Owner's Comments

After 6 years onboard and some truly amazing journeys we’ve decided it’s time to "swallow the anchor" and head for home Down Under to spend more time with our family. Songster has already proven her seaworthiness by a circumnavigation and six Atlantic crossings. She is ready to take on the World's oceans once again, or for more lazy day sails through the Caribbean islands. All that remains for the new owners to do is provision her with your favourite foods and set sail! We will genuinely be sad to leave her.

Registration

Songster has a UK SSR registration, is EU VAT paid (documented), has a Panama Canal Ship Identification Number and there are no known outstanding encumbrances.
