Notice

Amani is currently out on the dry in the yard at Chatham Marina.

The masts are currently down & are also on a stand in the yard, please see video: https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B285Uzl7Vc1rQgv.

Renewal works of the rig that started in June 2024 were left in an incomplete state by a rigging company that went into liquidation. Instruments such as the Simrad Radar, radar reflector, furling gear & wind transducer have also been lost in the process.

I have met with another local rigging company (October 2025) who evaluated the state of the rig and have given a ballpark quote for recommissioning the masts that I can provide to the next prospective owner.
