Deliveries – Sailing Vessels

January 2024 Hobart to Sydney... Well, 6 years after our first delivery, Bruce decided to enter the two handed division of the Sydney to Hobart.  I noticed the entry and contacted Bruce to wish him well. His reply was "Last time for me - age has caught up with common sense!" a quote which...

  Lake Macquarie to Adelaide October 2023... Laura and Steve searched for a long time to find this Elan 434 and the wait was certainly worth it. A very well appointed vessel with all the 'extras' to make for a great second home. After a small amount of concern about getting out of the...

Gold Coast to Hobart August 2023... Ian Mackenzie from The Catamaran Company Coomera contacted me to ask me to deliver this lovely cat to Hobart for the purchaser. As both Murray and myself both enjoy sailing cats the only downside was being in the middle of winter, weather is lovely up at the Goldie...

New to sailing and the ocean, new owners Glen and April had day hopped from Sydney to Coffs but decided it was time to experience overnight sailing and in order to feel confident, they asked me to join them in order to understand how to safely navigate through the islands and rocks and often...

Brisbane to Sydney July 2023... We delivered Antony's previous yacht 'Banter' a couple of years ago and although Antony has enjoyed sailing the First 45 felt the need to downsize to a performance cruiser that he and his family could manage and enjoy more easily. The Salona built in Croatia is a lovely very...

Tin Can Bay to Coomera May 2023.... Owner Ray decided that it was time for him to retire from sail and cross over to the 'other side'. Power cats are becoming more and more popular especially for the beautiful cruising grounds in Queensland and Ray is going to explore that avenue.   Ian MacKenzie...

Yamba to Sydney April 2023 Will bought this well used yacht to enhance his desire to sail the oceans. Previously owned and used as a live aboard for a young family Santana has been very well maintained and has lots of great cruising features which hopefully new owner Will learns to appreciate. Having Murray...

Sydney to Melbourne March 2023 After many months of searching for the right boat, Keith chose Hamamas (pigeon for friend) as the boat to buy. He motored her from Newcastle to Pittwater where she underwent a standing rigging upgrade prior to me meeting up with Keith and his friend Tim who was to join...

Coffs Harbour to Sydney December 2022...        James and Fiona have only recently purchased this great new cat. After taking delivery in the Gold Coast, together they sailed north as far as Pancake Creek. Now it was time to get to Sydney for family Xmas commitments so I was asked to assist in...

          Coffs to Sydney December 2022... Again with work constraints, James was unable to complete the final leg of the return voyage of Astros back to Sydney and again I was fortunate that Phil was available and keen to join me for the trip. A quick 36 hours with favourable...

         Hammo to Sydney October 2022... Probably the best prepared yacht I've had the pleasure to deliver. David and I met up at Hammo when I arrived to pick up Rumba a couple of months ago and showed me over the boat and I was immediately so impressed with the display of...

  Hobart to Sydney October 2022...                 Don purchased this very fast Elan S4 and asked me to assist him and one of his crewmates Tom to sail her back to MHYC in Sydney. I had just finished the previous job so booked to get to Hobart a...
