All American Marine is the exclusive manufacturer for Teknicraft Design™ in North America. The Wakatere, Teknicraft’s proven hydrofoil-assisted catamaran pilot boat, currently operates in the Port of Auckland, New Zealand. We work with each of our operators to design and construct their vessel to the highest quality, best value and superior performance for any vessel in its respective class. This Pilot Boat design will perform with EPA Tier3 engines. Other traditional monohull boats require more power and T4, which don’t fit! Wakatere is the first foil-assisted catamaran pilot boat in Australia or New Zealand. Built by Q-West of New Zealand, this unique catamaran design incorporates Teknicraft’s hydrofoil supported hull, and has a fuel consumption of less than 1 gal/nm fuel when cruising at 28 knots. With a top speed of over 40 knots it can reach a ship, and be ready to transfer a pilot within a short time.
As always, Sagitta spent the winter ashore at the Multihull Centre, Millbrook, Cornwall. I first came here in 1982, we built our Gwahir, Gypsy, Wizard, Elf and Eclipse here, so it's very much a home from home! This winter a major job was to fit a Tidestrack mainsail luff track which hopefully will make it much easier to hoist the mainsail. I have a high tech "black" sail which is very much lighter than my old dacron sail - I can easily carry it unaided - but it's still an effort to raise. The mast is still down because it's much easier to crane the boat in with the mast down and then step it after launching. The video was taken from the top of the cabin roof and shows just how many different multihulls are packed in for winter storage - and this is only part of the yard! The boats vary year by year, this year there are four Sagittas and two Windsongs in the yard.
