CLASSIC 1950’S WOODEN LAUNCH – TAMAROA 

We last saw TAMAROA on WW back in 2022 , link below  https://waitematawoodys.com/2022/04/12/tamaroa-in-the-bay-of-islands/

Early in the year she made an appearance on tme (thanks Ian McDonald) and this enabled us to get afresh look at some of the enhancements.

Briefly overview of what we know – 46’, Collings & Bell launched in 1954, powered by twin 120hp Nissan diesel engines. She had a new kauri hull fitted about 15 years ago up to the water line.

Interested to learn if she sold and if so where she resides now.

SUMMER WAS A TAD AVERAGE BUT AUTUMN GETS A BIG ✔️

Had a lazy weekend at Rakino Island, condition perfect – as expect Woody Bay was packed and zero woodys, but West Bay was the better anchorage.

If you like gin – try PAPA SALT – Coastal Gin, seriously good and the sea glass bottle ilooks the part on a classic wooden boat 😉
