Weathersfield is an ocean going masterpiece and a fine example of New Zealand craftsmanship. Built by Barry Jones Ship Builders in Matakana NZ from triple diagonal plank New Zealand Kauri using the West Epoxy System and Dynel fibreglass reinforced in outstanding condition and meticulously maintained by the current owner.
She is an Australian Registered Ship currently operating in Sydney with an AMSA 1E commercial survey, licensed to carry 30 passengers plus 2 crew. The vessel holds a liquor license with excellent food catering options, a website and all marketing in place.
She is well known on Sydney Harbour with a great following with forward bookings including New Years Eve but can and has operated in exotic ports like the Whitsundays as well.
This vessel is extremely flexible providing the unique lifestyle of sailing anywhere during the off season or even an extended ocean voyage, then returning to Sydney or any other Australian port where the vessel covers all the costs of owning a vessel like this. Could it be time to take the plunge and have the best job in the world doing what you love?
The current owner is retiring and will commit to providing full support with familiarisation and handover to ensure a smooth transition.
