Clipper 3
Another ferry for Pine Harbour Marina. This ferry was added to the fleet to help service the runs between the marina, down town Auckland and various destinations in the Hauraki Gulf.

Coastal Cowboy
Coastal Cowboy is the follow on boat for an existing client. The client’s previous boat (Coastal Cowgirl ) was launched in 2005, but the owner found he required a larger vessel, so an up scaled version was ordered.
This new Elite Midpilot House Motor yacht has increased in size to 18 mtrs. The challenge here was that the owner was already very happy and satisfied with the interior of his existing boat, but set down the challenge for Parkhurst Design to come up with an interior colour scheme that is even better than the last. This has resulted in an interior colour scheme that is sophisticated palette of texture and subtle pattern.
This boat has been exhibited in Australia at the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show and was featured in the May/June 07 edition of Oceans Magazine and the June/July 07 edition of Sea Spray Magazine – see attached article.
