Traditional Wooden Boat

Whangarei Heads

Our friend Mike Hughes built this wooden boat using traditional methods
and has a possible article coming up in Wooden Boat magazine. It is a copy
of the Herreshoff designed tender used for the Americas cup in the early 1900's.
Herroshoff is like the god of boat design.

Love the colour in this. Gorgeous Susan. For peoples information it is a copy of the Herreshoff designed tender used for the Americas cup in the early 1900's. Herroshoff is like a god of baot design. Our friend Mike Hughes built it using traditional methods and has a possible article coming up in Wooden Boat magazine. Here is a photo of an information board for the boat at a recent boat show. http://www.pbase.com/blindpoet/image/122523358 A rose it was amongst a plethora of plastic shiny boat thorns. People gravitated towards this boat. Old boatbuilers had tears in their eyes and talked about the old days and old ways. eyes. No glue in this boat. It looks beautiful in the water. Susan took some brilliant images of it and had a ride.
