NZ Castaway build

Recommended Posts

My first build I wanted a good stable boat for photography purposes I have yet to see how well it goes launch day Saturday.

The stringers and trim are all made from Totara an indigenous wood that was traditionally used by the Maori for carving their dugouts from.

It is very durable and quite light albeit has a tendency to split. Hoping to be able to get to some interesting locations and do some water bird photography too.

Check out my photography at http://rodsphotoscapes.co.nz/
