About Tboat design! The first Tboat design, the T8 was built mid 1996 by myself and a couple of mates. The boat was named Tom Tom Taxi and was subsequently bought by Chris Bouzaid and Trice Kilroy and renamed Wairere.
The boat was shipped to the USA and campaigned there. That was the start of a legacy that has seen over 250 Tboat built and sailed around the world. A number have been built as production boats from moulds but the majority built by amateur builders.
Tboats have been involved in designing and producing boats over the last 28 years. Today I am concentrating on designing new boats and marketing our existing stock designs.
The company is based in New Zealand but work remotely with my 4 staff. My office is my T38 Tom Tom Taxi in the NZ summers and somewhere warm in the world in our winters.
I am online most days to answer customer queries.
