Broker's Comments

Designed By Laurie Davidson, the NZ Guru who broke the USA's monopoly of the Americas Cup with his boats NZL 32 (1995) which beat Team Dennis Conner’s boat, Young America in five straight races and Team New Zealand (2000) which successfully defended the trophy against Luna Rossa.
This 48 Custom though is a very different, but still slippery, animal, robustly constructed in NZ she is designed to cross oceans in comfort and safety. She could benefit from some cosmetic upgrades, but the basic package is all there and ready to go.

American Flagged ( USCG Registration )
