I have read a lot of books but only one 4 times.
The Story of Johnny W building Ngataki & cruising the South Pacific is a must read / own for any classic wooden boatie.
Click on the link below & then the ‘Vagabonds’ section to hear Jim Mora on the National Radio talk about the upcoming relaunch of Ngataki & the re-print of the book.
Enjoy.

Good! There can’t be too many copies around. I’ve had mine since I wasn’t even in my teens. Every time I got into a “Oh! I’ll never be able to get another boat!” mood, I’d get it out and read it again. The quintessential Kiwi do it yourself, No. 8 wire (literally!) boatie!
