Auckland Harbour Sailing

Ted Ashby is a ketch-rigged deck scow, typical of the fleet of scows that once operated in northern New Zealand waters. Scows were flat-bottomed, centreboard vessels, most of which carried their cargo on deck. They were ideal for working estuaries and shallow harbours, and they carried logs, firewood, sand and shingle, machinery and stock. A few of the larger scows carried timber to Australia and America. This leisurely sail is the perfect way to see Auckland's beautiful skyline. All sailing tickets include entry the Museum galleries.
