She was moved south to Lyttelton by the previous owner to myself and is moored on the eastern side of Lyttelton harbour at Purua . I have cared for her for the last 6 years . I have added a few of my own constructed additions , like butterfly hatch , stern seat and boom prop. Constructed from Garapa timber , a south americian hardwood used for decking here in NZ but looks alot like our native Kauri timber of which Fidilty is constructed and cabin interior is detailed with .
