Salthouse
In 1983 the Compass
Yachts hull and deck moulds were
sold to Neville Collet. They
were from the same moulds that Compass
built the last 70-80 boats. This was the
series B mould.
Neville had Salthouse Brothers
manufacture 6 -10 boats. These
were done under John Maurice's control
who was working for Salthouse's at the
time.
The last 4 of these
were auctioned in 1986 when Neville had
sold his Pt Chevalier business and
needed to clear the yard.
In 1986 Kerry
Blaymires bought the Hull & Deck
moulds from Neville. Kerry
Blaymires still owns one set.
There are 3 known Salthouse boats
that were built. One is Annalisa, and
the other is a Christchurch Boat. Oh and
the last one launched in Wellington.
