Welcome to the website
for the yacht Candu II.
Candu II is a
Whiting half tonner, designed and built by Paul
Whiting in 1976. The yacht
was originally named Candu II, renamed Vice
Squad, then Can Do Too and is now Candu II again. It is one of only three that were built,
the more famous one being Newspaper Taxi.
The yacht was
purpose-built to race in the World Half Ton Cup in
Trieste, Italy in
1976. The very light,
choppy conditions did not suit Candu II and
she finished 6th overall.
Candu II was raced for many years in Auckland
and overseas before moving to
Wellington.
There
have been a number
of changes over the years. For more information click on
history.
