Elixir is a 2007 Roger Simpson design fast cruising Catamaran. Modern lines with Catamaran favourites like forward tramps, stepped access transoms and a beach landing forward ladder incorporated.

Central helm station with captain’s chair, GPS, depth, wind sensor, auto helm, 2 x 15hp outboards (less than 8 years old), 312w solar panel, dinghy davits, 2.9m dinghy, Custom Mike Piearce Boatbuilders hardtop (less than 6 years old), electric drum - anchor winch and electric main halyard winch, all other winches are 2 speed, brand NEW (Willis Sails) big roachy main, self-tacking jib and a big spinnaker in a sock (simple but effective sail plan) Sails easily single-handed. Elixir’s oversized rigging and well-built hulls, easy to manage engines and systems on board will equally suit the novice and experienced sailors. This is a wonderful vessel for cruising NZ waters for weekends and long stay holidays. Comfortable liveaboard potential too and a lot more fun than anchored to a section!
