Kevin McCready 83 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 LOL. His trademe rating is appalling. Lots of red marks and blue marks. Maybe he'll throw in a gold brick as well. If it's too good to be true ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 LOL. His trademe rating is appalling. Lots of red marks and blue marks. Maybe he'll throw in a gold brick as well. If it's too good to be true .... 200 positive remarks and 5 negative hardly appalling statistics, certainly a chance of a bargain if it is what someone wants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
muzled 140 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I just put my old fridge on for $1 reserve, not sure I'd have the kahuna's to do it with a 45' yacht... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 or have a friend put in a $1m bid and then negotiate with second bidder Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Re his negative feedback, if you read them, they are all genuine cases of Buyers being knobs. Nothing I have read suggest he is a bad trader.Stunning boat. It's currently at $2510.00 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 96 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Im with wheels. Nothing wrong with that story, seller just wants to get it gone. In a market where boats sit around for sale for years its a reasonable strategy if you are motivated to sell. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 that wonderful unresponsive monopoly trademe makes it HARD to read the negative ones. At least ebay lists them all in one place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 They are an awesome boat, I’d say 250-300, should be 400 but these days ......... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin McCready 83 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 it's a pretty light ballast:displacement ratio of 24.7 %. http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=7630 But the D/L (displacement to length ratio) at 351 is higher. Safety record in storms? I couldn't find the mandatory European STIX value. But I did get loads of sh*t from google which was totally irrelevant. I got one hit with duckduckgo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,568 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 That 24.7 sound's wrong to me. I would cheerfully go pretty much anywhere in it. They've cruised all over for ages. Never heard of one having a problem. Lovely boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonathan 4 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 they are awesome boats, "Steerforth" is a stretched one being about 46ft and it was sold in top nick a few years back for around 310k, was a three skin kauri boat. i think this boat would sell around 250 ish if listed normally. out of my price range right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never heard of one having a problem. Lovely boats. But how can you say that if it doesn't have the mandatory European STIX? You are clearly a reckless person with low consequence appreciation within your personality type. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,568 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Was that a compliment? What is Stix? Sounds like a chocolate bar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkside 61 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I agree. Who would put to sea without a Stix value? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Seaford just back here from ica rally Seaforth aint a Cav 45. She's a newer generation .We spent some time with those guys , great people. We had 3 Davidson 45's( Seaforth might be 46) lined up in fulaga, one of which was a cav . That design , Cav 45, is probably one of the best ocean boats you can buy .Ton of room , indestructible, fast in cruiser terms. Stix , schmix ,book learning does not trump one of the worlds best designers . Those boats get cat 1 all day every day and they can't do that without the correct stability . Vingalot was made to get a stability report for the round NZ a few years ago for whatever the race version of cat 1 is . Flying colours, as expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 397 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I wonder whose design JB sails These boats should not be compared with a 1220, as chalk and cheese and only one of those would I happily head off in across the big old sea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 106 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A Farr 1220 is a relatively lightweight fast cruiser , and a fine job they do of it. But I agree , A Cav 45 is not comparable , its a hell of a lot bigger for one. What are they.. about 20 tons? somewhere around there.... 18 maybe. That boat would be very cheap at 200 k but I fear it'll be high 100's or low 200's. Its new for a Cav 45 too. I hope the guy gets what he wants. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
