HARBOUR YACHTS ~
OUR BOATS
"Wanaka" Sailing Yacht - built by Harbour Yachts Ltd, Auckland, New Zealand
Bruno and Melanie
Trouble are delighted with their new 57 ft yacht "Wanaka" which
was launched in December 2002. This beautiful boat has been named after
Lake Wanaka in the South Island of New Zealand, however many people still
refer to the her fondly as "Double Trouble". So far she has
been very successful both cruising and racing. Sailing 9 knots easily
upwind in only 12knots of breeze. In a recent Auckland regatta she was
easily ahead of the fleet. The simple water ballast system works very
efficiently as does the carbon rig built by Carbonforce in Auckland. She
is kitted out with all the latest equipment and computers from Seamation
and ENL. The interior lighting is supplied by Euromarine and upholstery
by Peter Boyd of North sails. Special fabrics were chosen by Melanie.
The vast cockpit has special features such as twin steering wheels and
for entertaining a handy cockpit fridge installed by Fridgetech who supplied
the fridge freezer in the galley. The boat is powered by beautifully cut
Lidguard sails and a 125hp Yanmar motor. Lewmar hatches are supplied by
Kiwi Yachting. The boat is fitted with a Profurl which has made cruising
a breeze. The carbon bow prod for the mast head Genaker makes racing easy
for even the cruising person and the sails are all controlled by Harken
winches.
With the extremely roomy interior Bruno and Melanie are looking forward
to living aboard as they cruise around the Pacific and entertain guests
from all over the world. This will be a well earned rest from the excitement
of organizing the Louis Vuitton and Americas Cups. If you would like to
