Don Webb built a reputation in New Zealand for crafting serious bluewater cruising vessels — robust, purpose-built, and designed to handle the world's oceans with confidence. This 1989 17.5-metre monohull is a prime example of that heritage, offering three-cabin accommodation and a beam of 4.1 metres that delivers genuine liveaboard comfort without compromising seakeeping ability. At 17.5 metres, she carries the kind of volume that makes extended offshore passages not just possible, but genuinely enjoyable — room for provisions, gear, and the breathing space that long passages demand.

Her shallow draft of just 1.0 metre opens up anchorages and coastal cruising options that deeper-keeled bluewater boats simply cannot access. Based in Auckland, she sits at the gateway to some of the Pacific's finest cruising grounds — Fiji, Tonga, New Caledonia and beyond are well within reach. Whether you're planning a Pacific circuit or chasing a life afloat closer to home, this Don Webb represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well-regarded New Zealand-built cruiser with real offshore pedigree.

Priced at NZD $395,000, she offers substantial passagemaking capability at a realistic price point. Inspection strongly recommended.
