Opua wharf s busy season
In the first week of the new year, parked end-to-end on one side of the small Opua wharf were three substantial marine craft. First to arrive, and technically the smallest of the three in length, was the 40-metre luxury catamaran called The Beast, painted camouflage-style and owned by jeweller to the stars, violinist and golfer, Sir Michael Hill.
The Beast is one of the largest boats made in New Zealand and if she needs any more distinction, she was built in landlocked Foxton. She has been described as capable of going everywhere except Antarctica and (presumably) the Arctic.
