More than eleven years of worldwide management, from Antarctica to the Arctic
Facts
| Vessel | Classic aluminium sailing yacht of about 37 m, built in Europe, name withheld |
|---|---|
| Owners | A private European family |
| Managed since | March 2015, more than eleven years and continuing |

| Our role | Full yacht management: captain and crew, technical, refits, flag and registration, crew employment, compliance, accounts and worldwide shore support |
The problems we solved
Taking over at a day’s notice
The problem: The owners needed a new manager immediately, with a change of captain under way and a major rig refit ahead.
What we did: We assumed management the same day. Captain Richard Morris stood in as captain while we recruited a new captain and crew, took control of every account and supplier, and ran the first rig refit, taking her 40 metre masts out through a Sydney bridge channel to the yard.
The result: Continuity from the first day, and a yacht back in commission within months.
Support at the ends of the earth
The problem: Antarctica, Greenland and Svalbard are among the most remote cruising grounds on the planet, with no yacht services, long supply chains and permits, insurance and crew arrangements that must be right before the yacht leaves.
What we did: We plan and support each voyage from our office in Australia: permits and clearances, insurance, spares and logistics, crew changes and travel, and shore support wherever the yacht is, in any time zone.
The result: Worldwide cruising, from the Antarctic to the high Arctic, with the management team on call throughout.
