Wendy Oldham, Canvas Locker, Tauranga

About Wendy Oldham of the Canvas Locker, Tauranga

I am passionate about boating and have many years experience in the marine industry. I grew up sailing and racing in New Zealand, then travelled extensively offshore. This included cruising and doing boat deliveries. I worked in the marine canvas industry in San Diego for several years and raced at the San Diego Yacht Club. On returning to the sunny Bay of Plenty, I worked in two local sail lofts before establishing the Canvas Locker in the year 2000. I am a member of the Tauranga Yacht and Powerboat Club and enjoy getting out on the water when I can.
