Built originally as a private yacht by a shipbuilder in New Zealand.

The vessel accommodates up to 12 people comfortably for extended passages. Accommodations include three double berth cabins and an owner's cabin at the aft of the vessel, with three additional berths and the captain's quarters up forward.
