would you consider or do you know anyone that would be keen to sail her down to Melbourne? shes a beautiful top hat, i can see the love put into her.

[Gerard]

Thanks. To be honest, the furthest south I would be willing to sail her is Batemans Bay, as I get pretty sea sick every time I take her offshore (which is one of the main reasons I'm selling her). I'll see if my mate knows anyone who would be willing to sail her further.

[LandofNod]

No worries mate. Let me know. I will happily pay for someone to bring her closer to Melbourne.

There are a couple of us here that could help at the right time of year. Shaun, who used to own Nightcap might jump at the chance to get back aboard.

Hi Derek, Is NightCap still for sale at this time. If it is I would like to come up from Geelong either Monday arvo but more likely tues morning. I am serious about buying her and would relocate her in due time back to Sydney. The easiest way to let me know is to call or txt me at 0491604051. We can then discuss details if of course she is available. Many thanks, hope to hear from you today. cheers.
