WAIONE-ONE OF THE FAMILY
New Zealand is a unique environment for classic boats and there are a high number of yachts that are sailed there as they have been for 100 years or more. Waione is one such yacht. Designed by Chas Bailey Jr in 1907, she is 96 years old and in perfect condition, having never been restored. She is steeped in history. Her story includes 17 owners. She is a cherished member of the family with her current owners, John Bertenshaw and Kristy Hardie Boys, who have refitted her with the original 1907 gaff rig. This has turned her back into one of New Zealand’s finest performingclassic racers. A Video Waione-One of the Family is available now for purchase
