CLASSIC WOODEN LAUNCH – MOANA ROA (MAUREEN R) A Peek Down Below

 Back in August 2018 we Rana story on the 1957 Owen Woolley built 29’ launch MOAANA ROA (previously named MAUREEN R, then over time we received regular input and historical photos from WW readers as to her story, the last being in 2025, Link to that story here https://waitematawoodys.com/2018/08/27/maureen-r/

Fast forward to last week and thanks to Ian McDonald spotting a tme listing we now get to have a peel down below.

Appears to be a very smart, well presented classic wooden launch. Forward motion is from a Lees Marine Ford 60hp diesel engine.
