In February this year for 50 bucks I bought Moki, a launch built (at a guess) some time in the 1920s. The NZ kauri hull is in perfect condition, though the rest is shot. She's been kept at Phillipa's house since then (see here).
On Friday, along with Sean and the sponsor, we cut top of the cabin off, which, along with a lot of the rest of the superstructure, is rotten through. Phillipa is using the timber to pit fire some of her pottery next weekend in her back yard.
Here are some pics of the operation, along with some on Saturday in the light of day.
Crofts are bringing her up to the house on Friday, where the rest of the deconstruction and restoration will happen.
