Probably just a pipe dream but..............

Anyone out there care to speculate on the delivery cost of a 36-foot
sailboat from Singapore to East Coast US?

Various methods:

Delivery Captain and/or crew???

By ship?????

Many thanks,

Yeah! Sigh!!!!!!!!!
Joe,

You have outed me here. Now we will have the thousands of Newsgroup
users from all over the world competing for this lovely vessel.

This boat is about 2 years too soon, I still need to work for at least
another bit before taking off.

In reality the only way to make this work is to think of it as an
opportunity, the boat is already where you want her. Go to her and let
her carry you on.

And, I already have a roughly similar boat, albeit steel and not monel,
in Newfoundland.

Sigh and sigh again.


I don't like to be a spoil sport but there are several yacht brokers
in Singapore and a pretty active yachting population.

Frankly selling the boat through e-bay seems strange for two reasons.
First, the boat size and price range is one that sells really well in
this area and , secondly, I checked two of the yacht brokers in the
area and neither list the boat.

Granted that there can be a number of explanations for this but before
you get too excited I would suggest that you contact some of the yacht
brokers in Singapore or SEA, and see whether they know anything about
the boat.

For brokers you could try Lee marine, Howison Marine or Simpson
Marine, google them for Singapore URL, one of them should be able to
give you some information on the boat.
