Dear Wagner,

Holala!!! you Brazilian people are still crying about it!! We are crying
more about the exporting of players to Europe and therefore not to have the
possibilities of winning the cup again. Money has ruined the world game!!

Regarding our boat building, the best is to visit our page www.plottier.com
and have a look at one of the boats under construction.

The Bass Strait (the passage from the mainland to Tasmania is a considerable
adventure, but not more that Cape Hope. The best time to do it is January to
end of May and then sail north to visit Queensland during winter. Queensland
cyclone season starts in October and finishes at the end of April.

Tasmania is offering an excellent network of craftmans to do repairs and
fitting out of yachts and the cost is cheaper than in New Zealand.Marinas in
the Channel where is our company are charging AUD $ 44 per week including
power for a 12 meter yacht on a permanent basis.

There is not such thing as a the best boat to come to this waters, but I
personally do not like going to sea in any boat that is not built in steel
or aluminium hull. There are too many containers and big logs in the sea to
colide with.

At the present time I am considering which yacht I am going to build for my
wife and I. We are looking into Nick Skeates Wylo II 35' steel gaff rigged
cutter, Gerge Whisstock plan 057 aluminium 35'gaff rigged aluminium cutter
and the beautiful 39 footer double ender steel gaff cutter designed by
Martin Bekedrebe called Danish Rose.

We would like to have a yacht simple enough to be able to fix anywhere in
the globe and with room to carry our motor bike!!.

Any of the 3 yachts above mentioned are very good and well proven. If money
is not an issue then you can consider a Marconi rig.

You are welcome to write to me at info@XXX.XXX for more information
about yachts.

Best regards and safe New Year for both of you

Arthur & Rosa
