NERRIDA
The 30’ kauri launch – Nerrida was built in1969 by Shipbuilders. Forward motion is via reconditioned Ford 110hp 6 cyl. diesel Ford 110hp 6cyl diesel As per a lot Shipbuilders craft she has a semi workboat look to her.
While the interior fit out looks like they used the same people that do the Fullers ferries, there has been a lot of recent work done. From the number and size of all the chilly bins, the seller must be a serious fisher-person.

Just looked at Nerrida on web we owned a Shipbuilders boat from 2000 to 2011 named Nerrida and everything about the boat looks the same as we had, things in the same place etc – but upgraded looks magic. I hope it is the same boat as it needed what has been done. Cheers Des Dew
