The MRX fleet in Auckland is made up of of 11 identical 10.3m Bruce Farr designed, NZ made purpose-built racing yachts. They are used for National and International match racing, fleet racing and club racing.

Available for charter, these yachts give the thrill of racing and a chance for everyone to race like Dean Barker and Russell Coutts on the sparkling waters of Waitemata Harbour.

The fleet has been a key element in the development of NZ's vast talent of young sailors to national and international elite keelboat sailing culminating for many in successful America's Cup careers.
