TeoHANUI
In the above photo ex Lew Redwood, we she the launch Teo Hanui on the Waikato River in 1938. Workers or a pleasure trip? I suspect the long pole is for ‘managing’ the shallows.

HOW MANY MORE SUMMERS WILL YOU LET SLIP BY WITHOUT A BOAT …….
HOW MANY MORE SUMMERS WILL YOU LET SLIP BY WITHOUT A BOAT ………
Waitematawoodys has a sister – its called the Wooden Boat Bureau and we sell classic wooden boats – launches, yachts, big and small. We like to fly under the radar, as do most of our clients. Someone asked me what I did the other day – below sums it up (sounds a bit fluffy, in reality I just sell boats.
Inform and enthuse interest in the joys of owning and sailing traditional and classic wooden boats. And we do this by promoting partnerships between the boats, the sellers and the buyers, for the benefit of all. At the end of the day – its all about the boats, as most will out live their current owners.
To view a sample selection of classic woodys berthed at the virtual Wooden Boat Bureau dock, click this link – https://waitematawoodys.com/2020/10/17/buying-or-selling-a-classic-boat/
Myself and David Cooke (MV Trinidad) are almost always available to offer advice to sellers and buyers – in the interests of marital harmony – in the first instance email to the below
Lady Pamela – A Big Woody for not a lot of money
LADY PAMELA – A Big Woody for not a lot of money
When I mooching around the marina scooping out the launch – Pirate, I noticed a small 4sale sign of the rather king-sized woody – Lady Pamela. Now I know its outside of the ‘classic’ category but its wood – triple skin kauri. Lady Pamela is 60’ in length with a beam of 17’+. Power comes from twin Ford 150hp diesels, giving her a top speed of 11 knots. With a fuel capacity of 5000L (tbc) she is a serious long range cruiser.
Set up with eight berths LP would either be a perfect large family boat, a live-aboard base or maybe a group of serious fisher-persons could buy her as a syndicated floating man (oops can’t say that) bach.
You will see from the photos that the last owner of LP liked the colour mint green – now just close your eyes and imagine all that painted off-white, the boat would increase in value overnight. The owners want her sold, so all offers will be considered. If you are on the lookout for a boat like Lady Pamela – call David Cooke 027 478 1877 for a chat 😉
