I need to move a medium-sized sailboat onshore for repairs. Are there any yards within 200km of Sydney? If you also know the monthly cost, that'd be great. Cheers!

Thanks Kurt. "Situated on 7 hectares of waterfront land"...so about 17 football fields.

Just one minor thing, depending on your schedule and what draft "medium-size" is; last time I spoke to them our 2.1 or so metre draft could only get up to Oyster Cove when there were particularly high tides.

Cheers Chris. Yeah, it's about same so could be tricky.

Thanks Ramona. Would that be Jervis Bay Boat Storage? Looks like a boneyard for boats

Yes it is. This is where insurance jobs go and steel boats go to die! My mate has his Roberts 34 there at the moment and I know his boat will be there for a short stay. Other boats I know that went there for 3 months ended up there for 5 years or so!

Yeah, I'm afraid of that. I don't want to check in to Hotel California just yet.
