CLASSIC LAUNCH – LADY GAZELLE – A Peek Down Below
The classic wooden launch LADY GAZELLE , designed by Jim Young,has made several appearance of WW, link below to those stories. https://waitematawoodys.com/?s=LADY+GAZELLE+&submit=Search
Sadly back in March 2023 during Cyclone Gabrille, LADY GAZELLE ended on the rocks in the Coromandel Harbour, photo below .
We next saw her in August 2023, being relaunched at Clevedon, photo below.
Today thanks to Ian McDonald spotting a tme post, we get to have a gander down below. The rebuild of LADY GAZELLE isn’t completely finished but it would be a great winter project and then you would be boating next summer.
Do not normally quote $$ but at around $25k its a bargain.

The launch IDOLON is sitting in a paddock just down the road from me with a cover over it
The hull has been professionally rebuilt and some of the deck and super structure is in place
It’s been in this state unfortunately for quite some time with no further progress
