Tandarra

Posted on January 19, 2023 by Alan Houghton - waitematawoodys.com founder

TANDARRA

Todays launch is named Tandarra and was spotted by Barbara Cooke in the Bay of Islands. A total mystery to me, and I hope its not a Vindex and has slipped under my classic radar 🙂

WOODY QUIZ (NO) WINNER

The answer to yesterdays quiz re naming the mystery boat yard and location is Ashton’s Boatyard, Ewing Road, Whangarei (c.1950>60)

Lots of people suggesting the Salthouse Greenhithe yard or Robertson’s on the Mahurangi River.

So no winner for the WW t-shirt and Lake Rotoiti Classic & Wooden Boat Calendar – will put them up again in the weekend with another quiz question.
