Description

SY FREE WINGS is a remarkable sailing yacht built by the famous New Zealand shipyard Thackwray Yachts to a very high standard and build for safe and comfortable world cruising. Thackwray Yachts has built famous sailing yachts and tall ships like S/Y “SPIRIT OF NEW ZEALAND”, S/Y “AURASTEL”, S/Y “CHARDONNAY” and S/Y “AURASTEL”.
