Dear Eduard

Some time ago you contacted me about your launch Wirake. I have come across a photo that might be of interest to you.

It shows 26' motor dories mass produced during WW2. Do you think Wirake is one of the dories?

"Currently operating as much loved family cruiser.

"We are really keen to find out a little more about her as we plan to hold on to her for at least 5 yrs & restore her to her original state/colour.

"Regarding her history, voyages, technical details, incidents, etc; we have very little info, anything at all would be appreciated.

"All we have been told is that she spent time on Sydney Harbour between 1945 & 1947, and has been moved between the Harbour & Pittwater on a number of occasions by new owners.

"The original colour appears to have been white, but all this information is a little hazy... Will send photos - hope that helps. 

"Thank You!
