STORM BIRD
Built by Roy Parris, Storm Bird is a fine example of the popular 1960’s carvel planked 24’ design, Zoom zoom comes from a Isuzu 4-Cylinder Diesel.
The vessel has been regularly used and serviced by the current owner who has enjoyed years of reliable trouble-free cruising.
Her trademe listing tells us Sandspit is her home, a great entry boat to get into classic wooden boating. If it was me I’d be chopping some height off the cabin, but maybe her owner is 6’6”+ J
Thanks to Ian McDonald for the listing heads up.

I like the way you say “zoom zoom”, Alan. It’s cute. But I can’t help thinking its more “chug chug” with some Woodies -like this one in particuar. The ones that have (for example) Mercruisers and flat head V8 Osco conversions might be more in the ZOOOOOM ZOOM line!

I have crewed on Storm Bird many times with the owner. Lovely reliable little ship.
