Quickcat

2014-11-22T03:58:20Z

23JR:

Quickcat is the largest and oldest boat in the Fullers Fleet. It is used only on the commuter runs between Waiheke and Auckland. Despite being the oldest she is one of the most popular with commuters.

== History ==

[[Image:tihare_quickcat.jpg|right]]Prior to the introduction of the Quickcat, Auckland to Waiheke service was provided by a variety of older boats such as the [[Iris Moana]], [[Baroona]] and the Kestrel. The journey time could take anywhere between 1 to 2 hours depending on the vessel used, loading and sea conditions.

The introduction of the Quickcat in 1986 brought Waiheke much closer to Auckland City with an initial crossing time of 30 minutes. This was later increased to 35 minutes to reduce the wake created as the Quickcat arrived in Auckland City. Nevertheless the true commuter age had arrived.

During the first few years of service the Quickcat was the only "fast ferry" providing Waiheke service. The older slower boats filled in if the Quickcat was out of service and for peak commuter services.

For a satirical take on the life of the Waiheke commuter, listen to [[Mr Orange|this song]] by Mr Orange.

== Collision in the Motuihe Channel ==

On the morning of the 4th of January 2005 at around 10.35a.m. five people were injured in a collision between a small charter fishing boat and the QUICKCAT. The 6.5-metre charter boat DR. HOOK and QUICKCAT collided in the Motuihe Channel, which separates Motutapu and Motuihe Islands,

The injured, from the pleasure craft, were transferred to the ferry. The Westpac rescue helicopter flew two of these people to hospital. Three other people with minor injuries were taken ashore from the ferry by the Police launch DEODAR 2 for medical treatment. The charter boat was holed on her port bow, and was towed in by a Coastguard rescue vessel. QUICKCAT continued her voyage to Waiheke Island.

Wanderer II

23JR:

[[File:Wanderer.JPG|250px|thumb|right|Wanderer]]

The Wanderer is a fast ferry owned by Fullers Auckland and used on mostly as a Tourist and Sightseeing boat on the Harbour Cruise and Rangitoto Island Ferry. She is also sometimes used on the Northcote/Birkenhead service. Wanderer is rarely seen on the ferry service to Waiheke Island, however if Fullers has limited capacity then Wanderer is used as backup. Wanderer is also used alongside larger sister Adventurer on the Birkenhead and Half Moon Bay ferry services.

== History ==

Fullers purchased the Wanderer II in late 2007 from World Heritage Cruises in Strahan Tasmania for NZ$2m. She was purchased a year after Fullers bought sister ship Adventurer from World Heritage Cruises. Along with Adventurer she provided much needed extra capacity on the Waiheke Island and North Shore ferry services.
Fullers have removed the II and the ferry is now simply known as the Wanderer.

The picturesque remains of the Rahiri, a once-proud member of the Hauraki Gulf scow fleet, lie semi-submerged in front of [[Piritahi Marae]] at the western end of [[Blackpool]]. It is freely accessible at all but high tide, although signs warn against climbing onboard.

The Rahiri (Maritime Id 530020057) built 1907 by David M. Darroch, Omaha (NZ) a well known scow builder. The scow was originally named DAPHNE and renamed in 1926 with original dimensions of Length 66'9' (approx 21 meters) and a beam of 18'5' (approx 5.5 meters) but has shrunken considerably over the years since being beached.

Scows are wooden vessels, at first sail powered but later motorised and almost flat-bottomed.
This enabled them to work inland on the river systems or shallow areas (such as Blackpool). The Rahiri was used extensively throughout the Auckland region for over 70 years transporting all manner of cargo. It was the last vessel to trade the little known Whau River in Auckland transporting bricks from the famous New Lynn brickworks as well as tea tree ( manuka )ending in 1948 (shown in image) and then primarily used for transporting livestock between gulf islands.
