The Don Webb 17.5m represents one of New Zealand's most respected production cruising yacht legacies. Built in 1989 by renowned Kiwi designer and builder Don Webb, this 17.5-metre monohull carries the hallmarks of a serious bluewater passage maker — thoughtfully proportioned, robustly built, and designed for the long haul. At 4.1 metres of beam and a shallow 1.0-metre draft, she offers exceptional interior volume and versatility in anchorages that deeper-keeled yachts simply cannot access.
Three separate cabins provide genuine live-aboard or offshore crew comfort, making her equally suited to extended family cruising or shorthanded ocean passages. Don Webb yachts earned their reputation on the water — not in a marketing brochure — and examples of this vintage remain highly sought after by buyers who understand quality construction and seakeeping ability. Now available in Auckland at NZD $395,000, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of New Zealand yachting history that still has serious miles left in her.
Inspection will not disappoint buyers who know what to look for in a blue-water capable vessel of this calibre.
