The builder’s story

Wētā began in New Zealand with Roger Kitchen and his son Chris. Drawing on Roger’s experience teaching children to sail, they set out to create a boat that combined straightforward handling with lively performance. Tim Clissold of TC Design contributed the original design.

What began as a garage project grew into an international sailing community. The Wētā earned Sailing World’s Boat of the Year recognition in 2010.

Easy to take sailing

Foam-sandwich fibreglass hulls pair with carbon beams and a two-piece carbon mast. The builder describes a roughly 20-minute solo rig-and-launch process. Packed on its beach trolley, the boat occupies a footprint comparable to a Laser.

The standard package includes three sails, a beach trolley and protective bags. Wētā Marine also lists a self-tacking jib as standard on new boats; confirm the equipment supplied with your order.
