This specific hull and deck will be made completely in carbon fibre and will be dedicated to the racing world, yet will have the comfort of a cruiser.  The GS 80 will be launched in June 2018 and will be presented for the first time in Cannes boat show, Monaco and other important super yacht boat show worldwide. The interiors are divided in two main areas to separate the crew zone from the guests and owner. Crew cabins are located in the stern, with a separated entrance in case of need and a direct connection to the navigation table, engine room and kitchen. 2 guests and the owner cabin are located in the bow while a fourth cabin can be transformed into guest or crew cabin when needing a chef or extra hostess for example. The boat will be fully equipped for long sailing and will provide many storage areas as well as a closet cabin, a special request made by his wife. The hull and deck plan are dedicated to racing with the latest equipment and sails. The owner’s plans are to follow the most important racing circuits and in between to enjoy sailing with his wife and kid in a comfortable, stylish and luxurious boat, which was designed especially for his needs.

We invited all our clients to bring their family and boating friends down for a fun end of year event with the focus on SAFE BOATING.

Special guest and speaker last year was Tony Rae from Team Vestas Wind – who showed us some incredible footage of their mishap at sea, and talked us through how they managed to get themselves out of it.

Greg Brownson from Auckland Rescue Helicopter Trust – shared some of their wildest rescue stories with us as well as vital information of how to avoid those life threatening situations.

On site we had firemen explaining how to put out different kinds of fires and how to use the right equipment correctly to put it out, Paramedics demonstrating CPR and other life saving first aid skills, we had testing of flares and EPIRBS and much more!

This year we are doing it all again, bigger and better! This is an event not to be missed, a must-attend before starting your boating season this summer.1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44
