Island Time 1,284 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 good work Brendan, great boats! Be careful of a winter tasman crossing, be prepared to wait for a window..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I look forward checking her out one day. got a bit of tidying up to do when she gets back but excited to get out racing and cruising on her! Will most likely not do any racing on her until Meister sells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 congrats mate, Nice boat. You will have alot of fun in her. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I saw she was listed at AUD79k, which is a lot less that you would expect to pay in NZ. Is that indicative of the difference in Aust/NZ boat prices in general, or did Meister just get a screaming bargain? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muzled 140 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Is it the same as this one? https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1615542707 Looks like it'll be a fun trip across the ditch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
El Toro 105 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Squealer is ex The Butcher and is a 10.5, not a 1050 Bottle of rum to whoever eventually buys her and changes the name back... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Mark aussie prices do seem a bit cheaper than NZ but you have to factor shipping/delivery costs plus gst so that does add a big chunk on and of cours the exchange is going the wrong way currently 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bad Kitty 283 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 should be home by July Typo there? Should read "be home by November, leaving July, via New Cal, Vanuatu, Fiji maybe" There, I fixed it for you! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kestrahl 10 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Hi Mark aussie prices do seem a bit cheaper than NZ but you have to factor shipping/delivery costs plus gst so that does add a big chunk on and of cours the exchange is going the wrong way currently The Aussies mostly sail under IRC and are buying newer boats, the Elliotts sail fast downwind but rate badly so they aren't worth much.
