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.

Potters Kick Wheel for South West Bay
The attached article appeared in the Upper Yarra Mail Newspaper in Victoria on Tue 20th April, 2010. It describes the potters kick-wheel made by potter Alistair Whyte, blacksmith, Andy Jagger and woodworker Don Willis, that the Chimere is delivering to a school in Vanuatu to benefit the local villagers. Mr Whyte, whose connection to the area links to his parents’ time as missionaries there in the 1950’s, will meet the Chimere in South West Bay to help set up the wheel and teach the locals in its use.
Club Marine Covers Risks
Chimere’s insurer, Club Marine, has again stepped forward and provided extended Blue Water insurance at no extra cost. Blue Water insurance is an extension to the basic coastal waters policy and covers the extra risks of sailing far from home.
In addition Club Marine has published a feature article on the work of MSM in the April/May 2010 edition of their member magazine; a publication with a circulation of more than 80,000.
MSM thanks Club Marine most sincerely for their support
