Sydney Hydrofoil Manu Wai
Loading...
Uploaded by seapilot64 on Apr 21, 2009
Manu Wai is a Rodriquez built PT20 hydrofoil delivered to New Zealand in 1964 to operate between Auckland and Waiheke Island. Completely rebuild and modernised for then owners Dominion Breweries in 1990. Shipped to Sydney Australia in 1995 for repairs and refit before use on Sydney Harbour and Broken Bay as a tourist excursion and charter vessel. Currently undergoing major refit in Sydney prior to sale or relocation. Manu Wai is very similar to the PT20 hydrofoil used as the villain's getaway boat in the original James Bond Thunderball movie of 1964. Current owner considering joint venture with any interested parties to operate in Australia or abroad. Email seapilot64 for details.

@jetboatjoe7 the manua wai is now sitting on a mooring up near Cockatoo Island, a bit further upstream from Woolwich, I am not exactly sure of the exact areas name. She was also up on a container in Rozelle Bay before being refloated and put on the mooring.

@Xigano1 Slower - probably. Less interesting - definitely.

Let me guess, have the since been replaced by something slower & less interesting ?

They were withdrawn from Sydney in 1991. The same year I travelled there to fulfill my childhood dream. Check out "Hydrofoil - The Musical"

@Curranulla1939 I know what you mean passengers are always asking what happened to them and tell me how good they were

Hey Haig, Back then the fast service with the Hydrofoils was an icon just like the big Manly ferries..

Thanks kwokwing. That's exactly how I felt when I saw my first hydrofoil, a sistership to Manu Wai, when I was 5 years old I think the PT50 however is the best looking and best proportioned hydrofoil ever built. I hope to be posting some PT50 footage shortly.
