Designed and built in Queensland by Bryan Perry, E Ola Pono is a well-appointed Perry 43 offering the space, comfort and capability these cruising catamarans are known for. Privately owned and never chartered, she has been our home for the past six years while enjoying life aboard and cruising the beautiful Coral Coast of Queensland.
Spacious and practical, her layout is well suited to extended cruising or comfortable liveaboard life. Accommodation includes three private cabins and two heads, both with full bathroom facilities and toilets plumbed to holding tanks.
The main saloon and galley open through full-size doors to the protected cockpit, creating a generous indoor-outdoor living space ideal for alfresco dining, entertaining or simply relaxing at anchor.
With 1,000 litres of water tankage and a watermaker, E Ola Pono is well set up for extended time away from shore. She is fractional sloop rigged with a deck-stepped alloy mast, stainless-steel chainplates and a strongly supported forward alloy beam with substantial seagull striker. All standing rigging was replaced in 2016.
After six wonderful years living aboard and sailing E Ola Pono, the time has come for us to return home to New Zealand at the end of this sailing season and pass her on to her next owners.
Her name, E Ola Pono, means "at peace with all things" - a fitting name for a boat that has given us a wonderful home, countless memories and the freedom to enjoy life on the water.
