SPIRIT OF TRADITION CANOE STERN LAUNCH – ZOET

SPIRIT OF TRADITION CANOE STERN LAUNCH – ZOET

Todayswoody story bends the WW rules eg probably ply and f/glass and an American design, but there are some redeeming features – ZOET was built at the Auckland UNITEC Boatbuilding School in the 1980’s, its got a canoe stern + she is a good looker.

Some background – 28’ in length, built c.1980’s to a Ted Brewer (USA) design, powered by Nissan SD22 inboard diesel. Shallow (28”) draft = great inner harbour / lake boat.

WE ARE OFF

CLASSIC WOODEN CRAFT ON THE WAIROA RIVER

Following on from yesterdays (scroll down to view) story on the woodys cruise up the Wairoa River to the Clevedon Cruising Club, today we have a gallery of craft that both Jason Prew and myself photographed on-route, some old favourites there, most looking a little worse for the lack of TLC over winter, but a few newbies.

Enjoy the journey – we did 🙂 (remember to click photos to enlarge)
