MYSTERY NORTHLAND WOODEN KAURI LAUNCH
Todays woody popped up on tme late last year (thanks Ian McDonald), at the time the starting bid was $300, sadly it didn’t sell.
What we learnt was she was 18’ in length, built from kauri carvel planking, and there was a Lees Marine Ford engine in her. Her fittings must have been worth the asking price, but the location – Maungaturoto, Northland, would have put people off + no trailer in the sale.
Anyone know more about the launch and what became of her.

Lees Ford? What’s that yellow machine with “Cat Power” on it then? 🙂
