hi. I owned kelvin for about 8 years at Waikawa from the mid 1990s and much work was carried out on her including having the hull recaulked and new handrails made. Sadly a later owner let her deteriorate. Nice to see her cared for again. The old D series never failed to start. She came from Tauranga before me and had spend a lot of time at Great Barrier and down in Bluff. Shes about 12 tons, solid as and very reliable. Hope she finds a good home.
