The second time to deliver this J130 – this time was after the Sydney to Hobart.
This was our second delivery aboard this J/130, having previously relocated the yacht before being engaged again following the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Repeat deliveries of the same vessel demonstrate the confidence owners place in professional yacht delivery when relocating valuable racing and performance cruising yachts.
High-performance sailing yachts require a different approach to many production cruising yachts. Lightweight construction, deep keels, performance rigs and specialist deck layouts demand experienced handling during offshore deliveries. Yacht Delivery Solutions has relocated a range of racing and performance yachts, including J Boats, TP52s and other high-performance offshore designs, applying the same disciplined passage planning and conservative decision making used across all professional deliveries.
The J/130 is a capable offshore performance cruiser, combining race-winning pedigree with comfortable passagemaking ability. Following a demanding offshore event such as the Sydney to Hobart, a professional delivery ensures the yacht can be repositioned efficiently while allowing the owner and crew to return home without committing to another extended passage.
Every post-race delivery begins with a thorough inspection of the yacht. Standing and running rigging, steering systems, engine, sails and onboard equipment are checked before departure, ensuring the vessel is ready for the next voyage after completing one of the world’s best-known offshore races.
This delivery forms part of Yacht Delivery Solutions’ extensive experience relocating sailing yachts throughout Australia’s east coast. In addition to performance yachts such as the J/130, we regularly deliver cruising monohulls, catamarans and motor yachts between major Australian ports including Sydney, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Whitsundays, as well as offshore destinations throughout the South Pacific.
This delivery forms part of our experience completing Sydney to Airlie Beach yacht deliveries and professional Sydney Yacht Delivery services.
