CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH DALAMORE 

CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH DALAMORE 

Back in nearly July, Sven Wiig shared with WW some photos from the Ryland family album, that had been shared with him. (FYI – Bill Ryland owned Sven’s boat – ARIANA c.1950’s. He fished her out of Wanganui. Bill owned her until sold in 1974. At the time of Bill’s ownership the boat was named – TE KAWAU)

One of the photos was of the vessel – DALAMORE, seen in the above photo cruising on the Wanganui River. At the time it was owned by Ted Ryland.

From the photo it appears to be a family day out, with two couples visible on deck / at the helm. An unusual view of the boat, no drones back then :- my guess – she is about to pass under a bridge, on which is the photographer. 

What do we know about DALAMORE.

  1. Hard to tell what she’s like with an image from that position.

    Needs a side or quarter view to evaluate her properly. – KEN R
