARANOA
Woody Barry Abel snapped the above photo of Maranoa, moored in the Wairau River, Clevedon – as he was heading out recently. She appears to be long overdue for some TLC.
Reputed to be a McGeady design, she is listed here https://waitematawoodys.com/2015/03/31/fantasy-how-many-boats-did-mcgeady-build/ Below is a press clipping of a ‘International Marine’ 4sale advertisement, NZ Heard May 1991, seen hauled out at Clevedon.
Can anyone help in expanding on the boats past?

Same boat I believe. The aft of the two small windows is the door as evidenced by the handle

The boat in the old advert, is not the same boat, as the one the pile mooring, as the one on the pile mooring, has one small window, forward of the sliding door, & the one in the old add has 2 small windows forward of the door. — KEN R
