nick32 0 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Hi Phoebe, I may be able to assist you with your delivery. I am a NZ professional yacht delivery skipper. I am currently in Durban and will be heading to Cape Town in about a week, delivering a 50 foot cat from NZ. I would have to fly to France or the States, spend a couple of weeks there before flying to Tahiti. I am fully vaccinated 2 x pfizer. I may be able to get there by mid to late Oct. If the timing works for you, let me know. Reply here or contact me direct cptnmike2005@yahoo.co.nz. Cheers Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saylar008 1 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Hello Phoebe, I may be able to assist. I am an experienced offshore racing skipper/sailor and have my own blue water boat as well (currently in the Philippines, but due to make its way home starting in March or so next year). In the meantime I am looking for a ride back to NZ for Christmas. I am a New Zealander, fully jabbed (Moderna), and able to travel at short notice.

Jason Watene 0 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Hi, Phoebe, Did your father happen to get his boat back to NZ? My email address is tjwatene@hotmail.com. I have a commercial Local Launch Operator so have some knowledge about vessels... Not too much sailing though but I'm sure I'll learn. I'm currently working offshore in middle east and want to get back to NZ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
