Update 1644 AEST 26 March 120 nautical miles to Auckland. PARSIFAL is now within terrestrial AIS range so you'll be able to follow her yourself on marinetraffic.com if you are so inclined. As previously posted she is due alongside in Auckland at 0500 NZDT (0300 AEDT) but will be departing...

Update 1528 AEDT 25 March 495 nautical miles to Auckland - about 35 hours.

Initial delays were caused by congestion at the Panama Canal, and then for some reason the skipper chose to take a more northerly route than the most direct, but I don't think the detour would add more than six hours over the entire journey. She's had the wind at her back most of the way but...

Update 24 March 1080 nautical miles to Auckland. She's due alongside at 0500 NZDT on 27 March and will depart at 1800 NZDT on the same day. NZDT is two hours ahead of AEDT.

I think things have improved markedly since then. My build date was 27 January. You can see the rest of the dates in my sig and I'm expecting to take delivery less than three months from the build date.

Thanks Bob, that's the information I've been looking for. Was going to leave my panel and front pony stock but after seeing your blacked out items I'm seriously thinking of doing the same now. Already got the black 5.0 badges ready to put on.

Unfortunately the survey maxed out at 100 a while back and i was too cheap to pay to extend it. Rather save my money for mods... and satellite tracking the PARSIFAL. :D Actually, my 17y.o. Jeep is getting all the mod money at the moment including new wheels, front and back bars, winch, mesh...

Update 22 March 1800 nautical miles to Auckland. ETA 5 days. Any kiwi forum members on this boat?

I think I've seen some of that footage before, but interesting nonetheless.

Thanks Anne, apologies. I read that part of the thread on a different day and had forgotten that the price had already been posted.

I like! Can you disclose the price for front and back? Mr Mustang doesn't seem to have an online store.

Update 20 March. 2480 nautical miles to Auckland. ETA 7 days. Interestingly, my analysis shows that she hasn't taken the most direct route. She is currently about 485NM north of the great circle route (the shortest distance between two points over the surface of the sphere we call Earth) from...

They were only a few days ahead of us at Baltimore. Should've just thrown on a tow line!

Update. About 3800 nautical miles to Auckland.

Hmmm, that's interesting. Maybe it's not every port then. Mine's definitely showing for Port Kembla.

Update 14 March Updated ETAs, probably due to delays at the Panama Canal Auckland: 27 March Brisbane: 31 March Port Kembla: 02 April Melbourne: 04 April Fremantle: 09 April Unlike most other delivery voyages, the manifest for this vessel is showing that Mustangs will be unloaded in each port...

You can send a PM to FordService on this forum with your VIN and they will let you know when it arrives at the port. After that you just have to wait for it to be booked on a ship. Mine took 3 weeks but others have taken two months.

She moved off her anchorage at about 2315 AEDT last night and is going through the last of the locks right now.

They have been discharging in Melbourne, doing the clearance and QA process there, then using another ship to transfer them to the destination port. There must be some peculiarity with the shipping contract with WW that allows them to do this cost effectively. It looks like the practice is...
