Ted Ashby - Big Rig of the Gulf
Gaffrig Productions

Running time 70 minutes approx.
VHS and DVD
All Regions

This film follows the construction of a new scow, the Ted Ashby, built for the New Zealand National Maritime Museum in Auckland. It has been completed in time for the vessel's 10th anniversary in August 2003. The New Zealand trading scow's history and Ted Ashby's story is told by the people involved - the designers, builders, sailmakers, historians and the people whose vision made the project possible. The atmosphere of an era past has been recreated. Modern techniques plus new and old footage enable the viewer a look at a history almost lost.
The Ted Ashby was the first new scow to be built for many years and there is unlikely to be another with the same authenticity.
She can be seen on most days, in full sail, on Auckland's Waitemata Harbour or alternatively in this latest work from award winning Gaffrig Productions.

Waione - One of the Family shows how a New Zealand heritage yacht is used at the turn of the 21st century. Designed by Charles Bailey Jnr in 1907, she is over 100 years old and in perfect condition, having never been restored. She is used just as she always has been and is surrounded in history and stories. This documentary interviews a number of her past seventeen owners. She is a cherished member of her current owners family and they have refitted her with a gaff rig. This has turned her back into one of New Zealand's finest performing classic racers.
