Catamaran for Sale

15/11/2019

Hi folks.
This is Hot Lips 18 months after I sold her. She is in Lombok, Indonesia at the coolest little marina you could ever find. I joined old mate, now Captain Tom for a cruise. And Susan came too who first sailed in the Caribbean.
Tom is heading to Singapore and on the lookout for crew. Look for Hot Lips on crewbay.com for good company and and adventure off the beaten track.
It was so good to get back on the water.
Thank you for following,
Richard

Earlier this month, Dec, Hot Lips squeezed into the Bundaberg Marina travel lif the and we took out the motors. Most in need were new engine mounts. Replaced all the hose and clips, fuel and oil filters, full oil change, coolant in fresh water and new caps. Steam clean and engine bay wipe down. Those babies are purring again.

Story: Hot Lips, a Fountaine Pajot Levezzi catamaran, was purchased by
highly reputed German Charter Company SUNCHARTER in 2005.
Their attention to maintanance and care of their fleet is second
to none. The yachts from their Marmaris base sailed the waters of the
Turkey coast and Greek Islands often by returning clients. After 6/7
years the fleet is upgraded and replaced. In May 2013 Hot Lips was
sold and prepared for ocean cruising. For 3 years she has sailed to
the South Pacific with a rigorous maintanance and upgrade regime.
(As one experienced crew member said, 'wow everything works')
She has performed extremely well in many different conditions and
hosted many happy crew, guests and hangers on.
Tax and Duty: The vessel has not paid Customs Duty and Tax and has sailed to all
countries on a Temporary Import Certificates.
