GREAT BARRIER ISLAND WOODEN BOATS
The above photos were sent in by Glen Martin from a recent trip. The boat of main interest was STAR DRIFT that we have been keeping an eye on for several years – still no activity of note but the small fly-bridge has gone west at some stage – we like that.
Anyone able to put a name to the boat in the last photo.

Last photo is of Lady Isla. Slowly returning her timbers to the soil. Her wheelhouse has recently been removed it would appear. She was converted from a yacht for longlining by Buster Park, now deceased. Was powered by a four cylinder Gardener, model unknown.
