Enza New Zealand




Originally the Nigel Irens designed catamaran “Tag” built in Canada in 1984. Bought late 1992 and re-modelled she became Enza. Skipperd by RKJ and Peter Blake, she attempted to beat 80 days around the world in 1993 but struck an object in the Southern Ocean and withdrew. In 1994 with the same skippers she got around the world in 74 days 22 hours 18 minutes, thus setting a new world record and gaining the Jules Verne Trophy. Sold on to Tracy Edwards and re-named Maiden, with an all girl crew she was dismasted in the Southern pacific when trying to better this time. She was subsequently sold to Tony Bullimore.
