RESTORATION OF THE SOUTHERN WOODEN LAUNCH – NANCY LEE

Another woody story from my new hunting ground, the ‘Memories of Abel Tasman National Park’ fb page.

Todays classic wooden launch is named NANCY LEE and the photos come to us from a Sept 2020 fb post by Darryl Wilson, via John Burland.

At the time of the post the NANCY LEE was under going a restoration at the hands of Marc Wilson and Craig Hyland,the location of the work was Port Motueka Marine Services. Looks like a big labour commitment taking her back to bare wood.

Then in 2021 Margaret posted an update, as seen in the 4th photo above, but commented that there was a wee way to go before she is back in the Riwaka Estuary.

Can we learn what happened after 2021, did she get finished and if so where is NANCY LEE now.

AND PROMISE – NO MORE Abel Tasman stories for a while 🙂
