Eric, just for your (and others) info. “Aroha” is pronounced “Arrow – Ha”; a beautiful Maori (“Maui” with an ‘r’) word. Quite different pronunciation to “Aloha”…… language; it’s a funny old thing.

A beautiful boat with plenty of waterline! I too would like to see an electric propulsion system as an option in the plans.
