Tino Rawa Trust

Meet Paul Stephanus. This is the guy that made it possible for the Tino Rawa Trust to join the Australian Wooden Boat Festival in Hobart this week. His vision and course has been steadfast.

Ngataki is sitting in the Prince of Wales Marina (Johnny Wray knows where that is!) ready for her mast to be stepped on Monday. Our team of Tai Smyth and Neil Morris (Johnny Wray Coffee) roll in to town on Sunday.

The rest of us arrive on Wed to unwrap our on land exhibition (pictured) with our beautiful 1930 PClass, the Silver Fern, a Frostbite and the Trust’s 1902 Logan, Otira.

A lot of planning, amazing support from the boat owners, fund raising (thank you Mike Mahoney, ABD Group, Forbes Packing, Peter Parken and others) and the challenges at the border. We always believed in this exhibition. Look forward to sharing this with you guys.

The Kiwis are coming!
