72FT SAILING CHARTER CATAMARAN  

General description - History and vessel upgrades:
The vessel was bought over from Sydney in 2009 under its own power (New Chartplotter was installed before the trip). After arriving in NZ it was hauled out in Whangarei where it had major work completed to bring it up to a standard acceptable for the NZ charter market. Extensive work was required to bring it up to NZ survey standards. The cabins were completely stripped out and refurbished to a high standard. Shafts and rudders were removed and crack tested. Woodwork was stripped back and re-stained to bring back the rich colour of the timber. In 2011 the vessel was completely rewired to bring it up to NZ/AS standards. New Furuno depth sounder installed. Bar area was also refurbished with latest composition top. New sound system was installed with PA system. In 2012 the servery bench tops were upgraded to match bar area and extra cupboards added. AIS was installed and new Icom ship to shore VHF radio. In 2014 the vessel had a full hull repaint and most of the superstructure - mast was removed and re-painted.

The vessel has always been maintained to a high standard and is fully ready for ongoing charters.
