    I have an old one from a Chico 30. It is white though, not the "regulation" orange. Hasn't been used for decades. PM me if you're interested.

     

    Circumstances have changed an maybe buying new boat so wont be requiring one anymore.

     

    Thanks

    Need to remove keel definitely as you pay per container space

    So as it’s wider than 2.5m you would need at least two x 40’ spaces, maybe 3 as cradle will sit in one and you will extend into the two either side or possibly 6 with keel on plus the mast will be over 40’ so could be more unless they will put it in the scuppers

    Sail or if by chances there is a dockwise type ship coming this way ?

    You pay gst if applicable on the cost price plus shipping costs, but if you sail it yourself you can claim depreciation after sailing across on the cost price, about 10% per year

     

    I’m always up for an adventure

    How much depreciation could you claim for a tasman crossing?

    Yacht registration is NOT proof of ownership. It should have no bearing on the GST on a boat. My boat was built in Ausy, GST paid when it was 1st imported. Its been in and out of NZ several times, and Customs know about it, never been an issue. They dont even mention GST most of the time. A boat built in NZ and used here, has already had the GST paid, when new, or if home built, on the components. If the boat was sailed out of NZ, it should be able to be sailed back, with no additional costs, regardless of the period it was away for.

    Ring customs, and confirm for yourself...

    Spoke to customs today and say you have to pay gst because the boat was exported. I have sent and email to get an official answer.

    I’ve bought a couple of kiwi boats back from Ausy. Sailed out of nz, sailed back. No gst was incurred. If it was built for export, and exported new, I understand that’s different.

    What was the background with the yachts you sailed back from aus?

     

    Had they been sold to aus and then sold back to NZ? If so how long had they been in aus?

    Suggest you talk to Richard Thorpe at TNL Pindar for shipping advice. You should also clarify the GST situation, remember if GST applies it would also be charged on the freight and insurance cost if you ship.

    I deal with Richard for freight at work so will definately be talking to him tomorrow.

    How does the gst and duties work on a boat that was built and used in nzd until 2002 then exported to aus and then import back to nz some time later.

     

    Would duties and gst be payable?

     

    And what is the most economical way to ship a boat back to nz?

    There appears to be an entry in the cruising division now.

    Amazing I thought that boat was destined to be in the shed for eternity, ready to be discovered by archaeologists in the distant future. Well done that Man.

    Surely he could join us in the shorthaul....

    New Sails

    We tried with getting a handful of quotes and ended up going with Lidgard Sails who wasnt the cheapest but was well priced. Turned into a big mistake, headsail was a high cut foot, main had draught well aft and code zero had no shape.

     

    Tried to work with them for a while as i gave them a chance to correct, whole way theough i was told it was all perfect until we got a second opinion. in the end got money back for the main and they went into recievership weeks later which ment i was stuck with the other 2 sails. Have since sold them off for less than quarter the value.

     

    Went to North sails after this which had been recomended from the start, while they were a little more expensive all sails have been awesome and Booboo is a great help with setup and various ideas.

     

    We have a 3dl no1 which i believe was worth the extra dollars and many other norths sails which came to the boat and the shape and fitment was perfect from day 1. We are now looking into the 3di nordac for new main, reefing #2 and possibly #4.

     

    Would like to point out lidgards is now under new management but unfortunately from my experience i will never recomend nor go back there myself.
