ex TL systems 63 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Harryproa site has all the info but for me mainly the price was right for a low maintenance shallow draught multi that is not too old and has 2 double berths Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex TL systems 63 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I did notice lots of people taking photos of it as I sailed into Auckland. It’s a bit unusual but will be handy for exploring up narrow creeks with out worrying about having to turn around to get back out !! Could name it to and fro but I just call it the backwards forwards boat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,586 Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 You should think of a palindrome for a name. Able was I ere I saw Elba. We looked at the big sister to that but at the time didn't have the $$$. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Yes but will stick with the original name Aroha. Love it and easy to search its history from there. There was a big one for sale in Europe somewhere but bit unproven and not that cheap. I looked at this one about 10 years ago in whangaroa but it was more expensive and we struggled to make ground to windward when we went for a sail. The hulls were really dirty though. It seems to slip along nicely when its clean though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
