Must Have Been A Special On White Paint – Rag Doll
Todays woody is taking the decorating term – ‘White-On-White’ to the max 🙂
Built from double diagonal kauri (+ glassed….) she was launched in c.1972. A Bill Couldrey design, she measures approx. 34’ in length, with a beam of 11’3” and draws 2’7”. Powered by a 80hp Ford Diesel engine that gives her a comfortable cruise speed of 7.5 knots.
Being 4sale via a broker – of course there is no name mentioned or visible – can we ID the boat.
INPUT ex Nathan Herbert – todays woody is named Rag Doll – photo below of her before she was ‘modernised’ – photo also ex NH.

I prefer the modernisation. Looks better and gives more visibility.

Thanks Nathan for the photo of her when original. I did think, in her present state, she does not represent the lines of a Cauldry cabin

One of the images is taken leaving Gulf Harbour, so that should be a clue. — KEN R
