waitematawoodys.com #1 for classic wooden boat stories, info, advice & news – updated daily

Dedicated to the study & appreciation of wooden boats. WaitemataWoodys® was founded upon a desire to tell the stories & a need to archive the history of our classic wooden boats, the craftsman who built them & characters that owned & crewed on them. To share – email your photos, video's & stories to Flora McKenzie at waitematawoodys@gmail.com – Special thanks to marine author & historian Harold Kidd. Click the follow button at the bottom right of the page to get email alerts on new & updated stories. WW gets a LOT of emails every day – we like that, but sometimes we just can't answer them all, it's not that we're lazy or rude – just busy working on the next story :-) alan houghton – WW founder ©2021

RANUI – ~~ID This Woody~~ & Win A WW T-Shirt

The only hint is the photo was taken at an Auckland Anniversary Regatta in the 1950’s.

All entries via email only – to waitematawoodys@gmail.com. Entries close at 8pm 31-10-2019. The 1st correct entry drawn wins the prize.

Current owner excluded, that’s assuming they can recognise her ;-

Broad shouldered woodys are encouraged to enter – the WW warehouse has disproportionate stocks to fit strapping gents 🙂

FYI – I will be doing a t-shirt offer before xmas and most likely caps.

The winner of the draw was Mark McLaughlin – with the correct answer of Ranui. Had some very out-there guesses.

Thanks to everyone for entering.

Thanks also to Nathan Herbert for the photo 🙂
