wheels 433 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 I think I just found my dream boat. Does anyone know how they sail?? Sadly, the dream is going to remain a dream for a while yet. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/listing/2976006028?bof=xcto6eba Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 231 Posted February 14 Report Share Posted February 14 They are great boats,Wheels. Remember Primrose designed Sir Francis Chichester’s rtw boat “Gypsy Moth”. Also a bunch of early Moody designs (another bullet proof top quality marque). And I think the Challenger shares the same hull design as Voyager which are also highly capable, widely travelled yachts. Go raid the piggy bank.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 433 Posted February 14 Author Report Share Posted February 14 Even if I placed the piggy bank under a huge hydraulic press, I still won't be able to squeeze enough out if it. Plus the owners are in Germany and I would think that the purchaser is going to be up for a large GST bill on top of asking price. Do we have any import duties on Boats?

I'm also questioning the singularity (is that even a word?) of that statement wheels. I've got about 6 or 8 dreamboats on my list at all times... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 433 Posted February 14 Author Report Share Posted February 14 Yeah OK, I'm a boataholic too. There are times I look at the old Bath in my yard and wonder how she would perform under sail. 😉😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steve Pope 124 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 There are quite a few yachts "stranded" around NZ with their overseas owners unable to come to nz tosail them away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 231 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Yes despite overseas owner it’s in NZ and no more tax to pay. It’s a lovely boat but not a trendy one. I think it’s here at GH - if I spot it I’ll let you know. Based on what I’ve seen of similar era & style boats over the last few months, if it was me I would open negs around $70k and expect to close by $75k max. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
