LAKE TAUPO CLASSIC WOODY LAUNCH – ROMANCE – GETS SOME TLC
Todays woody story is really prompt to Paul Drake the owner of the Lake Taupo based 1914 Bailey & Lowe built launch – ROMANCE to send in a story on the recent upgrade.
If it had not been for woody Steve Pople (MV Royal Falcon) recently mooching around the Lake Taupo docks we wouldn’t have know she had received some TLC.
So fingers crossed Paul reads todays story and gets his ‘A into G’ 🙂

Cheers to the Drakes. Keep up the good work!
Hope she retains the Chrysler and Feltham. (Been years since I heard that brand.) Nice and quiet to the crew. Fresh water is much kinder to old machinery than salt ever was: especially when they are taken ashore and stowed under the house.
So much easier for the crew to live with despite the worry of fires.
Cheers once more.
