Thanks to Ian McDonald we get to have a peek at the 39’, 1913 ex Oxley Hotel, work boat. Built in and for the Marlborough Sounds. In the 1950’s she was converted to pleasure use.

Built for double planked kauri, these days a 54hp Yanmar diesel pushes her along at a leisurely cruising speed of 8>9 knots.

Home port is Wellington. Currently for sale on tme.

Can any of the Southern woodys tell use more about Patina?
