Dedicated to the study & appreciation of wooden boats. WaitemataWoodys® was founded upon a desire to tell the stories & a need to archive the history of our classic wooden boats, the craftsman who built them & characters that owned & crewed on them. To share - email your photos, video's & stories to Flora McKenzie at waitematawoodys@gmail.com - Special thanks to marine author & historian Harold Kidd. Click the follow button at the bottom right of the page to get email alerts on new & updated stories. WW gets a LOT of emails every day - we like that, but sometimes we just can't answer them all, it's not that we're lazy or rude - just busy working on the next story :-) alan houghton - WW founder ©2023
