Lotus 10.6 'Parisienne'

New motor still under warranty

Length: 10.60 Metres (34.76 Feet)

Year: 1984

Boat Location: Auckland City, Auckland, NZ

Description

Designed by Kiwi Alan Wright and famous for being well-balanced and comfortable at sea, Parisienne was built in 1984 from the Lotus Yachts mould.

She has just been re-powered with a new Volvo D1 30hp (over $30,000) which is still under warranty. The motor has been fitted with a heat exchanger to provide hot water.

Parisienne was used in the early publicity for the Lotus 10.6 and still retains its original colours. The propeller shaft and bearing were replaced in 2017 and the boat motors along beautifully at 6 to 7 knots with a kiwiprop.

Parisienne has been a delight to sail. She has been meticulously looked after and comes with all the bells and whistles:

Gas system recently made compliant (new ENO stove, sealed container for gas bottle vented to the cockpit drain and auto on/off fitted - over $5000)
New stack pack mainsail cover from SEAM Tech (who also performed mainsail maintenance).
New Nilsson winch
Garmin GPS and Depth Sounder
Fridgetech Freezer
Solar panel with Mppt Solar Charge Controller
Antifouled with Ultra 2 and Propspeed in February 2025
Bimini (OceanSouth) with additional removable cover between bimini and dodger
Innersprung commercially made mattress on Forward Berth
Puffin 260 RIB with UV cover (negotiable with the sale of the boat)
Possible continued use of marina at Westhaven – currently $325 per month.

Hi, I haven’t had the mast out during our 12 years of owning the boat. The rigging all looks very sound and we haven’t had any issues with it. myers.s (55) • Tuesday, 16 December 2025

We’ve just had a lovely trip on her around the gulf. We are now in our 70s and have decided to let it go to someone else to enjoy. myers.s (55) • Wednesday, 14 January 2026

Hi, she looks great. I'm curious about the $325 per month to keep her at Westhaven? a 10-12m berth seems to be over $1000 per month. Thanks. nordisk1 (79) • 10:57 am, Thu, 15 Jan

Currently we rent the marina from a previous owner of the boat who has kept the rent at that level. He has a lease on the marina which will expire in September this year. After September the marina will need to be rented from Westhaven at their rental rate. myers.s (55) • Thursday, 15 January 2026
