Rayglass Boats; cover, cost and conditions

Rayglass Boats builds fibreglass powerboats in Auckland, New Zealand, with roots going back to 1985, when Tony Hembrow began developing glass boats in Pakuranga. Two families carry the brand. The Legend models are hardtop boats for fishing and family trips, while the Protector rigid inflatables have worked for rescue services and on race courses. Legend names use four digit numbers that roughly give the length in feet times one hundred, while the newer Protectors carry three digit numbers with Chase or Targa added.

Our model records list 29 Rayglass models: 17 RIBs, six motor boats and six models filed as motor yachts. Recorded build years run from 2004 to the present, and 14 models continue into current production. Lengths range from 6.1 to 12.8 metres, with half of them between 7.2 and 11.5 metres. The Legend line runs from the Legend 1950 at 6.4 metres through the Legend 2500 at 7.7 metres to the Legend 4000 at 12.5 metres. The Protector Chase and Targa models from 250 to 410 measure 7.5 to 12.5 metres, and the Protector STD, SL and XL Cabin versions 11 to 12.8 metres.

In New Zealand these boats are towed to the ramp on a Saturday morning and run offshore for snapper or to an island anchorage. Engine hours, the state of the tubes on a Protector and the electronics fitted for fishing weigh heavily in their value, as does whether a Legend has twin or single outboards.
