Nautor Swan 60

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

Have you ever considered sailing off Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, the SW Pacific and other locations nearby but think it is just too far and too expensive to get there.....well, here is your opportunity to rethink this.

Currently DREAM CATCHER III is docked just north of Sydney in the spectacular Pittwater area where there are some beautiful and well protected cruising waters. From here it is an easy hop down to Tasmania or over to North and South Islands of New Zealand. To the east and a little north are some of the spectacular Pacific Islands we all hear about.

Add to this, the current owner for the past 19 years, who lives in Australia, is available to manage your Swan 60 after your purchase and of course help with route planning. All the qualified shipwrights and marine vendors one needs to maintain a boat like DREAM CATCHER III are in the Sydney area.

Bottom line, there are no longer any excuses. Just pack you bags and provision DREAM CATCHER III and off you go.
