This boat was the first boat that Norman Wright's built using fibreglass technology to its fullest. Furniture throughout the boat was built with honeycomb feather-lite panels and in combination with the fibreglass structure, resulted in a vessel both lightweight and extremely strong and durable.
We like to refer to this vessel as a classic style cruiser. "TERNA" was custom designed and built by us over a period of 8 months, then delivered to Norway for the owner
