Question for KIWI land

[batory]

What are the origins of the boats ( lapstrake double enders ) used in the movie "The Fellowship of the Ring" filmed in New Zealand?

Here you go. There's more if you search the entire Forum hard.

If anyone has seen "Lemony Snickets: A Series of Unfortunante Events" (I did last night) and wondered what the runabout was, it is a 1935 22' GarWood triple cockpit.

Thank you Mr Venchka.
I guess I'm not current in my movie viewing habits. Just watched the first episode last weekend, although I read the book in the sixties, and read it to my son as a bedtime story in the eighties.

Hmm there is a big difference between "Oz" (Australia) land and Kiwi land (New Zealand). Kinda like asking a Canadian what it is like to be an American ;)

As for the boats, my guess is that they were brought over by the production team and have no origins in NZ, though I could well be wrong.
