WHAT THE BOATIES SAY...
"My wife and I recently moved from Whangapāroa to Whangārei on our 60ft Spencer schooner. In the 50-plus years I have been away from Whangārei, the town has more than tripled in size. We are very impressed with the redevelopment around the river. Plus, over decades of tending to visiting boats, an entire boat maintenance industry has grown, literally within walking distance. No place in NZ is better suited to the visiting sailor." David Howie
