Threema will line up at the 2026 Kawau Race Week as a well sorted and familiar offshore cruiser racer, entered under owner Scott Sheppard, a well-known figure in New Zealand sailing circles.

A Jeanneau Sunfast 39i launched in 1991, Threema sits firmly in the proven fast cruiser category. The design has a long history of reliable coastal performance, offering a balanced blend of upwind efficiency and downwind pace that suits Kawau’s varied courses.

The boat received a major refit in 2022, with the entire rig removed and refreshed. New stainless steel rigging was fitted, along with a new furler and a full new sail wardrobe including a Lidgard Dacron mainsail and Lidgard performance headsail. The mast was also updated with new fittings, lazy jacks and lighting.

A solid, well prepared entry to watch around Kawau.
