erice 732 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 On completion of sailing, the engine, fuel tank, mast and all fittings, sails etc will be removed, air bags fitted in the main hull and pontoons and the vessel overturned on a beach near Tutukak. A hole approx 1x1 mtrs will be cut in the main hull. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-m ... 370836.htm Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 521 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 No no a sensible safety film about the dangers of sailing multihulls. Actually she looks identical to the boat that came ashore by Ngapipi road about 1987 -89 and was patched up on the hardstand at Okahu Bay over a couple of years, though she was glass not ply - but ended up with new floats amas?

ex TL systems 63 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 yes i looked at it for sale a few years ago. I see the asking price has gone up by 4 k already, looks a lot like rose noelle, just paint it yellow .I just been looking at the book and i think I could play the main part.

I was there!! Okahu bay was our home( haulout) for a month or so every year for 20 odd years. Hell , if I had a dollar for every boat I saw that was wrecked on that sea wall I could probably buy a bottle of cheap rum. or at least gin. Link to post Share on other sites
John B 119 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That whole Rose Noelle thing was pretty amazing , you know she only wrecked around the rocks by Rosalie bay thereabouts , maybe a bit back North.. another mile or two and she would have made it through Colville channel.

erice 732 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Abandoned screens on TV One, Sunday, 8.30pm Abandoned dramatises the much-recounted story of how, in 1989, the trimaran bound for Tonga from Picton was overturned by a freak wave and the four men aboard spent a tense 119 days adrift before coming ashore on Great Barrier Island. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=11503072 Link to post Share on other sites
