MAO MAO

photo ex classicboatnz

We have had a lot of varnish lately on ww so todays photo is a b/w from the past. I love the posed look on the angler/skippers face, no sign of emotion. He has onboard a fish almost as big as his boat but he is looking very cool & collected.

Anyone know more about Mao Mao?

Harold Kidd Update

Only that she seems to have been based at Totara North.

PS she was owned by Henry Stonex of Russell. MAO MAO II was based at Totara North.

PPS Stonex, a retired Taranaki farmer, had her at Russell in the period 1936-39.
