Sailing on the magnificent Hauraki Gulf, Auckland, New Zealand

Gallery/Boat/ProfileBling is a 45ft Beneteau yacht designed by the famous New Zealander Bruce Farr for fast comfortable cruising. Bling has 3 queen size private cabins each with their own ensuite bathrooms with hot showers.

The galley is fitted with a huge freezer and fridge together with gas hobs and oven to please the most discerning chefs. Bling sails like a dream. She has a fully battened mainsail with a furling genoa and for the adventurous there is the gennaker for those fun down wind runs. If the wind drops away we can rely on the diesel engine to get us home safely.

The skipper/owner Roger Prout has had a lifetime of sailing. From dinghy sailing when he was a boy to trailer yachts and keelers to maxi yacht deliveries and racing. He is a qualified skipper and sailing instructor and is delighted to pass on his skills to others.

We are also associated with the Gulf Harbour Yacht Club and occasionally participate in their races. All enquiries are welcome. We can design a cruise to suit every need.
