Hi All..I am maybe looking to move back home to New Zealand (i can hear the cheers already) and im after some suggestions, recommendaions etc i see three options, Firstly is there anyone out there that would be intersestted in Sailing my boat from Sydney to Nelson (top of the South Island) The boat is a Beneteau First 405, or a 40 ft 1989 Beneteau in pretty good condition with lots of money spent of new electics, Rebuilt Perkins, etc, If so or you know of someone that has experiance in delivering boats, How much ??? or who ?? and what would be required IE addition equipment Etc Etc, or option Two, is to put it on a boat and ship it over, Does anyone know who is the best people to do this ??? any one done anything simalar ?? how much $ ?? or Option three Sell it and buy another sail boat over there, although they appear to be a little more expensive in NZ. So if anyone has a suggeestion of value it would be much appreciated. Thanks Chris..
Hi
may be able to help you , I am not a delivery skipper enjoy sailing , i work on commercial off shore vessels
sailed the ditch a couple times.
if you need a competant hand perhaps I could help
If you are going back to the "Land of the Wrong White Crowd" on a yacht I am thinking the option of sailing the yacht over there is the best.
With that your options are much greater.
Not a delivery skipper either but would love to help out with this adventure! Im a kiwi too. Its a dream.to sail there!
Hi All, Thanks to the guys that have sent me a PM, I am waiting to hear back from a shipping company for a price to ship, so once i get that i will be in touch, Again thanks for the great response and suggestions.. Thanks Chris

Hi Ben, We are going too. When are you looking at going? Would you want to meet a Lord Howe Island and go on together from there?
