I imported my yacht from the USA 12 years ago. She is a very comfortable and seaworthy boat, ideal for offshore or coastal cruising and based at Westhaven Marina in Auckland. I have had considerable coastal sailing experience over many years around the coast of northern New Zealand. Looking for crew to join the boat for day sailing around the Auckland Harbour and Hauraki Gulf and short coastal cruising trips around the northern coast up to the Bay of Islands.

About the boat, the plans, and current crew

The boat has two separate private cabins and two bathrooms. Safety equipment is all checked and certified annually and all electronic and communication equipment recently upgraded. Engine, rigging and sails all serviced annually.

No previous experience on yachts is required just an enthusiasm for being out on the sea and learning about sailing. And crew with previous sailing experience also very welcome.
