LADY ROSALIND – Classic Wooden Launch

Todays photo is another from the Tauranga City Library collection and is tagged ‘ Launch of LADY ROSALINE’ and woodys is all we known. Given the location and style of the vessel possibly a Oliver & Gilpin craft. Can we learn more about her.

04-07-2024 INPUT ex NATHAN HERBERT – now called Noelani, built by O&G designed by Woolley. Link to WW story on Noelani https://waitematawoodys.com/2022/10/29/mystery-opua-big-game-launch/ But what interests me is the flag on her mast with ‘Cynthia C’ on it, CC was a boat with a hull strikingly similar to My Girl’s which I’d love to track.

PORTS OF AUCKLAND CLAIMING MORE OF OUR HARBOUR

Once again Ports of Auckland are trying to expand their footprint, which means less harbour for us.

There is shareholder (thats us – joke) public meeting next week on Thursday at the RNZYS at 7pm.

If you are in Auckland and can make it – please do. We need to hear their plans and they need to hear / see our disapproval.
