MARE-EE-AN
Last week WW was contacted by Tim Munro enquiring about a 16’ run-about that his father-in-law, Bryan McLeod, built early 1960’s. The vessel was to a design by Carl Augustin and built in his farm wool shed. Bryan used the run-about regularly into the 2000’s, particularly on the Kaipara Harbour which his farm backed onto but he also took it into a few events on the Waitemata Harbour, as seen in the photo above.
Bryan passed away last year in his mid 90s and the family are getting the boat refurbished.
The reason for Tim’s email to WW and todays question is – does anyone have a copy the Carl Augustin plans that Bryan will have used for the build. And /or is there anyone that has an interest in the designer that Tim could chat to.
UPDATE 10-08-2023 – WW Rocks – Cam Malcolm at The Slipway Milford has a set off full plans and build instructions- photos below just to show the detail included.

Carls son Ron took over building and designing but not sure if he is still around but he used to be my neighbour in Kelston, Auckland. Would be in the phone book if there still is such a thing. Beaubank Rd!

Just a thought, but does the Maritime Museum have the Augustin plans? IIRC the old “Seaspray” magazine used to sell them – a long time ago.
