LADY BEV
Todays woody has just popped up on tme (thanks Ian McDonald) struggling to read the name, either – Lady B or Lady Bee. . Its Lady Bev
We do not know a lot about her other than. – designed and built c.1956 by Dave Jackson, using kauri planking. Approx 32’8” in length and powered by a 6cyl. Ford diesel engine.
Given she has been around for qpprox. 68 years we must be able to learn more about her.
INPUT ex HAROLD KIDD – The launch is LADY BEV built by Dave Jackson for himself in 1957 in timber. 30ft 9ins loa but lengthened by 3ft later. First engine was an Austin Skipper 100hp. Dave owned her for many years (and may still do?).

Dave owns the wooden vessel Karros which he built himself and still frequently uses, Karros can be seen in a previous WW article-Sandspit yacht club yard visit, where both vessels can be seen, Lady Bev is on a mooring just around the corner from Karros as also a common sight on Kawau Bay.
