Comment es Joel Tetro – “Just came across your site and see you had Khadine there.

That was our family boat from I think 1980 to 1994.

We had a lot of fun and love with that boat.

I don’t know where she is now, last I knew she was in Tauranga but heard a rumour some years back she was in Auckland”.

Khadine was owned by John and Greta Taylor (of Revlon fame) of Mana in the late seventies and had a professional skipper (local fisherman) look after her.

She’s not an old boat but has some nice old styling about her.

Realy nice lines, I like her stern/ transom shapeing.
But I’m struggling with her mast position, sorry to be today’s ‘nit- pick’.
