The Gypsy Crew
Gypsy’s permanent crew are members of the Penchev family. They are tasked with maintenance and upkeep of the boat as well as ensuring she takes part in classical yacht regattas and events.
Members of the public are welcome to join the team and can visit Gypsy at the Heritage landing in Auckland. There are regular open days announced on the Classical Yacht Association website at http://www.classicyacht.org.nz
