Moving to Hawaii, bringing the boat

Post by eodjedi »

Well looks like I'll be moving to Hawaii at the end of the year. I plan to ship the boat out there (free of charge of course), use it for a few years, then sell it for a premium. Sailboats in Hawaii are exceptionally high in price I've noticed. Then it's on to a bigger boat. Any Mac owners living in the Honolulu area?

Nope, wife and I are looking toward the live aboard lifestyle. Seriously considering Jeanneau 440 though I would love a Seaward 46RK. I mean it's like a Macgregor 26m on steroids. Too bad they are so damn expensive.

We've seen other Mac owners bring their boats with them.

Chopper Pilot had some nice photos.
