Sunseeker manhattan 70 truce

[Sneds]

A friend saw at the above boat and out of interest wondered who owned it.
It is available for charter via Sunseeker Charters but would they be managing the chartering on behalf of the owner?
Could a private individual be chartering her to help pay for the running costs or would it be a specialist charter company that has bought the boat purely for that purpose?

His question got me thinking, my boat is on the SSR and would someone be able to find out who owned her from the SSR number?

If you can buy a big boat and charter it out to cover the cost and even make a profit why aren't we all doing it? Maybe thats the reason for my friend's question, he does have varied business interests and seems to do allright!

ps if the owner is reading this ................... sorry for being nosey!

Truce is one of, or the last, manhattan 70 built. New model is the manhattan 73. She is fitted with MTUs, possibly the only one fitted with those engines at a guess. Not sure why someone would spec engines differently to everyone else ??

The owner was featured in the magazine recently as he upgraded to the manhattan 70 from his previous Sealine, T60 from memory.


Plenty of boats of all sizes are chartered, either to offset some of the running costs or as a profitable business.


Manhattan 70 is a really lovely boat btw

The reason that we aren't all doing it is that is that it's just not profitable! The more you charter the boat, the more it costs you in maintenance and the more you depreciate it. The only people making a bit of money out of charter are the charter agents who generally take 25% of any income. Yes you can probably mitigate some of the running costs of a boat without depreciating it too much by doing some light charter work but a business, it ain't
Part of the reason there are a large number of charter boats around is that it can be a tax efficient way of buying and running a boat but it's not because it's a profitable business in itself

if you have a mac, iMovie.

As it happens, it turns out that MRC's Pred 62 video here was made using just that.

iMovie has way more built in tools/features than Windows MM Jimmy. My kids use it - this one of theirs shows a few of the built in effects like jerky texture (every second or third frame) and reversing a few seconds of movie, etc.

A has bought the boat purely for that purpose?

/QUOTE]

still off topic - Had a couple of offers on the Pred 62 this week but after sales commision I would like a touch more. Happy to take a px of anything interesting if anyone was interested. I actually miss that boat already and it hasnt even gone..

Back on topic - SSR doesnt really mean much other than it can be used as a form of registration should you take the boat to the med etc. I dont think you can find out the owners name from this register,

Most boats and I suspect the one your friend saw would be Part 1 registered. If the boat is Part 1 registered you would be able to get the owners details, Part 1 forms part of the boats title paperwork and would also have any charges or mortgages against them listed on there (a charge against the boat would not be listed on SSR)

Even though I dont have charges or debt against any of my boats I do register them on Part 1 as it does make life a little simpler come sale time and supports the paper trial of documents.

Lots of off topic posts here - I like that video on Match - makes me want to learn how to edit a few of the videos taken.

One thing that worries me about thi sera of digital photos and video is that it could go missing easiliy unlike previous generations of hard copy photo albums that are in peoples studies and lofts. I sort of miss having lots of real albums.

Me too. We all prob have thousand of pics. I bave mine backed up x3 though of course I don't do that every day and the last couple of months worth only exists x1. I read somewhere that lots of storage media deteriorate with time, I mean long time like 20 yrs. If you back up you refresh. Even CDs deteriorate, apparently. Not at all sure on any of this but I think BrendanS on here knows quite a bit about it

Good luck on the p62 sale. Sometimes you get lucky and don't lose touch completely - I crewed/delivered Match to Genoa (ship load) 6 weeks after I sold her and was invited to do Rotterdam-Keil Canal- Malmo this week but couldn't becuase too busy (she departed rotterdam yesterday and is in Keil Canal today I think)

If you use iPhoto to store and organise your pictures on a mac you can order prints and bound books at the press of a button.

Mike, I checked with a couple of the guys at ABYA meeting today and apparently you can do a transcript on the SSR to get the details of the supposed owner. The reason I say supposed owner is that you can put anyones details on an SSR and the only real purpose of it is to be able to show foreign customs a form of registration to keep them satisfied.

I wasn't aware that you could get a transcript for an SSR as I have never done it and have needed to as it doesn't help with proving any title on a vessel. Could be useful in this case though if the registered details are correct and you want to try and locate the owner.

Hope this helps and clears it up a little. Would have called but probably a bit late........
