SALTY LOOKING WOODEN LAUNCH – GREY TEAL

Woody John Dawson sent in the above photo of a very salty looking launch / maybe motorsailer named – GREY TEAL.  A friend of an ex work colleague of Johns owned her in Wellington but other than the photo and the boats name, thats all he knows. With those hills in the background, maybe on the Wairoa River (Clevedon).

So woodys can we learn more about GREY TEAL.

INPUT ex HUGH GLADWELL – She was built by Howard Greenwood at Whangateau. The first owner John Murray is standing in the cockpit on the launching day. She had a sloop rig and John used her for long lining out of Leigh
INPUT ex RUSSELL WARD – Location is Whangateau Traditional Boatyard.
