| Naval
whaler Number 324 Built 1975Dev N Z Built by Jeff Cook and Bob Huntington while doing there apprenticeships at the NZ Naval dock yard in Auckland NZ. Two whalers were sold to Ian Uwen Street by the NZ Navy. He loaned one to Queen Charlotte College and the other one to Britannia sea scouts in Wellington. After some years he was contacted by the collage who no longer wanted her. Ian had heard about me through a friend of his and contacted me in 2001 and gave her to me to restore as she needed re-ribbing and re-painting and had a 3 inch hog in the keel |

She was at Queen
Charlotte college in Picton with some of her rigging and boat cover.

She attracted
a lot of attention while waiting for the ferry to take her home
the ferry crews all seamed to have sailed in the whalers at some
time which was fine by me as I was first on the linx and first of
and on the bridge most off the way home. Work done She is up on blocks and tied to the roof of a lean-to ready to re-rib. The first 16 ribs are in ready to rivet the hog has been pushed out and some of the paint has been removed. The center case has been rebuilt and is ready to go back in. |
