Tarepo - 36' Stillwell Bridgedecker



I'm a big fan of old classic boats and what better place to start than one that's in the family. My father owns this lovely old launch, Tarepo, based on the Marlborough Sounds.


At 36 feet long, she's perfect for cruising around and weekending.

A bit bedraggled when he bought her early in 2006 (top photo), she's having a spruce up and is already being well used.


One day I'll finsh playing with sailboats and get myself a launch instead...or as well.
