		Originally commissioned by Auckland University in 2002, this large-volume, New Zealand-built vessel was purpose-designed for multi-functional use, including coastal exploration, island access, and marine research. Constructed by Qualicraft Marine using strip-planked timber and triaxial E-glass, it has proven to be a robust and seaworthy performer. With a shallow draft ideal for close inshore cruising or anchorage, this vessel also boasts generous deck space, excellent access to the water, and a practical open-plan layout designed for both utility and comfort.
