That is *way* too long a delivery trip for a 36 footer.


When we were thinking about the boat in Hong Kong I considered either self
delivery or hiring a delivery skipper and crew but in the end I decided for
that boat (a deep keel racer/cruiser) and those distances (HK to Australia
east coast) the wear and tear on sails, rig engine and the boat in general
would probably make the total cost equivalent to shipping.
