Subject: RE: [AlbinVega] Vega on a container
Hi Roger,
I sent this email a few days ago be for some reason wasn’t delivered-
No I didn’t send it, probably a mistake as a Vega here in good condition is worth good money. Are going to live in Aus?
The shipping cost in 2007 from Marseilles to Melbourne with MSF Line was about US$6900 plus other charges and taxes could add up to another US$3-4000.
Yes I live in Melbourne, my sailing here is confined to Westernport near Melbourne in a mates 26’ Folkboat, (like a baby Vega)
Marina berths for 8-10m boats In the Melbourne area ranges from about A$3600 - 5000 pa. Sydney should be similar. You can get moorings on buoys for about A$400-500pa
The main area for sailing in Sydney is Sydney Harbour, which has a lot of smaller harbours off it like Middle Harbour etc. My favourite area is about 20 miles north of Sydney called Pittwater, which has several marinas and lots of moorings, lots of islands, estuaries, hot weather and quieter. If my boat was in Sydney it would definitely be at Pittwater.
Hope this helps, if you would like to contact me off group, I can give you more info, pics etc. ch.rees@...
Cheers Chris

Hi All,
Thanks for the info on the potential move.
and these are the costs:
1) Submersable boat, 15000 USD for the trip from Mayorca (I Still had to get there from gibraltar) to Sydney.
2) A special platform which had to be welded to the deck, €12,000.
3) Another welding platform, ,,,,,,,€13,000
So I guess I can not take my loved Ocean Sunrise, it is sad, very sad but if you know any one who might want an ocean crossing vessel, please let me know, it has a brand new main sail (not even out of the box, I thought we were going to sail around the world) a new number 3 (yep it does not has a rollerfurller).
The asking price is 4,900€ just the sails were 2,000€ (I forgot the amazing Spinnaker)..............................and they all have less than 40 nm usage
We hope for a great and worthwhile.
Cheers
Roger and Jas

Hi Chris,
So I guess you did not send it? I am trying to send mine from Spain to Sydney coincidentally.
I notice your email address is in Oz, do you still do sailing? what are the mooring fees like? How much did they quote you?
Cheers
Roger

Subject: RE: [AlbinVega] Vega on a container
Hi Roger,
I looked into the possibility of shipping my Vega from France to Australia about 5 years ago and there are 2 options. The first and cheapest is by RO/RO (roll on roll off) the same way that cars are shipped, this way the Vega would have to be delivered to the port on a trailer. The second option is called “Out of Gauge” shipping when the cargo is over wide or over high to fit in a normal container. The cargo is shipped on a 40’ flat rack container, which has no sides or top (used for shipping heavy or overwidth cargo) the Vega would have to be on a cradle or possibly a trailer. The excess on price isn’t much more as the Vega is only a few inches outside standard size because of its width. A lot of companies can give you a quote for RO/RO or Out of Gauge shipping. Hope this helps. Cheers Chris/Vega339

Subject: Re: [AlbinVega] Sump pump on BetaMarine BZ482
Hi All
I supply the Betas to vega owners worldwide. We do not have the oil sump
pump as there is plenty of room beneath the engine
to drain the oil during a service. This applies to Series II & III Vegas.
Series I Vegas have very little room and again are supplied without a pump.
The only way to drain the oil is with an electric pump
through the oilstick hole. Some Vega owners also have the shallow sump for
Series I Vegas but it is not needed.
Hope this helps. Any more infor needed then please contact me via
steve@... <mailto:steve%40albinvega.com> <mailto:steve%40albinvega.com>
Cheers
