FLUMDY – Looking For Help Identifying This Wooden Boat
WW was recently contacted by Dion Allott in regard to his 28’ launch – FLUMDY.
Dion purchased FLUMDY approx. 6 years ago from a gent named Steve who was the yard manager at Pier 21 at the time. FLUMDY was previously owned by a lawyer who left NZ for the USA and didn’t pay her fees.
Dion moored her at Little Shoal Bay, Auckland for a couple of years — and now she is on his front lawn for re-caulking and restoration. Her hull is single planked, caulked and ribbed kauri.
Other than what is recorded above, Dion knows nothing about the vessel and is asking if any of the WW readers can help with any information etc etc about her.

I read the post a second time having first thought there was a new owner, as she was going to wrack and ruin at Little Shoal under the same ownership?
I wonder what the grey paint is on the sides? Warning in case it’s Primocon or the Altex equivalent; when it’s applied above the waterline anything you put over it will fall off soon enough.
I recently had a brainwave about this boat as to her history but didn’t do anything about it as the way she was looked after didn’t really suggest interest and I thought she may have been cut up. I’ve forgotten what it was now but may come back to me.
