hi looking for any advice or experience on getting a 33 well founded yacht from Sydney to Geelong asap. Options are sailing although not the best time of the year (June) or freighting it down on a truck
I did this same route via truck earlier this year. Cost about $3800 just for trucking. Lift out/ in and rigging would be additional. I think spent pricey $1300 @ Pittwater for rig romoval and travel lift. $600 for crane Geelong end, and got crane to lift mast back up. Geelong has no travel lift, so Sandringham (other side of bay) maybe be easier in that aspect. I used boat transport (mark Anderson). They worked well for me. Another option recommended to me by a fellow club member was Allboats. I got similar quotes from both. Timing of truck availability settled me in one over the other. I'd suggest contacting both for quotes. A quick google search will bring up thier contact details. Oh, and measure how wide your boat is as they will want know that. A regular 33' monohull should be fine, but above certain width the road authorities deem it a wide load with all sorts of expensive requirements. Escort vechiles daylight only etc
