The News, Culture and Practice of Sailing woodenboats
in Australia, New Zealand & The South Pacific.
The Connection Lives On
The boats also floated, to some extent, the economy of the village. They bought material for maintenance, supplies for fishing trips, groceries and the like for their families when they were in port and fuel for the diesel engines which powered the cray boats. The townsfolk all knew each other and were linked socially as well as through the fishing fleet or the little enterprises which supported it.
