First Flying Tiger roars into Auckland

'Big news' for those that race medium sized keelboats, is that the first Flying Tiger 10 arrived in New Zealand – the first ever opportunity for owners and syndicates to purchase a brand new line-honours racer for a total cost of $155,000 incl. GST and ready to go.

Long on the waterline and lean on the beam, the boats, from the drawing board of American designer Bob Perry, were inspired by the legendary New Zealand racer cruiser class, the Ross 930.
