Seeking Miss Maraetai

We are compiling a history of sea rescue out of Maraetai as it has operated from 1975 and it will be 50 years in 2025. 

I am trying to locate the present owners of Miss Maraetai, the original rescue vessel that the Maraetai Beach Boating Club owned.

Miss Maraetai was a 16-foot Seacraft clinker-built runabout with a petrol inboard Falcon motor. The last information I have is that about 15 -20 years ago it was sold to someone in Papatoetoe, who on-sold it about 20 years ago.

12.5m | This Rayglass 4000 would be the nicest example we have seen, Survey report available from Aug 24 in which owner is said to have fixed any findings making this a superbly presented turn key boat, Call Now

We are hoping to present the history in a book at an event at the Maraetai Beach Boating Club early 2025 and would like to have the vessel present.

If your readers have any information it would be most appreciated. Please get in touch.
