WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE EX WORKBOAT SEAFURY

WW has recently been contacted by Reeces Monkeey regarding his ex workboat (fishing) – SEAFURY. 

Home port is Nelson and Reeces is keen to learn more about the vessel, so woodys anyone able to shed some light on SEAFURY.

Earlier in the week Murray Deeble sent me a link to a great article titled ‘As An Alternative to white plastic, wooden boatbuilders are witnessing an exciting time ‘ that ran in the UK trade newsletter – MARINE INDUSTRY NEWS – link below.  marineindustrynews.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c9215b9be10a68a687ecd8e6b&id=2931d36142&e=5c6f570446

Fingers crossed we see an upturn in the profession in NZ. The UK are facing the same challenges we are eg an ageing workforce resulting in the numbers of traditional boatbuilders declining, plus the people who haul boats, step masts and carry out seasonal servicing – the skilled hands who keep the yards working year-round – are becoming fewer, older and harder to replace.
