This site focuses on all things boating — stories of interest from the yachting and racing world, the impact Belhaven { my town of residence} has had on the Intracoastal (ICW), and how it weaves a thread from Maine to Brownsville Texas.
I have been involved with boating most of my life, both in my native New Zealand and the US. I’ve sailed boats, owned boats, sold boats, commissioned new power and sailboats, and been involved with repair and maintenance. Was involved with the classic line of
Dufour sailboats from 32′ to 45′ and Albin from the popular 28 Downeast style to the 36′ fast trawler. Was involved with Twin-Vee with all their problems and a fly-by-night custom boat Deadrise-style commercial fishing boat.
The sea is a part of my and my family’s life. The photo above is the Manukau Heads, east of Auckland where my great GrandfatherCaptain Thomas Wing was the harbourmaster, a reputable pilot, and responsible for many of the soundings and cartography for many of New Zealand’s harbors and coastlines.
