The Sea Blade’s unique hull form delivers stability and comfort which makes it a perfect platform for supporting the Team.

Team Alvimedica Marketing Director Andrea Tagliamacco said, 'Having a high performance RIB is key to providing our guests with a unique, comfortable and safe on the water experience'.

The Sea Blade initially joined the team 25 kilometres north of Auckland for the arrival where it provided a front row seat for the Team Alvimedica’s media team.

Charles Winstone of Sea Blade, 'it has been a great opportunity to work with Team Alvimedica who I think has been adopted by most Kiwis as the boat with the most New Zealanders. It has been fun supporting them and we look forward watching them for the rest of race'.


Team Alvimedica’s racing resumed on the 12th March with the first Pro-Am race with daily in port racing until the now delayed leg start . During which time the Sea Blade will be on duty as a support and media boat.

The Sea Blade will launch the first production model at the Hutchwilco Boat show this year and is set to be game changer for sea worthiness and luxury. For more information http://www.lancer.co.nz/sea-blade-beyond-performance/ or contact Lancer Industries Ltd 0064 9 837 1206 info@lancer.co.nz
