On a cold winter Sunday on the banks of the Hudson River, here is a video from the New Zealand summer about the restoration of one of the oldest yachts in the island nation, the 115-year-old Ariki. For additional photos of the classic yacht, click here. Thanks to Irwin Bryan for contributing to the post.
Watch: 115-year-old Ariki, one of NZ’s oldest sailing vessels, restored to its former beauty
Very cool and what a wonderful restoration. I am actually surprised that it didn’t cost more — but wood is infinitely renewable and it looks as if they did a superb job!
Really Cool. Love that local news is covering it too!
