Big reward for missing Beneteau ‘Aphrodite’
by Paul McLachlan on 18 Nov 2004
Stolen vessel Aphrodite Paul McLachlan
On 6th October 2004, I hired a skipper to deliver my yacht to Port Douglas - his name is Adam J Clarkson.
The boat was supposed to be delivered within 15 days. The yacht was last seen in Cairns last Thursday 4th November 2004.
Allegedly, an altercation occurred with the female deck hand, and now the yacht has disappeared. It has been reported to the police as stolen.
The yacht is a 2003 Beneteau Oceanis 311 and is white in colour with a cream deck. Her registration is # 0Q915Q and is displayed across the transom and she goes by the name ‘Aphrodite’.
I am offering a $5000 to the person or persons that provide the information to me, or the police, that leads to the recovery of my yacht.
This Beneteau Oceanis 311 is fitted with B&G Instrumentation, hot and cold pressure water, 12-volt fridge, Volvo diesel electric windlass HF-VHF, plotter, auto helm, cherry wood interior and GPS.
As well, there are six life jackets, 1 RFD six-man life raft, Fraser sails wardrobe, two anchors and full emergency kits.
We would appreciate any assistance you could offer.
