Can't help you with that Neven. You may find interest that a Croatian boatbuilder built a crayfishing boat in Fremantle in the early 1960's - carvel built from local jarrah (planks) and karri (ribs) - he called her PLANJAK. PLANJAK was subsequently bought by a crayfisherman from Jurien Bay W.A. who had a company called the 'Planjak Fishing Co.' (still exists I think) He sold this PLANJAK to a shark fisherman from Bunbury W.A. called Arthur Kershaw. All this time the name PLANJAK was a total mystery to all owners (except the original). I purchased the PLANJAK in early 1980 from Arthur Kershaw and took her north to Exmouth where I fished her professionally until I sold her in 1985. It was not until the advent of the internet that I was able to trace the origin of the name PLANJAK to a small islet of the island of Korcula, Croatia. Love to visit there someday. Some very close friends of mine visited the Planjak Restaurant on Korcula recently. Hope you like the pics.   |
