Aroha 2022
Aroha- a classic, coastal cruiser
When Aroha came on our radar the entire Brooklin Boat Yard crew found a new boat to fall in love with. She is as easy on the gas as she is on the eyes, classic yet at the same time contemporary, and above all, she is remarkably seaworthy in a variety of conditions.
Aroha was designed by Peter Sewell and was discovered in New Zealand by Off Center Harbor founder, Maynard Bray. The Brooklin Boat Yard design team collaborated with Sewell and Off Center Harbor to produce plans and a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) kit for home builders.
The boat’s modern lightweight construction and minimal 38 horsepower diesel power plant allow her to live on a trailer, be towed to a variety of destinations, and burn next to no fuel underway. Her fuel consumption numbers are .26 gallons per hour at 7.5 knots and 2.1 gallons per hour at 17 knots.
