Metre Yachts For Sale

Below is our current range of metre yachts for sale, directly from the owner or based at the IMYM boatyard between Falmouth and Truro in Cornwall, South West England, UK.

NZL10 & NZL12
International America's Cup Class Yachts

Designed by Bruce Farr and built as IAC Class development yachts for N Z Challenge in 1991, NZL 10 and 12 led to New Zealand’s dominance of the America’s Cup during the 1990s.

Americas Cup yachts   Ex Americas Cup Boats

Over-engineered from the beginning, NZL 10 and 12 served as the departure point for more radical designs such as NZL 14, 20 and 38.

NZL 10 and 12 were used as development yachts and training boats by NZ Challenge’s 1992 and Team New Zealand’s 1995 AC campaigns. They were then used for the highly successful Road to the America’s Cup regatta, similar in format to the upcoming Louis Vuitton Pacific Series, in 1999, prior to being sold to private owners in 2000.
