    Arcadian is a 15 meter Junk rigged schooner with a spacious, great live aboard interior. She has been set up for long distance cruising and is for sale in Whangarei New Zealand. Details and photographs can be see on trademe.co.nz advertisement number 596843308. Talk to Annie Hill if you want an independent opinion of the vessel.

      She is a fast and seaworthy vessel and has a draft of only 1.75 meters so can access some of those shallower cruising destinations. A few minor items are needed to make her ready for extended offshore cruising. Contact me directly on email at davidianwebb@gmail.com or by phone at 00649 439 2029 or 006421 031 0057.

    Arcadian has just had her annual haul out in early January, two coats of antifouling and new zinc's, so is good to go for another twelve months. We hope to get some cruising in before the winter.

    Arcadian is heading for the Queensland Coral Coast this winter, she will arrive sometime around the end of May if all goes according to plan. Any Australian members or viewers interested in purchasing a junk rigged vessel or helping to crew on the cruise please contact me via email or the forum.
    Thanks, David

    We got north of the Three Kings and with two crew so seasick that they were in danger of severe dehydration and two of the remaining three also seasick we decided to turn back to Opua.  It took two days for the severely seasick to recover by which time we had decided to cancel the trip and return to Whangarei. We have some work to do on Arcadian so will haul out shortly. Once she is back in the water we will sail locally and hopefully make a second attempt next year.

    Recently completed a month long cruise in the Bay of Islands and Whangaroa. Also took part in the Bay of Island's junket where she became the party boat for the evening get together' s. As we no longer live aboard permanently and she is a bit big for our present needs she is still for sale.

    We are in Australia again this winter. Arcadian is still for sale in Whangarei and is listed with Vinings Shipbrokers, the local broker is Sam Cannell. We will return to New Zealand in Late October and refit for some more cruising in New Zealand waters, if she has not sold by then.
