Boat for sale: photos of nb Waka Huia

 I wrote about our putting nb Waka Huia up for sale on this post: http://nbwakahuia.blogspot.com/2023/09/waka-huia-is-going-on-market.html

This post shows the photographs. You can see why we called the boat Waka Huia, the Treasure Box. John and Trish Woods who had the boat built and fitted it out, did an amazing job of it. And we have done our best to look after it while we have owned it. Its condition certainly belies its age, don't you think?

 OUTSIDE

The pram cover was new this year. The tunnel bands will be repainted in the next week or so.

 

The cratch and its cover were replaced in 2019. The bow flashes are being replaced this week.

The solar panels on display.

FROM THE STERN

THE GALLEY
 

The galley, view to the stern steps. On the port side, the butler's sink and freezer, stove and hob. Cupboards under the bench on the starboard side.

Cupboards over the bench. Larder fridge. Corridor to dinette.

The larder fridge, purchased in 2018. And the Zanussi Studioline washing machine that hasn't missed a beat since we've owned the boat.

 

We have 735 watts of solar, in an array of 4 panels x 100w and 1 x 335w panel.

THE DINETTE/DOUBLE

The dinette. The table drops down to form a bed. Each bench seat has two lockers under. We can fit 6 people at the table because there is an additional piece of flooring that fits in the corridor with room for 2 stools.

The dinette converts to a double bed. Two duvulay mattresses make it extremely comfortable.

THE BATHROOM:

Pumpout toilet and vanity unit. Cupboards below and cupboards over.

Victorian hip bath (apparently) with shower over.

THE BEDROOM:

Looking down the corridor past the bedroom to the saloon.

The bedroom, looking back towards the bathroom and galley.

Double wardrobe with shelving

THE SALOON:

The saloon. The sofa is a single bed. It has 4 lockers under the seats and upright lockers behind the seat backs. There is a corner cupboard on the port side and a removable seat/locker on the starboard side on the former hearth - that was left in place in case any new owner wanted to install a solid fuel stove or diesel heater. Mel, the goat, is not part of the fixtures and fittings or chattels - he is coming back to NZ with us and, in fact, is already in his suitcase...

Shelving for TV and books

Room for TV and a mini computer. and a set of small odds and ends drawers.

THE CRATCH:

A lovely place to sit on sunny days or in the rain! With fold down table and seating on side lockers.
