The Daring is a 17m schooner built from Kauri by a Nova Scotian boat builder in Mangawhai in 1863. They were joined by three Mangawhai locals and became the Mangawhai Daring Trust. The Daring will reside next to the Mangawhai Museum in the interim. The trust also hopes to include original tools, such as tree nails, used to build the vessel.
