DORINA – Almost free to a good home

Now if that names rings a bell that is because the launch Dorina has been an SOS on WW before, check out the story below – its a doozy  https://waitematawoodys.com/2021/04/30/mystery-project-launch-2/

Yesterday a WW follower sent me the images above and the message – a project for winter ? After all its been thru, it deserves another chance.

Sorry don’t have a contact – but I would suggest a call to the Te Atatu Boating Club would help find the owner 😉
