This is our live aboard. We have been aboard her for 14 years now, initially with 2 teenagers, now just the 2 of us... except during holidays then there are the 2 of us, our daughter, son-in-law and their children. We have sailed around the North Island, up and down the East Coast, to Fiji and too many Cook Strait crossings to count. At 36' she is a great size for 2 of us to manage, but has lots of space for visitors. Also manageable financially to maintain and leave something for the cruising budget.
