Hi All,
WE have our boat up on the net now at the New Zraland wooden boat net web site.

It is in two halfs. The first which shows the previous boats and influences that lead to the boat we have now. This also shows some very good pictures of the pounding strip planking can take and still hold together when out H28 went on the rocks.

Really interesting reading thanks Zane. The Buzzards bay 14. Did I see that at a boat show when it was new?( when? I don't know. 80's?)

[Zane Lewis]

Thanks for the positive comments.

Yes the BB14 was at a boat show in Auckland. some time between 1981-83. She was part of the Trad Boat Society's display along with Maggie May, a Gunter riged Navy sail trainer and half a dozen other small craft.
