Rigging Up Rivals: Zannekin and Ambush receive the Hall Spars treatment in Hong Kong

The Hall Spars New Zealand team have been in Hong Kong assembling the rigging on the new Ker 46, Zannekin. Zannekin is a light-displacement, fully carbon-racing yacht designed to perform to the highest level across a range of conditions in mixed fleet, inshore and offshore races and Hall Spars was pleased to contribute to the yacht's upcoming regatta campaigns.

She was berthed next to her rival, the Mills 41 Ambush which recently won the RHKYC Nations Cup thanks to some great crew work and some good boat speed. Both of the high-performing new yachts are Hall Spars NZ launches and both were meticulously crafted by McConaghy Boats. The Ker 46 has a high-modulus two spreader carbon mast and carbon boom.

Anarchy (YD37) launched

One new launch that has been getting plenty of hype – and rightly so – is the 37ft performance racer Anarchy, designed by Bakewell-White Yacht Design and launched by Yachting Developments. 

Built for her Kiwi owner, Anarchy drew together the talents of a number of New Zealand companies and we were delighted to be involved in supplying the high modulus carbon mast and rigging to the new build. 

Designed to be light and fast on the water, after making her debut at the Jack Tar Auckland Regatta Anarchy has many more races ahead of her including the SSANZ ANZAC 200.
