My Girl was  built for C.B. “Tui” Waldron of the Wade who commuted with her.  The square bilge design was based on one by W.H.Hand. Waldron later took her to Whangarei and she was in NAPS as Z32 out of Whangarei in WW2. 

She was purchased from the Davies Family of Te Atatu in December 2014, Derek and his Father Trevor are long term caretakers of My Girl, keeping her in the Whau River for many years.  After a spell on the hard where she fell into dis-repair, I finally persuaded Derek to part with her.

She was previously powered by a BMC Commander of dubious health.  Now powered by a 100hp Volvo Penta.

Restoration is basically complete at this stage.   Just a few bits left.
