MOEROA

The double ender Moeroa first made an appearance on WW back in June 2021 https://waitematawoodys.com/2021/06/02/moeroa/

In this story Harold Kidd commented that translation in Maori of Moeroa is ‘Long Sleep’ and that in the past during a paint scraping exercise the name – Wikaro was uncovered. 

She recently popped up on tme (thanks Ian McDonald), so we now know a little about her – 32’, built c.1912>15 and powered by a Nissan TD23 70hp diesel engine.

The listing states that the boat has suffered some damage to the bow (timber and capstan) and that the photos are from earlier when her paint had been ‘refreshed’, so needs some TCL.

Home is on the Manukau Harbour, so a wee lift and road trip would be required if the Waitemata was an intended home.

A very salty looking woody that deserves a new life / owner.
