Bob Denham skippers, owns, designed and built 

Woodwind II. 

He has a perfect understanding of her every mood, and that of the sea which he has sailed for thirty years both in New Zealand and overseas.

Sydney Morning Herald   My husband is a keen sailor with not a lot of experience, so when we decided on a couple of days' sailing in the Bay of Islands on a recent trip to New Zealand I was extremely lucky to find Woodwind Yacht Charters via the internet.  The owner/builder of the 48ft yacht Woodwind, Bob Denham, was the best host you could wish for.  He looked after us like we were friends, cooked all the meals (and cleaned up after!), supplied the fishing gear (we caught some lovely snapper, which he cooked for our dinner), entertained us with his clarinet playing and was happy for my husband to take over the sailing under his supervision.  It was definitely the best way to explore the beautiful Bay of Islands and relax at the same time, as well as being very affordable.                                                             Trish Longhurst, Woolooware, Australia
Quote from Andrew of Kuala Lumpur   - " brilliant, Bob - the dolphins, the sailing, the crayfish lunch, the scenery, and catching our own breakfast - what can I say?"      Email address available.
