ENL Partners in Superyacht Success

by NZ Marine on 11 Aug 2008 New Zealand built superyachts scored highly in the annual World Superyacht Awards in Italy in April – and marine electronics company, Electronic Navigation Ltd, was more than an interested bystander, having supplied electronics packages to all three yachts.

Alloy Yachts’ VVS1 was voted best Displacement Motor Yacht under 500 gross tonnes; Fitzroy Yachts’ Salperton was voted Best Sailing Yacht in the 30m – 44m size range, and Flyghtship Construction’s T6 won Best Displacement Motor Ship 500 to 1299 gross tones as well as the Motor Yacht of the Year Award.

ENL supplied project management where required, expert personnel and electronics packages to all three superyachts.

Gareth Hodson, General Manager NZ for ENL says the company’s investment in technical expertise enables it to provide technical back up and personnel with a huge depth of experience.

Furuno marine electronics have become the equipment of choice for superyachts, with owners usually having strong preferences for the equipment fitted to their boats.

Electronic Navigation Ltd (ENL) is a New Zealand electronics company, founded in 1946. The company's main office is located in the Auckland marine district of Westhaven.

There is also a branch in Nelson, at the top of the South Island to service the southern ocean fishing industry, and an extensive dealer network throughout the country.
