I have just heard from our exceptional skiff builder Mark Robinson that Kiwi St Ayles #2 (as yet unnamed) has her seats fitted and gunwales installed and is expected to head off to the paint shop next week.

There is a rumour going around that there could be a race coming up early in the new year….

Maybe not quite this many! but all going well at least a couple will be putting on some racing at the famous Mahurangi Regatta, Auckland Anniversary weekend… more info to follow

I’m also very pleased to announce that a third St Ayles kit has been dispatched and is underway by a group of enthusiasts in Kaikoura. (Top of the South Island for those of you from foreign shores) a full report on this boat coming soon.
