Taihoa 0 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Anyone in Wellington who does boat relocations? I’m looking for someone to bring my Mummery 37’ from Tauranga to Wellington sometime over the next two months. She is a capable boat and I have spent summer sailing her around the upper north island, but I have a young family and don’t want to do the coastal trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Brunton 0 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Not in Wellington but flights are cheap..Depends on dates Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taihoa 0 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi Paul, Very flexible on dates. I really just wanted her down before April. What would you charge for a trip like this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carvana 0 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Hi I was wondering if you found someone to sail the boat, would it be possible to inquire if they would be happy to take on 2 novices to gain experience as we have a dream of sailing around the world but need the experience first, we did look into boating clubs but some of my parents friends that used to sail said the best way is to get out there and experience it first hand thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taihoa 0 Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 I think her name was Taku hoa back in the day. Was your father the guy that had her built? I heard he imported fitted sheets or something? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wild violet 38 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Dad bought her in the early eightys met the builder on the Great Barrier reef,he called out I built that boat mum replied well the bloody decks leak.He came over for a yarn later.Boat was leaking badly where thecwooden decks joined the hull every passage everything inside got soaked even my schoolbooks whick pleased me as I hated them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taihoa 0 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 Ha. Yeah, I met the builder in the Bay of Islands. He very slowly paddle boarded around the boat and then came over a said that he had built her. She was one of the first rolled steel boats that McMullin and Wing had built and went well over time and over budget. The decks are all glass over ply now and sound as. No leaks!

wild violet 38 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Thats great to hear she sails really well dad used to sail her really hard,we blew 3 sails going up the west coast of the north island,had to call into totara north to get them repaired,One wave went straight through the mainsail.To be fair the weather was sh*t and we were bashing in to it.Did 10000 miles in her in 18 months.Have very fond memorys of her.
