We are urgently looking for a boat (any type as long as it can hold up to 4 people plus captain/skipper) to shadow a 6.5m Landing Craft as it sails from King Island to Melbourne this Friday (15th April).

The boat must be able to carry the four documentary crew, plus 9 small cases of camera equipment and luggage. The boat will be used as a support vessel for the four boys traveling in the 6.5m Landing Craft. We plan to film the boys in from the support boat and travel alongside them. The 6.5m Landing Craft can travel up to around 10knots, but happy to go slower if needs be.

We are filming a documentary called The Green Way Up, in which 4 guys travel around Australia on biodiesel only. 6.5m Landing Craft will run on biodiesel. We started in Tasmania (sailing to Three Hummock Island, then to King Island) we now need to sail to Melbourne in order to continue our journey in a biodiesel car all the way to Darwin.

The boys will collect waste oil as they go which they will turn into biodiesel to fuel the car.

If you have a boat, or know anyone who can help us. Please let me know!

Thanks

yes we have
