TE ANAU Marina Photo Bomb

TE ANAU MARINA. –  Photo Bomb

Todays gallery of woody craft comes to us from Jason Prew’s iPhone as he continues his 4×4 adventure. The venue is the Te Anau marina, on the shores of Lake TeAnau at the almost bottom of the South Island. Te Anau is the gateway to the Fiordland National Park and Milford Sound.

Spotted a couple of the L33 f/glass replicas , there always seems to be one where ever you look – nice craft, years ahead of the market.

At first glance you would have to assume the local chandlery doesn’t sell a lot of varnish 🙂

Can’t be too pleasant for the Chad Thompson organised NZ Classic Yacht Association classics taking part in the 3 day Spring Rally around the outer Gulf this weekend – thanks to Simon Cooper for sending in the photo below of the entire fleet just after the start off North Head on Friday morning.

  1. Hi Alan

    A sad situation has appeared on TM with a son over from the States having to sell off his father’s boat as he has passed away. He has been struggling with this and has re-offered the boat at an exceptionally low figure of $25K ONO to offload it prior to having to return home before Xmas. Thankfully he has fish on the hook and a couple who appear to be keen enough to help out on getting it sold – read the Questions and Answers part. Thought it may be of interest as it’s a Woody, thought to be circa 1958.

    Have a look at this listing

  2. Not too hard to guess the boat in the top shot is an O&G.
    The rugged looking launch 3rd from bottom on the right is pretty obviously an Athol Burns design, and her chainplates say she once had a mast and rig. Could she be “Turmoil”, I wonder?
    You have to wonder how (and why) some of these boats got there.
