SEA FEVER – Gets A Visit To  The Classic Wooden Boat Parlour

Earlier this year SEA FEVER the 34’ 1958 John Salthouse design / build wooden launch changed hands The Wooden Boat Bureau worked with owner Doug Reid to find a new custodian. The buyer ticked all the boxes on Dougs wish list, and if Doug is reading WW today I’m sure he will be very chuffed to see SEA FEVER getting TLC she deserves. (when launched her name was Onetaunga.)

I’ve commented many times that one of the reasons particular craft pass the half century mark is good old luck – luck in terms of having the right owners who value these classic craft, SEA FEVER has had a succession of good people caring for her and it shows.

In the next few days Jason Prew will be applying his skills to SEA FEVER and another one of our classic woody fleet will have a JPPJ (Jason Prew Paint Job)

  1. Onetaunga my grandfathers launch built in 1965 by John Salthouse looking pretty cool in her new paintwork. Bought by the boy who used to live next door when I was young. An amazing thing to happen. Brings a tear to my eye, grandpa would be pleased. We are restoring Quintessence a Clarke 42 yacht so couldnt commit to another boat.
