We are Shayne and Anna and we live full time with our 3 kids onboard our 1990 Catana42S. Together, we are modifying our vintage production catamaran into a modern performance cruiser.

We are marine industry professionals and our skill set covers all areas including sailing, yacht and foil design, boatbuilding, rigging, and sailmaking. We have been involved in a number of America's Cup and Volvo Ocean race campaigns and are proficient in the dark arts (aka carbon fibre work) meaning our modifications to Paikea are done to the highest quality.

Along with the projects on Paikea, we also film our work on large multihulls including the Gunboats and other performance yachts. We share tips on sail trim, daggerboards, rig tune, what equipment we like to use and what to look out for when chasing performance.
