I may have a chance to move to New Zealand and work for a while. If my wife and I do this we will try it for a year and then see if we want to do it longer ( I suspect we are going to love it there because we were there last fall for three weeks and loved it). My question is how long would it take to sail a boat to New Zealand? And how well equipped would it have to be. Or would I be better off selling it here and buying one there? At a cursory glance the sailboat prices there seem pretty high. And I don’t think I could sell my 36 RH and replace it with any thing even close quality wise for the money I would get for it. From what I’ve seen 36 RH go for 35,000 to 55,000 range even so I could not replace the quality of boat for the money even here for that matter. So I’m in a dilemma because I’ve been fixing up this boat for the last six years to go cruising on and I think I’m finally on the downhill side. I still have plenty of work to do but the big stuff is done (floor replaced, all the rotten wood replaced, repowered with an yanmar…). So I’m reluctant to just sell it now and there are still items that have to be finished before I can sell it now or I will not get anything close to what it is worth (like the headliner). So is it feasible to try and sail it there or are there shipping company’s that could get it there at a reasonable cost? I feel like I’m going to have to give up one dream to pursue another but I can’t think of a better place to have my boat either so I want my cake and I want to eat it too any suggestions?
