Lahana is a fixed keel water ballast yacht that was built in 2003 in NZ and designed by Brett Bakewell-White. She previously raced under the name Konica Minolta and Zana, and is now owned by Peter Millard and his brother in law John Honan. Lahana underwent modifications aimed at making the yacht perform to the best of her abilities under her IRC rating.

Both Peter & John have been competing in all the offshore passage races up and down the east coast including the CYCA’s Blue water Pointscore Series, with the boat taking line honours in the Bird Island Race in September. In last year’s Rolex Sydney Hobart she finished eighth across the line.
