Something doesnt seem right here. Either the add is poorly worded or he/ she is way off the mark.
Its seems to be a delivery trip from the USA to Oz ..............

Please only bid if you want a sailing trip of a life time

You are bidding on one of four legs of a sailing trip across the sea from the USA

Contact the seller.

For sale is a sailing trip from the east coast USA to Australia .

It is a working trip and you will be involved it all aspects of the voyage .

This Yacht is a Jeanneau 37.2 . 3 cabin version ,a beautiful sailing vessel
It will be leaving the east coast of the USA and sailing the Caribbean down to the Panama canal

then across the pacific to New Zealand then to Australia. this trip will take six months and will be an adventure of a life time. it will cost around $48000

We will need to meet and there is still work to do on the boat , such as paint the bottom , load with supplies and plan the adventure.

what is this trip worth ,place a bid and see how you go.

There is a return airfare needed to enter the united states and a valid passport.

this is a hands on position and if you do not know how to sail or navigate , full training will be provided , and the end of this trip you will be an accomplished sailor.

if you can not spend six months away . I am prepared to split the trip in to 4 legs and pick ups from different locations along the way.

Please contact and discuss any issues or questions.

Please be aware of the costs involved In this trip, you will need to be able to share in costs ie food , drink and fees along the way. the safe season to start the trip is in December as it is the safest time in that region to start moving south ,To do the complete trip , half the cost will be around $24000 or one of the 4 legs will be around $6000 per leg . the cost across the panama canal is around $3000.


.... I can just see likely contenders falling over each other to get a position on this "trip of a lifetime"!!...

Am I being unfair?

Saw that one a couple of weeks ago.

A bit like "finance my trip and you can come too".
