WEE PAT – STUDIO 88
Well I suppose its still afloat and providing a waterfront home to her owner but ………………..
Todays ‘woody’ is according to her tme listing – 46’ in length, launched in1935, and built from kauri carvel construction.
There is mention of her once being a mussel trawler in the Coromandel, and possibly spent time in Auckland and the Kaipara Harbour.
These days she is best described as a house boat, not to my taste but there is always the chance that someone will fall in love with her and take her under their wing. Or maybe a prop on a movie set.
