LADY LUCK – A Peek Down Below + 4sale
Todays woody is – Lady Luck, a 36’ Roy Parris launch, built in 1961 from kauri planks. With a 10’6” beam Lady Luck is very spacious and has 6 berths, and a rarity on a 36’ vessel – separate shower and head.
Forward motion is via a 6 cyl. Ford 120hp diesel that gets her along at a comfortable cruising speed of 8 knots. From her tme listing she appears to be well fitted out in terms of utilities – instrumentation, auto anchor, frig/freezer, hot (gas) shower, solar charging and more.
Home port is Thames. Booked for annual haul out and anti-fouling.
Advancing years necessitates her owners locating a new custodian for Lady Luck. Interested parties in the first instance should contact Bruce Fulton 021 857255 – email b.fulton@xtra.co.nz

She was in the Milford creek in the 80s under the name of Lady Patrica owned by B Warwick.I lined the deck head with formica and changed the main two piece windscreen to a three piece and put the flybridge on but not the hard top

I was told years ago by a boat broker that every owner adds a foot on. How true..

In the mid 60s she was owned by Bert Hammer and I had always thought her to be 34 feet. She had a Morris Navigator petrol motor in her at that time. Bert introduced our family to the joys of the Hauraki Gulf and he was largely responsible for the the world circumnavigation we subsequently did in Caernarvon II.
