| Hakes Marine latest build out testing her sails |
 Tuesday saw the launch in Wellington of the latest build by Hakes Marine, a Judel Vrolijk designed 52' race yacht. Haspa Hamburg is the 14th 'Hamburg' of the Hamburgischer Verien Seefart (HVS) a Hamburg based club with a history stretching over a century and whicht has a focus on giving young sailors the opportunity to learn and exercise offshore sailing.
The engine test was completed on Wednesday and today she is out testing her sails…and what a beautiful day it is. Hakes Marine completed the build in only seven months and Henning Rocholl, Vice President of HVS has been very positive in his first impressions saying that 'what I have seen in the few days since I'm here, makes me proud of what we have established with all combined endeavours'. Completing the package is a carbon mast from Hall Spars and sail wardrobe by Doyle Sails. She will be in Wellington until the end of January when she will be sailed to Auckland to be packed up and shipped to Hamburg.
