TAWERA is a stunning 30m Ketch from the world-renowned New Zealand shipyard, Alloy Yachts. She has a wonderful history both as a family cruising yacht and as a proven regatta winner having collected trophies all around the world, including 3-time Millennium Cup winner and winning the Cyclades Cup in Antiparos both in her division and overall, in 2024.
