PURSUIT – A Peek Down Below
Back in Feb 2020 we ran a short story on the 33’ launch Pursuit – at the time we uncovered she was deigned by Max Carter. Link to that story belowWW Feb 2020 https://waitematawoodys.com/2020/02/18/pursuit/
In late 2023 Pursuit popped up on tme , thank you Ian McDonald, and thanks to that we get to have a gander below.
Pursuit was built c.1964 from double diagonal kauri , then in the 1990’s she was glassed.
Her forward motion is via a Lees Ford 100hp diesel engine that gives a comfortable cruising speed of 7 knots.
Hopefully she found a new owner and fingers and toes crossed that the ‘block of flats’ on top has a appointment booked at the barbers 🙂
