CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – MATIRA – A Peek Down Below

The 45’ 1956 Collings & Bell built launch MATIRA has made several appearances on WW but we have never had a good gander down below.

Some info: Designed by Alex J Collings, she has a 11’ beam and draws 3’6”. Built from kauri, single skin, carvel planked. In recent years MATIRA was re-powered with twin Yanmar 110hp engines.    

MATIRA is one of those classic woodys that looks perfect from all angles and looks fast even when at anchor.
