KIERAN RAUPI LUSTY & BLUNDELL

Written by

Accomplished boatbuilder Kieran Raupi has joined the crew at Lusty & Blundell’s Tauranga branch.

Kieran has an extensive background in aluminium boatbuilding in New Zealand and Australia, from runabouts to superyachts, including commercial and naval vessels. Starting as a fabricator, Kieran finished his boatbuilding career as a project manager.

“That experience has given him a thorough understanding of the mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems used in both new builds and refits,” says L&B’s sales manager, Bob Fassio.

Kieran’s role in L&B’s popular Tauranga branch sees him supporting the company’s travelling representatives and providing practical advice and appropriate products in store.
