Made of Kauri wood
What is Ancient Kauri wood?
Ancient Kauri is a unique material with an amazing beauty and intriguing history. It is commonly regarded as the oldest wood available in the world. Ancient Kauri has been buried underground in New Zealand for approximately 50,000 years, yet it is as workable as newly-harvested wood.

The Ancient Kauri has a powerful beauty. The grain and tones of the wood are lovely, and it has a powerful shimmering iridescence. The glow of Ancient Kauri adds to its beauty and illustrates that this is no ordinary timber, but something quite special. It makes anything built from Ancient Kauri more like a jewel. It is perfect for projects that require an extraordinary material.

It is rare to find an exotic material that is made available through environmentally friendly methods. Ancient Kauri is the most exotic wood in the world, it’s an extremely old growth timber, but not one tree was cut down to harvest it. All the trees fell thousands of years ago by natural forces, and one certainty is that there is a very limited amount of Ancient Kauri on the planet. Plan on being an owner and a steward of some of this incredible wood.
If fast is fun then this should be a fun boat to sail. She is light and narrow enough to show a really good turn of speed and has been very well cared for by her past and current owners. Under her full battened main and jib she is easy to handle short handed
