Facilita
was launched in 1948 and was used for many years as a game fish charter
launch at Mount Maunganui ... she was a very successful game boat and it
is these launch features that make her a very stable and comfortable
craft from which to catch trout on Lake Taupo.
-
Facilita
was brought to Taupo by Eric Hunter in 1979. She was later owned by
Chris Jolly who used her mainly for overnight charters. She can sleep
up to eight people and is equipped with a fridge, freezer, stove etc and
is ideally suited to the extended charter service that is becoming more
and more popular. She is now owned and operated by Pat Wynn.
-
Her survey allows her to take up to 22 people and many conference groups
and social clubs take advantage of this service for a few hours or a day
on the lake.
-
Facilita
is all steel construction, is 42ft 6in long and has a beam of 14ft. She
has recently been refurbished with teak trim. When Chris bought her he
carried out an extensive refit including rewiring, re-instrumentation, a
new cockpit and interior trim, and putting in woollen carpets and
squabs. All the work was done locally except for the new propeller.
-
Facilita
can be parked against beaches adjacent to the stream mouths where
visitors can enjoy barbecue luncheons and evening meals.
