He [Nigel] is located between 60 to 70 KMs from Dumaguete City..." -
Nigel is usually at the Why Not bar on the promenade in Dumaguete M-W-F from about 10am-2pm, you can hook up there and talk or he will give you a ride back to his resort where you can see the boatyard and stay very reasonably. His wife, Pilar, has trained the cook staff well and they have a good selection of food and drink. He mostly builds sailing catamarans but does other types from time to time - a 45' sailing catamaran often goes into the water at about $50-60K USD - but some outfitting is usually still required unless you have made prior arrangements at some additional cost. The exact price will depend on the size of the boat, customization, and the cost of materials. Things go smoother if you go meet him in person, stay a while, and talk about your timing and desires.
check out the Sail Philippines site http://www.sailphi. org.ph run by Peter Capotosto who owns the Taal Lake Yacht Club (I think his family has been here since commonwealth or spanish times).
He and his site will tell you everything you need to know. Subic would be your best bet (the last I heard, most of the real sailing enthusiasts / foreigners have moved their boats up there due to the politics at the MYC) and there is also a yahoo group called subic sailing or something that gives updates on the weekly races and special events up there. Yacht clubs here never really recovered after the 1997-98 crash and upper class Filipinos don't like activities like sailing that will expose them to the sun i.e. make their skin look darker. Hence, its mostly westerners who are actively involved in sailing here - except for the hobies events on Taal which attracts a good mix.

Live aboard is a great experience. I want to try it for months or even years. It is my dream and I am preparing to achieve it.
