Marten 49 'Carrera' Stars at Hamilton Island Race Week
29 August 2007

Nothing could compliment the Marten 49 better than the magnificent location of Hamilton Island and the crisp clear waters of the Whitsundays.

After making her Trans Tasman cross, the Marten 49 'Carrera' became one of the star attractions at Hamilton Island Race Week. Blending her unmatched style with her dynamic performance, Carrera drew the attention of competitors on the water and magnetized a crowd of viewers at her berth - she was truly one of a kind.

Having started the week with a crew who had never met, let alone sailed together and many who had never raced onboard a Marten, the Marten 49 went on to prove she was more than just a magnificent looking yacht. Winning two races and placing second overall in Premier IRC, the combined crew of New Zealanders and Australians finished the regatta with smiles on their faces and new found friendships.

After the final race it was evident why this yacht is so popular. Ready for a well-earned change of pace, Carrera was transformed her from her racing form into her cruising form, ready to explore The Great Barrier Reef.

Featuring elegant lines, a luxuriously appointed interior and innovative engineering, it is no wonder why production of the Marten 49 is doing so well. With two currently under construction and a slot deposit from the Sydney International Boat Show, the Marten 49 has generated a momentum of interest and excitement.

Designed and built with panache and precision, the Marten Yachts range, consisting of the Marten 49, Marten 67, Marten 72 and Marten 85, delivers unique yachts of distinction.
