"RIKKI" is a custom built Reichel Pugh 42, in sensational condition and with plenty of runs on the board to prove her worth. The concept was derived from one of NZ's most experienced race yacht owners and due to the effort in ensuring the best layout and inclusions were not compromised in any aspect and the professional build in NZ by Davie Norris Boatbuilders, the results are simply outstanding. With a 70/30 offshore focus and all eyes towards IRC racing, she is a boat that really loves to stretch her legs. She is certainly no slouch in the technology department, notable inclusions being: � E-glass and Foam core construction, with carbon reinforcements throughout � a high modulus Southern Spars TPT/carbon rig, with split topmast backstay and deflector system � Carbon rudder and bowsprit � a lifting propeller shaft � a comprehensive top end sail inventory (18 sails), � Pedestal driven Harken winch package and Harken deck gear � B&G 3000 instruments and gauges with forestay load cell reading, GPS and AIS � Below deck race fitout with dedicated nav station � Lithium Ion batteries � LED lighting "RIKKI" has every safety item required for Category 2 Offshore Racing, including 2 x RFD liferafts, Sailor Satellite Phone and 2 x EPIRB's to name but few... She would be an ideal boat for an owner in Australia with offshore ambitions, very capable of getting the results as shown in this year�s Pittwater to Paradise (Southport) race and regatta where she achieved a credible 3rd place IRC and 2nd place ORCi in the 2018 QLD Australian Sailing Yachting Championships.
