About this charter

Haparanda is a distinguished 70-foot classic schooner originally crafted by Lex Lundmark in 1960 and comprehensively restored by John Lundmark in 2008. Combining a robust steel hull with sweeping teak decks and rich timber joinery, this New Zealand sailing vessel presents an enduring standard of traditional seamanship in Auckland. Surveyed for up to 30 day guests, the vessel provides an authentic tall-ship ambience under canvas, capable of reaching 12 knots under sail or cruising quietly at 9 knots powered by her Gardner diesel. The broad main deck offers generous vantage points for surveying coastal panoramas, while below deck, an open-plan midships galley and climate-controlled saloon provide shelter in classic comfort. For multi-day coastal voyaging, Haparanda sleeps up to ten guests across three private cabins, assisted by separate crew quarters. Modern appointments including an onboard watermaker, sound system, and a 3.5-metre tender ensure self-sufficiency on remote island passages. A 2023 profile of the vessel records a 95hp Gardner auxiliary engine, a beam of nearly 15 feet, and berths for more than 12.
