CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – EAGLE RAY
Today thanks for Robyn Kellian and Tobias Forsyth we get to see another launch from the Leigh region. The name on the helm seat reads – EAGLE RAY, and the photos are tagged – Wayne Collings. Given the bunting and ‘crowd’ we can assume this was launch day.
The shed / yard could possibly be at Whangateau, back when it was a public facility, available to the wider boating community.
Can we learn more about EAGLE RAY.
INPUT ex NATHAN HERBERT – A strip plank Greenwood so far as I know,. Photos below (as of today) ex Jason Prew

I know Rex Collings extremely well as he substantially built my 40ft Vindex TIARRI for me, so will check with him. — KEN R
