Wai Aniwa is the latest addition to our Electron Fleet. Wai-Aniwa is the 1074th boat in the family of Electron Yachts. She carries the livery of the famous Dick Carter designed 1 ton boat owned by Ray Walker. She won the One Ton Cup in 1972 when sailed by sailing legend Chris Bouzaid.
Endless Summer. This Electron is an early model purchased off Des Townson by Penny Whiting. Penny ( daughter of Darcy) is another legend on the Auckland water front. She is renowned for teaching many thousands ( mainly Females) to sail. If you have sailed on the full size Endless Summer you will want to skipper this version.
