FOR SALE
It is with regret that we put " Erica" on the market
She was a dream in the 1970's, a collection of ideas and materials in the 1980's then a build in the 1990's.
Finally being launched in 2001. We prepared her for a circumnavigation and excitedly left NZ shores in mid 2006 returning in late 2016. What a journey we have had!
With beautiful memories and not getting any younger it is time to turn to the next chapter in our lives and give someone younger the opportunities and adventures we have had.
You can look at NZ "Trade me" for her listing and details of her sale
