GWENELDA

I was recently sent the above photos of the launch – Gwenelda, by Mike Shaw, along with a note saying that a friend of his had bought the boat in Whanganui and knew nothing about the woodys history.

Can anyone help out and shine some light on this old girl? There appears to be a nice hull below that timber shed 🙂

The previous owner did have a couple of photos. Seems that she originally lived in Wellington and was once an open boat. At some stage shortened somewhat at the stern. Confirmed by the looks of her transom. Regards, Keith
