THE HOTCHPOT

This delightful boat was built for the NZ Government in March 1903 to be carried on board the Government steamer Hinemoa. Originally fitted with a 10hp Union petrol engine, this has been long lost and the present 10hp Kelvin is the fourth engine since the Union. She was bough by the McCallum family and kept at their island Pakihi near Ponui. The McCallums sold her to the present owner five years ago and she was extensively rebuilt with a new cabin. There is plenty of work to do to make her accommodation more liveable for over nighting and the owner potters in between using her.

She is an excellent seaboat as one would expect with her provenance. In her 100th year she is well looked after and we hope she will make another 100 years with ease. The Government called her Hinemoa's Number 2 Boat. McCallums caller her Peter (as she appears in the book) and the present owner tends to call her Hinemoa.
