Article in the Wanganui Chronicle

An aluminum trawler yacht designed as a compact yet rugged and seaworthy vessel for exploring rivers, canals, lakes and the oceans of the world. Powered by a Sabb 2JHVP 30 hp diesel engine with controllable pitch propeller, Boojum is trailerable, yet capable of crossing any ocean. Note the 3 keels which offer great roll reduction, provide lift for windward sailing, and act as a tripod allowing the boat to dry out or travel the roads on a flatbed. The rig is designed for singlehanded raising and lowering.
