WOODEN LAUNCH AT GULF HARBOUR – ECHO

 WOODEN LAUNCH AT GULF HARBOUR ECHO

One of my Gulf Harbour spies sent in todays photo of the launch – ECHO, he spotted her late last year hauled out at the Gulf Harbour Marina in Auckland.

Now hopefully I’m right in saying its a woody, could be ply/f-glass or even worse pure white plastic…….

Her size lets her get away with the flying bridge and sun shade. Smart looking craft.

Can we learn more about ECHO.

INPUT ex ANGUS ROGERS – photos below taken during her pervious owners period.

UPCOMING AUCKLAND ON-THE-WATER BOAT SHOW – 5>8 MARCH
If your looking for classic wooden boats you will looking for a long time but if you need a new – tender, outboard, safety gear, bbq, electronics, VHF etc – this is the boat show for you. Personally I always seem to find something I didn’t know I needed for the boat 🙂 Its a very professional run show and a great opportunity to see the latest and greatest marine related goods – just do not buy a white plastic boat 🙂

LOCATION IS DOCKSIDE AT THE VIADUCT EVENTS CENTRE – DETAILS HERE https://www.auckland-boatshow.com

  1. Built around 1989 at Salthouse’s yard, solid timber glassed, powered (originally) by twin 200HP Volvos. My father seriously looked at purchasing her whilst still under construction. Beautiful vessel in typical solid Salthouse tradition
