WANTED.
I am looking for a restoration project boat up to 18ft ideally, though a larger
boat might be considered. I would prefer a planing hull (as in addition to
general family fun on the water I would like to teach my children to waterski)
but semi-planing could also be considered. Of paramount importance is safety, so
the hull design and construction should provide good seagoing capabilities once
finished.
Our finances are very limited, so I was hoping for a low-cost hull that could be
restored over time in a simple style reminiscent of Chris Craft or Riva
runabouts. The boat I am looking for is probably sitting in a shed or in the
corner of a property under a sagging tarpaulin somewhere, slowly returning to
the earth - waiting for some care and attention to return her to glory. I cannot
afford to pay a lot of money, but I can promise the boat will go to a good home
- to live on in regular use and become a legacy to leave my children.
Please call Tara on 04 3838956, Mobile 0275745087 (text me and I will be happy
to call you back)
TAITOA is a classic
Herreshoff design. She is 36 Feet on Deck and was build in Auckland
at the Voss & Brij
yard in 1976 from NZ Kauri.
She circumnavigated the World via Cape Horn and Panama Canal and raced twice
Melbourne to Osaka.
She had a refit and a new Teak Deck was laid. She is in good condition.
She is seriously for sale and maybe someone would like to bring her home.

A most unusual boat for New Zealand. This is a Paul Selway design
from the UK which he describes as "based upon the 'V' bottomed skiffs which were
used on the Atlantic Coast side of the Virginian Eastern shore for tonging and
crabbing. These boats were distinctive, with their well flared sides, beamy hull
and well raked straight stem and they had a reputation for speed and
seaworthiness". Built in 2006 by an artist and a skilled joiner for a project
commissioned by Te Papa Tongarewa, this lovely little boat sat as an art work on
the rooftop of our national museum and is now being sold for a future life - as
a boat! Sailed only once earlier this year at the Plimmerton Classic Boats
festival, otherwise largely as-new (weathering has occurred on seating). All
timbers used in construction are sustainable - the hull is 7mm Hoop Pine plywood
and glass over ply frames. Seating is Maple, skeg and gunwales American White
Oak. Macrocarpa and Douglas Fir also used. Half decked giving plenty of dry
stowage space and a lot of reserve buoyancy. A steel centreplate is used and is
a Gaff rig. Could take a cuddy and sleeping on board is a definite possibility.
LOD 16'1" (4.9m); Beam 6'5" (1.95m); Draft 1'1" and 3' (.33m and .91m); Sail
Area 150 sq.ft. (13.9 sq.m). Weight is around 650 lbs. (295 kg.). This is a
reluctant, but philosophical, sale as circumstances and practicalities now
require locating a new owner. On the market for purely genuine reasons and will
sell to the right person. No trailer or outboard. View in Plimmerton,
Wellington. Can supply references for seaworthiness and performance. $7000

"Great Scott" Owners: John
& Janette Gibson, Built: 1957, Length: 4.9m. The mahogany (Janet & John boat) was built in Tamaki, Auckland as a day fishing boat for Lake Rotorua. Original owner and builder, Stuart Marsters had a holiday home at Waitete, Ngongotaha, immediately above the footbridge. When he sold the house to Mike Russell in 1979, the boat went with the house. Present owner, who is the 3rd owner, bought the boat September 1999 and started restoring it. Basically just revarnishing and painting. The boat won a 50 mile race in 1959 on Waikato River averaging 42 M.P.H. Original outboard was a Scott Atwater, hence the name. The
motor is not included. Contact Janette by
