HELLO FRIENDS AND VALUED WEST HEAD CUSTOMERS ,
Welcome to the latest edition of West Head Boatbuilders Ltd . The Magazine , where we bring stories of grit , innovation , and tradition on the open waters to light . At the heart of this magazine is a celebration of what makes our maritime community so special : our people , our boats , and the shared passions that bind us all together . I hope that comes through for you as you read this magazine
In this issue , we dive deep into the lives of extraordinary individuals like Patrick Ross , whose vessel , Ross Boys , represents a proud continuation of his family ’ s fishing legacy . Crafted with care and expertise by our team here at West Head Boatbuilders , Patrick ’ s story is a testament to how modern craftsmanship can honour tradition while meeting the demands of the future .
We also spotlight Nason Ross , whose journey back to his roots led to the creation of Major Headache , a boat that is as practical as it is innovative . His vision , realized in collaboration with the skilled team at West Head , reminds us of the importance of listening , collaboration , and attention to detail in achieving excellence .
Finally , we reflect on the story of Dustin Woods , whose career with West Head Boatbuilders is a metaphor for perseverance and growth . From a humble start in a field with only a few tools to becoming a cornerstone of the West Head team , Dustin ’ s journey illustrates how passion and hard work can turn dreams into reality .
Whether you ’ re a seasoned fisherman , a boatbuilding enthusiast , or simply someone who appreciates stories of dedication and craftsmanship , we hope this edition resonates with you . The sea has a way of weaving stories that endure through generations , and we are honoured to share some of them with you here .
Thank you for coming aboard . I ’ m glad to have you with us as we explore some of the inspiring tales of fishermen keeping the maritime spirit alive .
