Roquefort is a beautifully presented Allan Wright 10.0, built in 1984 by respected craftsman Philip Wilson. Constructed in triple-diagonal kauri epoxy over kauri frames, she represents the strength, character, and timeless appeal of classic New Zealand yacht building.
Over recent years, Roquefort has benefited from an extensive and meticulous restoration by her current owner, an engineer with an exceptional eye for detail. With plans for extended cruising, no expense was spared in preparing the vessel for her next adventure. A change in circumstances now presents a rare opportunity for a new owner to enjoy the fruits of that dedication.
Significant upgrades include:
Near-new Yanmar 40hp common-rail diesel (90.7 hours)
Dripless shaft seal
Three-blade Max-Prop feathering propeller
New Jabsco marine toilet
Brass Monkey refrigeration/ice chest
Replacement through-hulls
New saloon upholstery
Refreshed saloon, head and V-berth finishes with new paint and varnish
Professionally refinished mast using a premium marine coating system comparable to those used in demanding offshore and commercial environments
Step aboard and the care invested throughout the yacht becomes immediately apparent. The interior is warm, inviting, and exceptionally tidy, while her systems and equipment provide confidence for coastal cruising or longer passages.
Under sail, Roquefort truly shines. Well balanced, responsive, and remarkably easy to handle, she delivers the kind of sailing experience that has made Allan Wright designs so highly regarded among New Zealand sailors.
Roquefort is more than a classic yacht; she is a thoughtfully upgraded cruising vessel ready to be enjoyed by her next owner.

Remarks
Roquefort is a beautifully maintained Allan Wright 10.0, built in 1984 by renowned builder Philip Wilson and constructed in triple-diagonal kauri epoxy over kauri frames. Combining classic New Zealand craftsmanship with significant modern upgrades, she presents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven cruising yacht that has been meticulously prepared for extended voyaging.
Her engineer owner undertook an extensive restoration programme with the intention of embarking on longer cruising adventures, resulting in substantial investment throughout the vessel. Major improvements include a near-new 40hp Yanmar common-rail diesel engine with just 90.7 hours, dripless shaft seal, Max-Prop feathering propeller, new through-hulls, upgraded toilet system, refrigeration, renewed upholstery, and extensive cosmetic refinishing throughout the interior. Even the mast has been professionally refinished using a premium coating system designed for harsh marine environments.
Under sail, Roquefort is everything an Allan Wright design is renowned for: balanced, responsive, comfortable, and rewarding to helm. Her appealing blend of classic timber yacht character and modern reliability makes her equally suited to coastal cruising, club racing, or extended offshore adventures.
An exceptionally well-presented yacht with extensive recent investment, Roquefort is offered in sail-away condition and is ready to be enjoyed by her next owner.
