Richard Edlin 1020 Just Listed

Stop choosing between speed and fuel economy. Wairoa the 2017 Edlin 1020 delivers the best of both worlds with a sophisticated hull design that prioritises both.

You can experience an exceptionally soft ride at an economical 10-15 knots and have the ability to get up and go thanks to the hull's design allowing her to transition smoothly onto a plane at lower speeds than traditional boats, enabling a top speed of 20 knots at full throttle. This performance is delivered by a Nanni 200hp shaft driven engine setup to deliver superior thrust and economy.


Forget mass production, as Wairoa is a vessel built with integrity and low maintenance in mind. The Edlin 1020 is constructed with a robust strip-plank timber core, fully sheathed in fibreglass inside and out. This method provides incredible stiffness, superior insulation and an integral girder system for durability. Decks and cabin tops feature a lightweight, stiff ply/foam/glass sandwich, ensuring a low centre of gravity and a high-quality build.

Stepping in from the cockpit, you are welcomed to a thoughtfully designed interior perfect for weekend cruising. You'll enjoy full standing headroom of 1.9 metres in the forward cabin, which features a large V-berth and clever stowage. Wairoa comfortably sleeps four, with two single bunks tucked neatly beneath the raised saloon and helm seat. The saloon table and settee do offer another convertible berth, with the rest of the space configured where the helm station and functional galley run along the starboard side, while the raised L-shaped seating to port provides great visibility either at anchor or underway.

The simple, robust cockpit is built for action and easy maintenance. A gas BBQ opens up alongside the fold-down transom, also creating all time, easy boarding. Beneath the sole, three simple hatches provide storage and access to the hull structure. Don't miss the chance to own this rare blend of efficiency, durability and classic style. Wairoa is your smart, economical key to the coast.
