Rio 100

An iconic race yacht in the 100ft Super Maxi class designed by Brett Bakewell White. Launched as Lahana out of the Hakes Marine in New Zealand. Rio 100 has a long race history and track record under her current ownership and in the past as former Zana and Konica Minolta.

In 2014, under her new ownership, Rio 100 went through an extensive refit to essentially rebuild her at Cookson Boats in New Zealand. The rebuild involved a new hull aft of the rig, new rudders, and a new lifting keel to allow access to smaller marinas. Various other upgrades were done to the interior with the major upgrades being a new electronics package and a new engine. The total upgrades to Rio were in the region of USD 250 000.

Rio 100 emerged a new modern Race Yacht but still retained the essence of offshore racing by maintaining the use of manual power and not opting for the full hydraulic winch systems of the newer Maxis.

Rio 100 has had some great success after relaunching:

2014
• Yates Cup Line Honours
• Sydney to Hobart 4th finisher

2015
• Carbo Race Line Honours
• Transpac Barn Door trophy (Line Honours)

2016
• PV Race Line Honours and Course Record
• Pacific Cup Line Honours and Course Record

2017
• Transpac Barn Door trophy (Line Honours)

2019
• Transpac The Merlin trophy (Manually powered line honours)
