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.

Not so sure, had the whole hull been Monel then perhaps so. I have a
problem with a monel to steel weld at or near the waterline. I could
understand a steel cabin and decks as a way to cut cost, but to only
do from the water line up seems like a bad decision.

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.

That would be my choice, however the boats a bit small, and as others
have said has been on and off ebay several times. You'd have to go to
Singapore and make sure all is legit.


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

Enjoy it, live the dream. Don't sigh and dream about other boats in
far off ports.
If you must dream about getting a rust proof metal boat try to get
Asperita a 4 mm thick copper-nickel alloy hull buildt in 1967. The
link below even has the current owners name and address......Good
Luck!
