Syndicate shareholders Peter and Avril Bristow tell us what life is like on board. “The thing that gets us every time is when we anchor in a bay is the design of this yacht. She swings to the breeze, we open the front door and the huge now trademark ‘garage’ door at the back, and we have a breeze straight through the galley, and the saloon to the aft cockpit. We take a cold beer from the two-door fridge freezer and wander off to the second cockpit at the front of the boat or the sun pads up on the top deck. We are usually three couples and instinctively when we are into the marina we walk up and down the docks looking at the other cats and reaffirm our preference for the Bali design. Halyna has ample storage above and below decks so gear for live aboard is not an issue.”
“We spend all our available time on board, sometimes a week and sometimes two at a time, and when we get to the boat it’s clean and prepared by the YSM team. This year in Queensland we have been north to Magnetic Island and beyond to Orpheus, Dunk, Hinchinbrook, and Cairns. We go where we want – when we want. My cost at $225,000 a share and $1,450 a month is 1/8th of the capital cost and the monthly outgoings are a small fraction of the cost of running a whole boat.”
Halyna has just one remaining share and Yacht Share Mariner are offering this share at a $22,500 discount as 5 months of the 3-year contract have passed. This coming summer Halyna will be based at the Gladesville Bridge Marina at the centre of Sydney Harbour with access to Pittwater, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens.
