Bugis Ketch for sale

the right direction

Neven,
that sounds great. Do you have some photos, I checked the promaritime page and didint see the vessel. I was looking for something a little closer to seventy feet, but for sixty US, this is very acceptable. Are there any more traditional vessels in your listings?
regards
JPW

 

I sent you already photos to your mail account together with the price list for the turkish boats. Sorry, I do not have more than these and also no other Bugis vessel available.

If you didn't receive my mail please send me an actual mail address to: neven@promaritim.com

Regards

having spent considerable time in indonesia
and especially sulawesi and the spice islands
doing a study on traditional boatbuilders
and sailing on
i would contend
that although this is definitely a ketch built in the 1990's
that the 'long history' of these boats
and the Bugis
should be categorized as Bugis Pinisi Schooners
or more commonly as Makassar Schooners
taken from the name of the provincial capital in South Sulawesi
there are many of these types of boats still working the waters
the one i sailed on for many months was a 75 footer
and mainly used as an inter island cargo vessel
if you're really interested in them i could halp you with further research
if you're interested in owning one
you can buy one for much less than $100,000usd
mind you that would not include the extensive equipment list mentioned here
but you could outfit it yourself to your own specs and still come out ahead
the other option is to have one built right there
i could also help with that
although i feel bad mentioning such a thing
as this is not an attempt to hijack the original thread
please feel free to contact me here
and we can discuss matters further

New build

No worries of hijacking the thread !

But some comments may be allowed:

You will not get a 75’ footer on Sulawesi for “much” less than $ 100.000 although you can get it for around $ 100.000. But you will have to stay a considerable time yourself in the country, which will cost money, and you have to know how to deal with the locals in order not to get cheated. In addition, the export of such a vessel is only “half-legal” without EPTIK license and one should know how to bring it out of the country afterwards.

We offer project management for new build of these vessels. To give an example of the costs (contract recently signed between a customer from Austria and us):

i would like to know more about the process i would have to go threw to have a pinisi schooner built in suliwesi for less that 100000 usd . I have talked to a few people and have gotten the run around from quite a few people that said they would help me start the project. Thee are two things that would have to be done to my standards one is motor mounts two the hull inside and out would hav to be glass coated befor the boat ever entered the water.
