Hakes Marine is a New Zealand shipyard based in Wellington, founded by Paul Hakes in 2002. Known for its TP52s, the supermaxi Zana, and several IMOCA Open 60s designed for the Vendée Globe. The yard was dissolved at the end of 2012; Paul Hakes then co-founded HH Catamarans in China with Hudson Wang, before leaving HH in 2024 to launch Shift Yachts with his son James (design in New Zealand, production in Thailand).

Trajectory
Paul Hakes trained in New Zealand with leading race sailboat builders of the time, including over a dozen years at Cookson Boats (60+ boats delivered). After a stint in Germany as project manager for Illbruck Challenge (Volvo Ocean Race), he returned to Wellington and founded Hakes Marine Construction Limited on April 26, 2002. The yard built custom race sailboats — TP52s, IMOCA 60s, supermaxis — and operated until its dissolution on November 20, 2012, when Paul Hakes left for China to co-found HH Catamarans with Hudson Wang.
