'Zana' / 'Konica Minolta' 30m Maxi
'Zana / Konica Minolta' was built to race the first time in the 2003 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race when she was one of the two biggest boats ever in the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.
She has the maximum overall length of 30 metres and the IRC upper speed limit of 1.61 (the maximum handicap rating).
Super Maxi 'Zana / Konica Minolta' is a state of the art carbon fibre construction and incorporate the latest concepts in design, hull engineering, rigging, sails and trimming techniques. 'Zana' has a fixed keel but has opted to use a rival system of water ballast to optimise her performance.
'Zana / Konica Minolta', designed by New Zealander Brett Bakewell-White, was launched in Wellington Harbour on the 18th of Oktober 2003 and was built by Hakes Marine.
