Lotus 10.6 Just Listed

Designed by the legendary Alan Wright and built right here in New Zealand, the Lotus 10.6 has long held a reputation as one of the country's best all-round coastal cruisers. Combining performance, practicality, and comfort, she delivers a sailing experience that's equally suited to weekend escapes or extended adventures.

Significant recent upgrades include a refurbished 27hp Volvo, a full antifoul system taken back to glass with triple primer and six coats applied in 2025, and new lifeline netting and dodger adding both safety and comfort. She presents exactly how you want a boat to feel - tidy, well cared for, and ready to go.

Below deck, the generous 3.6m beam creates a surprisingly spacious interior with 1.93m headroom, offering one single and three double berths. A well-equipped galley, hot water system (new in 2025), fridge/freezer.

Known for her "light-handed" feel, she responds easily on the helm, reducing fatigue on longer passages and making her particularly well-suited to short-handed or family sailing.

Rigged as a masthead sloop, the setup is simple and effective, typically comprising a mainsail and overlapping headsails such as a working genoa. This configuration provides versatility across a range of conditions, with straightforward sail handling and good balance when reefed. A large Sock deployed Gennaker for easy handling making summer cruising a lot of fun.

Constructed in GRP, the hull is paired with a fin keel and transom-hung rudder, offering a solid combination of stability, responsiveness, and ease of maintenance. The moderate displacement and hull form contribute to forgiving handling characteristics, particularly in variable coastal conditions.
