Doesn't sound like this family have been told they can just sail here.

But sounds like the local industry is trying to organize shipping for a bunch of boats (without owners) so they can be sold in NZ. Would be a reasonable outcome for a bunch of people if that can happen. Not to mention the taxes paid straight to the govt.

The family in question have already been back to the UK and now returned to their boat, prior to all this publicity, as a NZ citizen I can fly direct to the UK and walk off the plane to visit my offspring anytime at present, this may change as Britain wakes up slowly .

heard today from a Kiwi yacht about to depart from Fiji to NZ. They have been told when they arrive back in NZ they cannot quarantine on the yacht, they must quarantine in a hotel quarantine facility.

 

Interesting because just yesterday the boat 5-Kiwi's Afloat posted just the opposite on Facebook? Said that they were now allowed to do their quarantine on the boat and do it even if the passage time was under the old 12-day rule... guess time will tell the truth

You have too not need fumigation, not be bio-fouled and have provisions for the remainder of the 12 day period.

Provisions includes being fully self contained, including power/gas, fresh water and appropriate black water treatment/storage space.

Otherwise it's off to quarantine...

Usually its any provisions are confiscated and disposed of on entry so assume they are changing the rules in that department.
