John B 106 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Sure ,its Ngahau, It may still be with us , I saw a photo circa 2008 up norf but she's just a hull shell. What would you like to do ,Quarterback? More history? I can put you in touch with Harold Kidd? A mate owns B2 and I own B3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This is what she looked like about 06 ? 08 perhaps . Whether she's still there or not I don't know. A friend took the pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John B 106 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Yes it is Rigger , I could probably find out where. Pete Brookes ( boatbuilder) took the photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rigger 47 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Pony More was telling me about her a few years back, apparent condition appeared to be poor - cannot remember all he told me. Not too far from Whangaroa... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 if someone up there can come up with a road name it might even show on google earth google search flipped up this from 2008 The remains (Hull & Keel) of the above are sitting on a farm at Kaeo and are available for sale for the value of the lead in the keel. I have the owners name and phone number if anyone is interested. ....Brad Topp is at 09 405 0157. He lives on a farm just south of Kaeo but the boat is on another farm nearby. ....The owner is less than interested in tyre kickers and their attention is counterproductive. If someone is REALLY serious about Ngahau (as any right-thinking fellow should be), contact me at harold at ktmlaw.co.nz. Cash deposit to owner would do wonders! http://classicyacht.org.nz/cyaforum/topic/ngahau-1892-logan-38ft/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
