Euan MacDonald
Our skipper! Euan has built Australiawide Boat Sales into one of the most successful boat brokerages in Australia. His formidable knowledge of all things nautical is the back-bone of the business honed from years sailing and travelling the world on Super-yachts and since arriving in Australia, cruising much of the local waters. His love of classic sailing vessels is evident with some of the beautiful timber yachts he's lovingly restored and more often than not raced with phenomenal success. With a young family and his dedication to the local sailing community he's become something of a feature around the Manly fore-shore and no matter how busy is always happy to offer help and advice to anyone sharing his passion for sailing. Euan can often be seen sneaking out of the harbour aboard his favourite Nordic Folkboat for some fun in the bay.

Jeff Rowe
If the Australiawide team were to be described by landfall, Jeff would be our Rock of Gibraltar. With a dry wit, encyclopaedic boating knowledge and steadfast professionalism Jeff can proudly claim to be a central figure in the Scarborough region having helped literally hundreds of people realise their boating dreams. That craggy, weather beaten exterior belies a warm and generous personality, one that has successfully taken control of the Australiawide office at Newport Marina by simply being the best damn broker and the fact that he's always up for a good chat doesn't hurt either.

Detlef Bauer
Unlike the rest of the Australiawide team Detlef got into boats relatively late, beginning in his early 30's whilst working as a television producer, but when the bug hit there was no stopping him. Sailing out of the CYCA he cut his teeth on racing with numerous major blue water events under his belt. Detlef has also delivered yachts throughout the Pacific and Asia accumulating over 40,000 sea miles. Fine food and wine is another passion and you can be confident that any time on land or water with the debonair Detlef will usually include a great meal and an even greater bottle of wine or two. Detlef is Mr Customer Service, and will always go the extra mile to ensure he exceeds his customers' expectations. Just check out his testimonials!

Mike Bowden
Ex Commodore of Moreton Bay Boat Club, Mike is instrumental in the sailing program in the Boat Club at Scarborough. Mike has been involved in the wool industry most of his working life, but now in semi-retirement is our Bavaria Yachts representative at the northern end of the bay. Mike orchestrates the Bavaria Regatta's from Moreton Bay Boat Club which is hugely popular on one Saturday of the month, and he can often be sailing a Bavaria on the northern side of the Bay. We think he looks like a big cuddly bear, but you'll have to make up your own mind on that - he certainly likes the amber nectar!

Ivan Rowe
Big Ivan has raced "Wild Oats" and many other recognized boats on the current sailing circuit. He loves boats and sailing and recently hung up his business suit and escaped corporate boredom to assist the Australiawide Boat Sales team from our Manly Office. Ivan is very experienced in both sailing and power boats, and is a real asset to our team. He is extremely knowledgeable on all things nautical and is only too happy to pass on his knowledge - he is really a wealth of information and is a good bloke to boot!
