PIRIMANU – Ready To Splash

We have been following the refit / restoration of the 28’ Salthouse built, A Couldrey designed, 1968 launch – Pirimanui – links below to the last few years stories on WW.

This week the Blair Boats yard advised that the day had come and she would be re-splashing later this week.

Stunning workmanship and hats off to her ’newish’ owner for the level of commitment to the project.

Fingers crossed we get to see some photos of Pirimanu post launching.May 2022 https://waitematawoodys.com/2022/05/16/pirimanu-a-peek-down-below/
