Why compromise between performance and fuel economy? The 2017 Edlin 1020, Wairoa, delivers an impressive balance of both, powered by a shaft-driven Nanni 200hp diesel engine and a thoughtfully designed hull.

Cruising comfortably at an economical 10–15 knots, Wairoa offers a remarkably soft ride and the ability to plane at lower speeds than many conventional designs. When required, she can reach up to 20 knots, making her equally suited to relaxed coastal cruising or when extra pace is needed.

Built for durability and low maintenance, Wairoa features a robust strip-plank timber core, fully sheathed in fibreglass inside and out. This construction provides excellent stiffness, insulation and strength, complemented by lightweight ply, foam and fibreglass sandwich construction in the decks and cabin tops.

Inside, the practical layout is ideal for weekend escapes. The forward cabin offers 1.9m of standing headroom, a generous V-berth and ample storage. Two additional single berths sit beneath the raised saloon and helm seating, while the saloon table and settee convert to provide another berth. A functional galley, starboard-side helm and raised L-shaped seating create a comfortable space with excellent visibility underway or at anchor.

The practical cockpit is designed for easy maintenance and entertaining, featuring a gas BBQ, fold-down transom for convenient boarding, and three cockpit sole hatches providing storage and access to the hull structure.

Combining economical performance, robust construction and versatile accommodation, Wairoa is a distinctive coastal cruiser offering a compelling alternative to conventional production boats.
