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.

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.
