Overview
About this vessel
Well-built blue water cruiser designed by renowned naval architect Ed Dubois, built by Kiwi Boats, USA. Extremely well-appointed and maintained by a caring and knowledgeable owner.
Entry into the spacious cockpit is via a swim step through the walk-through transom. Solar panels are mounted on top of the hardtop dodger, and the mainsheet traveler is positioned forward of the dodger, allowing for unimpeded movement around the cockpit. Powered by a Yanmar 68hp engine. Sails include a 2021 fully battened Mainsail, 2021 furling staysail/jib, 2023 furling genoa, and an asymmetric spinnaker in sock.
This vessel is fast and strong, with the GRP hull built around an integral alloy chassis, giving both rigidity and performance.
The asking price is far outweighed by the amount of investment spent on upgrades and maintenance that are simply too numerous to advertise. She is located in the Whangarei town basin but is marketed to international clients only.
