Spot the Brin Wilson boats at the aucklandwoodenboatfestival this weekend!

Last week it was the Auckland Boat Show - this week it's the Auckland Wooden Boat Festival 🩵

Taking part is Ilex. Ilex was designed and built by Brin Wilson in 1969 for Warwick Macky before beiing brought byWarwick's son in law, the current owner in 2001.

The Ilex has sailed to Sydney, Fiji and circumnavigated New Zealand. She has been extensively raced in RNZYS. In addition has completed several two handed races including the Around North Island. There are many trophys with her name on them including the Macky memorial trophy.

Her build is remarkable. There is no movement in the hull and she is as stiff as the day she was built.

Construction is three-skin kauri, laminated ribs at 6inch centres, stringers are riveted, keel bolts are silicon bronze. Coach work is burmese teak, ply decks and coach roof.

Everyone is off to the Auckland Boat Show including Jontay! Before she left she visited for a fresh coat of antifouling. We used Sea Barrier and Propspeed, and finished with a cut and polish.

At the show Jontay will show off her new FPT motors, recently installed by Onshore Marine. Jake and his team did a great job 👍
