The New Zealand 45 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass. It has a masthead sloop rig, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 22,000 lb (9,979 kg) and carries 10,515 lb (4,770 kg) of ballast. The boat has a draft of 8.00 ft (2.44 m).[1][2]

The boat is fitted with a Pathfinder diesel engine of 50 hp (37 kW). It carries 80 U.S. gallons (300 L; 67 imp gal) of fuel and 200 U.S. gallons (760 L; 170 imp gal) of fresh water.[1]

The boat has a hull speed of 8.1 kn (15.00 km/h).[2]

gollark: You said, yes.
gollark: Your knowledge of modern computer things isn't too useful unless you are in a time with microcomputers. You can't make those without large scale integration of semiconductors, which I'm pretty sure you know very little about.
gollark: You need to teach everyone everything, you need to know a lot of earlier stuff you probably *don't* about how your shiny new knowledge of electromagnetism and whatever were derived, and you need to make people actually able to use it, which is really hard.
gollark: You're constrained by manufacturing.
gollark: The future is like now, except Macron was developed.
