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.

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 ©2023

I have a substantial dossier on her & that trip, but only I put more or less what was asked for in my plug for the prize. — They were all smokers & the petrol tins developed a petrol leak just out of Auckland & she filled with petrol fumes so they could not have a cigarette for over 5 days, so were all gasping for breath, when they got to Rarotonga. — KEN R
