Ken Bolderston's 30ft trimaran on Port Nelson. The vessel is believed to be the largest of its kind in the South Island. Originally, Ken and friends intended to sail her to Cook, Tonga, Tahiti and New Caledonia, but this has been abandoned in the meantime because of crew problems. The vessel took about 3000 hours to build and includes accommodation for four.
