An awesome offshore boat or coastal cruiser in top condition, with every facility for exciting racing and comfortable cruising. Designed by internationally recognised Kiwi designer Laurie Davidson, she’s a joy to handle and does not need the running backstays when cruising or taking the family to Waiheke. She has been in Cat 1 in 2006 (still has Cat 3 currently) and would be eligible again for Cat 1 for your next big trip offshore to Fiji. It can be sailed two-handed with furling headsails and slab reefing on the main. Plus – a self-tacking headsail if you are short-handed.
Accommodation for eight 8 with heaps of storage space and great creature comforts
Average speed under motor is 6.5 knots, top speed is 7.2 knots, and under sail, it ranges from 8.0 to 8.5 knots.
Also comes with 4 jibs, 3 spinnakers, and two mainsails. The hull and rig inspection for a recent trip to Fiji showed that the rigging and hull appeared to be in very good condition.
