Beneteau Bruce Roberts 44

price €44,000 + 6% help to buy service (if required only)

44 foot Bruce Robberts with almost new Yanmar engine. (1000 hrs)

We are in Malaysia now and the plans are/were to sail into the Indian Ocean.

General improvements, a poor krone exchange rate and a minimum pension mean that we must look somewhat realistically at whether we can continue this life in the coming years.

Or another solution is perhaps to sell half of the boat (300.000 NOK) and use it about 6 months a year, so that the other owner half can use it the other 6 months.

We could also arrange up to 3 months shift – and possibly sail together for a while.

The vessel needs a new upgrade of safety equipment:

New fleet (the old one is more than 20 years old), emergency rockets, new batteries for EPIRB transmitter, mob buoy. Need another new small 2.10m rubber PVC - RIB dinghy - the old one is from 1998.

New household batteries. 4X with about 100 amps on each battery

Maybe a complete check on the standing rig. 8 years old now.

New ropes for the running rig. The sun takes a heavy toll in the tropics.

Antifouling . Application of Jotun Seaforce 90. has purchased and is on board.

Food and always something else.

We would like you to participate with the upgrade work.
