The Yachts

Makaretu

 

This yacht was originally built for world cruising and has covered many miles in the Pacific with previous owner K Harris and two small sons as the only crew.

Built of 5/16 steel plate she is immensely strong, and, being heavy, prefers strong conditions.  She was designed by Breekfeldt and built by McRae Engineering, Whangareim N.Z. Her adventurous previous owner is with her as crew.
