Very Salty Double Ender At The Viaduct

Brett Evans sent in the photo above of what appears to be a recent restoration / refit of a double-ender that is currently berthed in Auckland’s Viaduct. Apologies in advance if she has been on WW before – but with no nane or details, its impossible to search for her. 

Can we learn her past and who has undertaken the recent work

  1. Bonita is the Spanish word for pretty or cute – this is an appropriate name.
    Bonito is the name for Skipjack Tuna – also appropriate name for a fishing boat.
    Bonitto is I think a misspelling but hey anything seems to go for boat names.

  5. Someone can hold their head in pride. There’d be a place for her on the CYA marina surely.
    That is a fine rebuild and looks just great. No boxy sheds coming from that shop.
    BZ -well done that man. But what name? A good boat should have a name born with pride. Bet it’s a good name and not named for the owners favourite tipple.
