Which qualification to charter a yacht in europe
khayyam replied to swift_sail's topic in MarineTalk
we got ICCs to charter in europe. easy. bit of a nuisance to renew every 5(?) years but it's just paperwork and money. -
the fact that cg couldn't get out to them says a lot about the conditions, i'd say.
-
I would say yes, easterlies or thereabouts are often much stronger out of the harbour.
-
i hope it all goes through properly. seems like all too often these end up falling through somehow and being re-listed...
-
BOI was perfect. Wind kept changing, yes, but only so that we always had it aft of beam! Very convenient that.

Have you looked here? . https://at.govt.nz/about-us/harbourmaster/moorings/moorings-for-sale-or-rent/

that would be fun to see at first, for sure, to see what they build. but the racing would probably be awful.

Hm. There are lots of boats that satisfy almost all of the criteria, but I'm not too sure you can get something that will plane, and cruise to the islands, for 70k. -
we had a delta. worked well. if that's the size you want, i suspect you can get one pretty cheap.

sure. but berths at those marinas are quite a lot cheaper than the (relatively) central akl ones...
-
i'm thinking that it's rather far from population centres, though?
-
yeah i reckon it's the big increase in marina costs that has really killed boat values over the last ~5 years.
-
huh. sure looks like it should ship to NZ. might be worth following up w/ ebay...
-
absolutely true. on the other hand, if this sort of thing is not done well, it can be a disaster. that means the buyer really has to do his homework in order to figure out where on the gem-to-disaster spectrum a boat lies. that takes work, and hence why buyers tend to stick to class boats...

we had good experiences with lumley marine. do you already have a mooring? there may be issues around mooring location and specific insurers, too. iirc, lumley wouldn't insure in okahu bay (5 years ago anyhow).
-
impressive. not sure about the "cruiser" bit though.

Launch sinks after hitting moored yacht at Devonport
khayyam replied to ex Elly's topic in MarineTalk
Ugh. That mooring area has some drawbacks, but I hadn't consider that particular risk! -
hm. dunno. thieves in a hurry might well leave just such a trail.
-
lots?

don't the monos have foils now too?
