When Aroha came on our radar the entire BBY crew found a new boat to fall in love with. As easy on the gas as she is on the eyes, classic yet at the same time contemporary, and above all, remarkably seaworthy in a variety of conditions. The design by Peter Sewell, was discovered in New Zealand by Off Center Harbor founder Maynard Bray. The BBY design office collaborated with Peter and Off Center Harbor to produce plans and a CNC kit for home builders. The first boat using one of these kits is currently under construction at BBY and a how to build video series is being filmed to accompany future kits. The boats modern lightweight construction and minimal 38 horsepower diesel power plant allow her to live on a trailer, be towed to a variety of destinations, and burn next to no fuel underway. Her fuel consumption numbers are .26 gallons per hour at 7.5 knots and 2.1 gallons per hour at 17 knots.

I like everything about it except the overly heavy and elaborate skeg. A lighter and simpler more straightforward one would perfect this thing. Watched every episode so far.
Guilty as charged. Sorta. Editing a massive series like this is a big job and will take time. Once we get through the boat show, it’ll get more back to normal.
Interesting transpo-trailer under her in the photo

You guys have been hustling and holding back the videos.
Agreed!

This beauty is the future!
