The annual NZMAC ITO Marine Trades Challenge is back again and now in its 15th year. The challenge provides a unique opportunity for apprentices and tradespeople to show off their skills and knowledge in a boat building competition. Each team has a limited amount of time to build a catamaran, followed by an on-water race.
Last year Orakei Marine went all in and took out the Survitec team support & presentation trophy, the North Sails/Southern Spars trophy for innovation, the NZ MAC ITO trophy for health and safety, the 37 South best built boat trophy, and the Harken overall trophy!
We’d love for you to come on down and support our crew as we try to best last year’s efforts.
