Stories of my Railroad Journeys
Fix your hearts or die.
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 craftsmen 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 ©2026

Lingering Lunacy 
Thanks,heck of a draft, beamy too, fixed keel or dagger/centerboard? Rocketship! Thx H
Lifting keel that took me some time to make right for cruising. Adjustable draft. She sails great! Fun!
She looks as fast as my Eun Mara looks slow!
Ha! Didn’t think any of Iain’s boats were slow. Looking forward to seeing yours-
