R. Tucker Thompson

This schooner goes out with tourists every day. It is so good to see her under sail. We went out in the boat with the family and visited Roberton Island (Motuarohia Island) in the Bay of Islands. I took this photo from the lagoon. After getting my camera, I had to run along the beach to get the boat in the right place for the photograph.

Here is a bit of information about this boat...

R. Tucker Thompson is a gaff-rigged topsail schooner based in Opua, Bay of Islands, New Zealand. She is operated as a non-for profit charitable trust and owned by the R. Tucker Thompson Sail Training Trust. The mission of the trust is “Learning for Life through the Sea”. The ship is used for tourism day sails in the Bay of Islands from October through April and for sail training activities between May and September.
