36° Brokers offers a wide range of Beneteau models for private ownership, or a shared ownership model with full concierge service through The Yacht Collective. Delves, who previously worked as Communications Manager at the RNZYS, now heads up The Yacht Collective division of 36 Degrees Brokers, which offers syndicated ownership plans. This particular Swift Trawler is the latest addition to that fleet and is owned by a syndicate of six shareholders. “The demand for this boat was so high, I could have sold it twice over,” he says. “The interest in this ownership model is very strong and offers a great way to own a boat of this type. The ownership contract is for four years, with an option to extend it to five. “After that, the boat is sold and the proceeds divided equally between the six shareholders and a new boat becomes available to them if they wish to continue the arrangement.” During the contract, the owners pay a management fee which provides a full maintenance and valet service. “It is entirely hassle-free walk-on, walk-off ownership,” says Delves. “The boat is fully equipped with all cutlery, tableware and basic galley supplies, linen and towels. The owner just arrives with personal effects and provisions, steps on board with the tanks full and everything meticulously groomed, ready to go. “At the conclusion of each outing, the

46.1 and an Excess 12 catamaran. In addition 36 Degrees Brokers has already delivered one Swift Trawler 41 to a private owner, with another on order for next year. “They are proving very popular and we find that they have a particular appeal to yachties making the switch to powerboats,” says Delves. The Swift Trawler range includes a 41 Sedan version, a new Swift Trawler 62 model, and also a smaller 11m Swift Trawler 35. By Ivor Wilkins
