CLASSIC WOODEN WORK BOAT – MANAROA  BF.8 305

Todays classic wooden boat – MANAROA popped up on the NZ Cars, Boats …..before 1999 fb recently. Hands down one of the prettiest workboats to grace WW.

The poster Noor E Bidduth commented that MANAROA operated as a fishing vessel as part of the Riverton fishing fleet, during the 1970’s and at the time was skippered by Dennis McManaway.

We learnt nothing about her design / builder but a gent named Tas Beer commented that she went ashore on the Solander Islands > Hautere (the biggest in the group of 3), in Foveaux Strait, Southland and was lost.

Can we learn more about her builder etc and confirmation on her demise.
