MYSTERY WOODEN LAUNCH AT TE KOUMA – SALT
Well woodys todays photo is a tad left field , sent in by one of my spies that is mooching around the Coromandel / Te Kouma area on his plastic fantastic launch – but he’s forgiven buying the launch as in a previous life he owned one of smartest classic launches afloat on the Waitemata.
A mix of styles and material on display, a hint of ‘dory’ in the hull shape. Not seen on the Waitemata harbour so maybe a Coro / Thames craft. Hopefully one of the mud dwellers can enlighten us.

That’s my dad’s launch and yes from Kaiaua. He built it from a hull frame, was a labour of love for many years, he hasn’t taken it out in a while so good to have it back out and running 🙂
