Waka Set Sail



Stepping outside of the norm, Salthouse Boatbuiliders built 7 traditional Waka for the Ocean Noise Project in 2009/10. The Waka were built incorporating modern building methods and materials while maintaining many traditional elements. Each Waka has been adorned with designs and insignia unique to the Pacific Island they represent and as they now make their way through the Pacific, they are raising awareness of the troubled condition of the surrounding ocean and how each nation can start making a change for the better - follow their journey here










New Zealand Herald Article on Ptarmigan



The Ptarmigan build was a fantastic project to be part of. The highlight for Salthouse Boatbuilders was the effectiveness of the relationship developed between the yard, the Ker Design Team and the Owners - we are really looking forward to seeing what Ptarmigan can do on the water....the New Zealand Herald ran this story on the boat.
