Pick of the week - Aotearoa

Nb Aotearoa is listed with ABC Boat Sales for £55,000.  Click here.  Very appropriate as Mick grew up in the land of the long white cloud!

We like the dark green paintwork, and the standard layout.  This boat has everything we need but it isn't the cheapest of boats for its age.
