Rob McLean is a boat builder whose Hamilton factory is busy turning out chase boats for the America's Cup in Auckland in 2021. After the Cup is over, 26 boats will be distributed to Coastguard units throughout the country, thanks to a grant from the Lottery Fund. As well as boating, Rob is a passionate hunter and camper, and that's fed into another part of his business, building camper trailers for utes and heli-huts for hunters. Rob talks to Kathryn about building his business, and his love of the outdoors.
