Was Wanted, A Partner for a Half Share in Chimere

Buy 50% of Chimere Nov 2011 Update – New Partner found!

This is a genuine, private invitation to purchase a ½ share in the yacht Chimere.
For the past 6 years, Andrew and I have jointly owned Chimere and in 2009 and 2010 we used her to provide remote-access transport to volunteer medical teams amongst the islands of Vanuatu; featured on this MSM website. Changing personal circumstances require Andrew to sell his share and as a result I’m seeking a new partner. Ideally, the buyer will be based in Melbourne, be enthusiastic, easy to get along with, experienced and interested in furthering the work of MSM.
Chimere has proven herself to be a solid, reliable, expedition-ship; she’s in good condition, and well equipped.

Walk4iCare

Graeme Duke, a member of the Medical Team and a Medical Sailing Ministries crew member, undertook a fund raising bush-walk ‘Walk4iCare’ for the Vanuatu Prevention of Blindness Project during May-August 2009.

Graeme raised over $3,000 for Medical Sailing Ministries and The Vanuatu Prevention of Blindness Project. A fantastic effort!!!

To achieve this Graeme to walked 120km from Portland to Nelson (along the ‘Great South West Walk’ carrying all his gear with him, during the week May 4 – 10, 2009. The walk will follow the inland section of the Great South West Walk along the Glenelg River.

The walk coincided with Chimere’s voyage from Sydney to Vanuatu, which commenced on May 2nd.

To follow the happenings of the Walk4iCare and Graeme’s amazing achievement see Walk4iCare web page.
