The valuations were done by a
surveyor and a
broker. You can question whatever you like.
Australian buyers are far better educated about catamarans than US ones.
And they are all used boats - mine was brand new. I never dispute you can buy a
used boat cheaper. In fact you can find used boats for free.
Oh yeah, and the Schionning wouldn't be a production
boat anyway.
But certainly I'd be looking at different buyers from those likely to buy ex-charter motorsailers. Luckily, as I said, there are people in Aus who want boats that sail.
