From my notes out of the Herald. 20/1/36 page 8 There is a photo taken from starboard quarter of the “First launch on Kawau Sandspit run”. I drew it, above, forgive my artistry, judging from KenRickets sculling photo this could well be KORORO. I note too, in the early 30s Williams up in the Bay of Islands ran a KORORA, I wonder whether these are the same?
