NANA – SOS
The launch Nana popped up on tme 4sale by boat yard as a ‘As-Is-Where-Is’ sale.
Someone needs to snap her up – she has blue blood – designed by C. Bailey Jnr. , and built in 1934 by Chas Bailey & Son . 35’ in length and a very pretty woody.
Nana has appeared on WW several times – back in Feb 2017 she had just been repaired after being t-boned on her mooring by a wayward vessel. Link to that story with lots of pictures here https://waitematawoodys.com/2017/02/01/nana-resuced-restored/
I very rarely post links but check Nana out here https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/motorboats/listing/4199572782?tm=email&et=47&mt=16373835-5D46-4FFE-A44C-B8ECA6A92162&bof=hzam1Goh
Be quick woodys – someone will score a bargain. Starting bid is $5k. Photos below from 2017.
(Thanks Ian McDonald for the heads up)

Any thoughts on the motor currently in Nana, is it a Ford?
The engine is a Ottosan 130hp Ford, sourced from the Arethusa ex Bay of Islands, when she was repowered with a Gardner. Alan H

Some may be interested that the scow Success has arrived in Kaiapoi. A pity that the Alwin G Restoration Trust didn’t find out beforehand that she was built as
