FALCON PONUI CIRCA 1948 P1120385

FALCON. This 1948 photo by Ken Ricketts of her on her moorings in Chamberlain Bay, Ponui Island highlights how original she still is today. This photo was when she was owned by the original owner George Chamberlain. This was when she still had the Scripps petrol engine.
The Chamberlains only really used her for transport to Auckland & around the  island. She is a wonderful example of Lanes craftsmanship & is currently for sale – see link below

Boats like Falcon do not appear for sale often, this one has the plus of being owned by James Mobberley, Auckland’s foremost classic launch engineer (Moon Engines) for the last 12 years.

Neptune

Neptune – designed & built 1956 by Fred Lidgard at Kawau Island. Her owner tells us he uses her more as a motor launch than a yacht, so here she is :-). The interior is quite special as well, we will cover that in the future.
