Balshazar

The hull form has a fine entry with a generous waterline beam to make her perform well in open waters as her Wellington based owners do much of their boating on or around Cook Strait.

In the Mid Pilothouse design configuration the engines are amidships under the saloon sole, this allows for a flatter shaft angle which improves propellor efficiency and lowers draft. Easy access to the engine room is via a door in the forward guest cabin, while large hatches in the saloon sole cater for engine servicing and maintenance requirements. The hull form is one that performs well with modest horse-power and has excellent sea keeping qualities.

The interior décor on Balshazar was designed by Jocelyn Morrison.
