Erewhon
FollowErewhon is a Roberts 38 Offshore Ketch. Made of steel with a centre cockpit, she was built in Dunedin in 1992. Erewhon has spent most of her life in the southern waters, with many a trip to Stewart Island. She has ventured offshore with 2 trips to the islands of New Caledonia and Vanuatu. We moved her north to Whangerei at the end of 2014 and are now preparing to bring her to Fiji.
