Title
Sailing yacht charters - Bay of Islands - New Zealand
Description
Kim and Greta have a wide variety of sailing experience, both on the New Zealand coast and abroad. Between us we have over 100,000 sea miles under our belts. The two of us have circumnavigated the globe and Kim’s experience goes back to being second mate under Captain Bligh on the Bounty! We both hold New Zealand commercial skippers licences.
FairWind was started after global charter company The Moorings, for whom Kim had managed the Bay of Islands base for three years, withdrew from New Zealand in the aftermath of September 11. We perceived an opening for a smaller bareboat company that still offered vessels of a high standard. Kim’s involvement in the charter industry dates back to the early 80’s.
Greta was an owner of an 85-foot traditional schooner for 10 years; occupied in its construction and commercial operation. She is an experienced journalist, and still finds time to write for the local newspaper whilst being Mum to our children Rory (7) and Astrid (5).
