Re: 42' blue water cruising up to 55k USD

Re: Crazy Idea? Beneteau 331 to NZ?

I would be keeping every receipt if I did this. From flights over to inspect, to provisioning, etc. I think at the end of the day it is a wash other than the trip expenses are more easily...

Re: Crazy Idea? Beneteau 331 to NZ?

Very interesting! If you are ever down in Nelson please let me buy you a pint at my brewpub as I'd like to talk about your trip more! No interests in making a 'profit' but I think there could be...

Re: Crazy Idea? Beneteau 331 to NZ?

Looking at buying in the US. Really looking at any of the 30-40 boats including Catalinas, Hunters, Beneteaus. A boat that is in the $40-$50k range in the US is comparably in the $150k+ range in New...

Crazy Idea? Beneteau 331 to NZ?

Am I crazy for thinking that a Beneteau 331 or similar could be sailed to New Zealand? Not looking for a family experience or anything other than simply wanting to sail it vs. shipping it to NZ. ...
