Another market for you, Joe...

They delivered the wine in 2008 on a huge antique barque that most likely needed a crew of 30 and cost a fortune to rent. They also had on the drawing table a 6 million dollar euro looking cargo sailboat. I suspect they broke even or lost money since I have not heard a peep about them since then. People like the sailing aspect but they like paying less first for the same quality. So you need to cut the cost to market, not raise it. I thought about importing rum, but the ATF rules and paper work nightmare made me decide to pass. Coffee, spice, tea all make great cargos as they are compact and easy to deal with. Coffee is the second most traded item on earth after oil so I figured it's an area where you can grow if you work hard and provide a good product. Joe So how are you doing on getting another shipment ready? Are you looking for an existing vessel, or going the build it route? -- Richard Lamb http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb/ |
