KORORA SOS

Over the weekend I was alerted to an old woody – Korora that is about to have a date with a chainsaw. Tim Merkens advised that he believes the boat was launched in 1938 and built by Lanes at Totara North. Hull is 1 1/4” kauri planking. Harold Kidd has commented that she was built in Russell or Opua for a J.B. Williams in Dec 1927. Either way she is an old girl that deserves to be saved.

The clock is ticking – currently located at Harbourside Boat Works, Whangarei and the chainsaw date results from approx. 6 years unpaid storage fees.

Anyone looking for a project or even parts / timber – contact the yard on 09 438 9907 SOON.
