Pacific Spirit

Mauatua in her youth - now renamed Pacific Spirit

Vessel Name

Pacific Spirit
Owners Dave and Anna Williams
Acquired  

Background

Pacific Spirit was originally Mauatua.  She had been neglected for some years and was in quite a sorry state. She has now been re-named and is in the process of having a major refit from the keel up. Hopefully, she will be back sailing in another two months and, all being well, will be heading off to Fiji in the New Year. As soon as all the work is finished, I'll be pleased to submit some pictures and more detail.  DW 7-Oct-2003
