CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH REHIA GETS SOME UNPLANNED TLC
Post an oops (non skipper related) at the recent Auckland wooden boat festival, REHIA needed an appointment at the Jason Prew beauty salon at the Slipway Milford yard.
This 1938 woody is a showpiece of Colin Wild’s design and build team and a big nod to her owners who present her in magnificent condition.

My friends Bill & Phil Ryan, owners from the 1940s to about the 1980s, would be so absolutely blown away, if they could see their beautiful boat, she is still absolutely totally original & just as Colin Wild built her, around 1938 — KEN R (edited AH)
