RONAKI – ANOTHER CLASSIC WOODY NEEDING SAVING
There is a fb page titled – ’Sitting there rotting, help save me’ which has a NZ version. Recently a gent named Bill Webb posted seeking anyone that might be interested in his 30’ mullity named RONAKI (note – boat most likely 28’ in length)
Bill states that RONAKI was built in 1903 and is still a solid boat thats has a lot of history behind her.
Bill also commented that she needs a new home asap and its his view that it wouldn’t take a great deal of work to get her looking beautiful again.
RONAKI has been out of the water about 3 years.
There is no mention of price – its not ‘free to a good home’, so being located in Waihi it will be a big ask to find a buyer.
There is some colourful chat on the fb page – worth a visit 😉
