Lucille – Logan 33 replica – not a lot of wood 🙂 but her owner is so passionate that he has replaced all her fitting with one-off bronze castings & he is currently building a very cool wooden dinghy at the NZ Traditional Boat Building School.

Maggie – designed and built by Roy Parris in 1992,originally she had a large hatch in the foredeck and a doghouse aft-end. A very pretty looking workboat , and exceptionally well balanced hull , the completed boat sat on its keel in the shed rocking gently from side to side between 2 wedges for well over 1/2 hour until Roy Parris stopped it whereupon it sat and it stood completely unsupported on its keel only. After an early life transporting supplies to & from Kawau Island she was refurbished in 2004 & is now best described as a small clinker built day boat, being 18ft 6″ overall. Her stem and keels are heart totara with a hull built of rewa rewa ribs and kauri planks. Her comfortable cruising speed is 7 knots at 2100 rpm. Maggie is a good little sea boat, and is permanently berthed in the Viaduct Harbour Basin.
