Mystery Launch 14-05-2023
Back in January Eric Sanderson sent me a folder of random woodys – no names, no location or dates. Eric ‘recently’ restored the 33’ ex work-boat – Quest, re-launched May 2022. Quest is a very stunning woody, built in 1959 by Roger Carey, one of her many features is a canoe stern.

In the folder mentioned above was the launch berthed along side Moana, in my eyes a rather fetching craft.
With that raked mast it does look a little familiar – can you put a name and some provenance to her.

An apostrophe between alongside and Moana makes it clear enough.
I too think she’s been known by another name, but that particular brain cell is having a day off.

Perhaps we have some confusion with the Bermuda Triangle!!!!!! –KEN R
