NZ South Island, Tahiti, Cook, Tonga, Fiji - 2027
In early 2027, the plan is to sail the NZ South Island and in May 2027 look for a weather window to Tahiti. From Tahiti doing the island hop back to Fiji and another passage to NZ before end of Oct 2027.
The plan is to have at least 3 people on board; myself and at least 2 others. You will have your own double cabin with a separate shared head/shower.
My situation is that I am single, recently retired from the IT industry, have 3 grown up children that are very low maintenance, have been sailing on other peoples yachts for the last 10 years and have now taken the plunge and purchased one.
The Amel Super Maramu 2000 is purpose designed for a small crew to circumnavigate. It has a 100Hp Yanmar engine, a new 7kw Generator, new standing rigging Apr 2026, dive compressor, hookah dive system, air conditioning, 1 day fridge, 2 large switchable fridge/freezers, 600l diesel, 1000l water, water maker, 2 autopilots, Life Raft (2024), 5 watertight compartments, electric genoa & main sail furling, 2 private double cabins each with ensuite head & shower, very safe centre cockpit with all controls in arms reach, etc.
