Just in Time

'Just in Time' is a catamaran designed by Alan Wright and Angelo Lavranos. She was built in Auckland and launched in 2005, by her owners Jock and Leanne Tucker. From 2005 til 2009 a lot of work was done finishing and getting her up to sailing standard. In 2009 we undertook our first offshore trip to Tonga, Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia and back to NZ. This trip provided a snapshot of the Pacific and gave us lots of insight as to what we wanted to return to do. 'Just in Time' has stood up to the ocean crossings well and we have every faith in her to get us wherever we need or want to go. Fiji has been our favourite and have cruised here each year since then. The people, diving and cruising here is fantastic.
