Tewaka
FollowTewaka is a 12.5 m Elliott Tourer. She is a lightweight in the cruising world being only 6.8 tons (before souvenirs, fuel etc) she has a lifting keel and can draw either 5'6" or 9'. The boat performs very well as all of Greg Elliott's designs do. We started our journey back to NZ from Bergen in Norway mid last year. After living and working away from NZ for many years we are very excited about living in Aotearoa again. We have been joined by our nephew Logan MacDonald in Tonga and he is sailing home with use. We are hoping to leave on Monday or Tuesday this coming week. We would like to check in with your SSB morning roll call if that is OK.
