She is a turn key boat with nothing to spend. Everything is in tip top shape and ready for the new owner to enjoy without the hassles of having to spend time and money on upgrades.

For the serious racer, Makani was first set up as Honeysuckle and highly optimised for racing by Michael Spies and also had some very good results in the 5 Sydney to Hobart's she competed in under the previous name of Black Sheep.
