TOKATEA – A Classic Workboat Conversion
The 44’ launch TOKATEA started life back in 1959 as a Government fishing patrol and lighthouse tender, built by WG Lowe. TOKATEA was ‘retired’ in 1987 and converted to pleasure use.
While still retaining her workboat roots the interior fit out is rather smart, certainly providing a home away from home afloat.
Forward motion is from a 100hp Gardner 6LW engine.

TOKATEA was once owned by WW contributor Ian McDonald. Home these days is Waikawa Marina, South Island.
