grant 46 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The yacht Rakino, about 9 metres long, possibly a Woollacot design, was sunk as a result of coming off its mooring on 22 April 2016. She was damaged on a rock breakwater before being refloated and sunk to prevent further damage. The next day she was refloated and lifted out of the water. The Volvo engine (about 700 hours) has been professionally flushed and the starter motor and alternator removed and flushed. She has a single skin timber hull and there appears to be relatively minor hull damage consisting of one hole and other apparently cosmetic damage.. Most loose interior items have been removed (and kept) to enable better access for viewing and drying, there are several sails also. The Regional Council is calling of expressions of interest for a closed tender for this vessel. Any persons interested in tendering for the vessel would need to satisfy the Council that they had the means and ability to repair and maintain the vessel. Rakino is currently on the hard at Evans Bay Yacht and Motor boat club. Viewing prior to any commitment is encouraged and can be arranged by contacting the Harbourmaster’s office on 830 4160 during office hours. Link to post Share on other sites
