Wharram Oro Tawai. anyone know her?

I've been aboard and cleaning up and doing some patch up on her for 10 days now at Omokoroa in Tauranga harbour New Zealand. Since I bought her a few weeks ago.
She's been on this mooring for at least a decade. Anyone know her, history, builder...
None of the locals seem to know anything.

Hi Aaron! I have had my eye on Tawai for the last few years waiting for the owner to sell !! She looks a beauty and a lot of work!
Hope she treats you well, I have the previous owner Alf’s email but no doubt you already have this.
