21.01.2022 This is a brief video for Kiapa. More information is happily given. Please just Message me. Thanks Lionel

17.01.2022 Kiapa, The stunning aqua-coloured Morelli Melvin designed 52ft (15.8M) "Gunboat"catamaran. Custom built in Schooner Creek Boatworks, Oregon, she is widely recognized as a fast, strong, sleek, performance-oriented cruising cat. Her simple but ingenious design enables true off-shore long distance cruising in safety, comfort and style. Fast? Is she ever! Her elegant, light hulls combined with her powerful rig and high tech sails easily push her along at near wind speed or bette...r in light air. And the high bridge-deck clearance means she does so ‘quietly’ and in great comfort, even in the lumpiest of seas. Professionally custom built to the highest standards and subsequently meticulously maintained, Kiapa is in immaculate condition and ready to sail away for the next adventure. Kiapa is perfectly suited to a couple or family. Her spacious interior is appointed with style, combining a traditional nautical theme with a modern European look. The large and well-appointed galley includes a two-door fridge, separate freezer, oven, cooktop, microwave and double sink. The saloon has a gorgeous mahogany fold-open table, easily seating up to 8 guests. To starboard is the ‘owners hull’ with an airy ensuite which is also accessible from the transom. The port hull has a double bed and two bunk beds, a spacious ensuite and a washing machine. Kiapa is fitted out with high quality electronics, Andersen winches, fittings and sails. She has a 12v 40 litre per hour Spectra watermaker; 720W solar array (6 panels); sizable 11ft dinghy with 20hp Yamaha 4 stroke outboard, gas BBQ, inflatable kayak, 2 EPIRBs and all the safety gear you need. There is a ‘ditch bag’ that the US Coastguard commented on as the best equipped ditch bag he had ever seen. She is kitted out with all you need for blue water cruising, but great care has been taken to ensure that there is nothing ‘unnecessary’ and that all her systems are as simple as possible to keep maintenance to a minimum. The deck grip is a new fantastic grippy but soft (yoga mat like) product called Seadek. It insulates as well, by keeping the boat cooler or warmer.

16.01.2022 Kiapa has now moved to The Boatworks, Coomera, Queensland

10.01.2022 This has been our fantastic voyage across the Pacific from San Fran to Yamba NSW 2011 to 2017. I have perfected my 1,000 mile stare now

09.01.2022 This is Kiapa's track since we arrived in New Zealand and used Yachts in Transit (https://www.yit.nz/yacht/kiapa). Prior to NZ we reported on get jealous.com. For more details of daily log entries see https://www.yit.nz/yacht/kiapa

06.01.2022 Kiapa now has new owners, John and Shawna. They have spent the last two weeks onboard sailing from Gold Coast to Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. Irene Bass and I wish them "Bon Voyage" and may the wind, sun, waves and bless them as they sail off into the future.
