The sailing vessel Cinnabar is a custom Schumacher 52' sloop, designed by the late Carl Schumacher and built by Ian Franklin Boat Builders in Waikawa Bay, New Zealand. She was commissioned by her original owners and launched in 2002. She sailed into our lives in 2007.

Pic - Tahanea Middle Pass
Satellite image and Cinnabar's track to and into the atoll.
We anchored in 30' of clear water with a sandy bottom, good holding, and scattered bommies (coral heads). When the stormy weather cleared, this place revealed itself as a paradise: calm water, refreshing breeze, no bugs, no pollution, good diving, good exploring, very few people (a couple of other boats).
