Priscilla II 392 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 If I was to pass over to the dark side this looks a cracker. 17000 hrs just run in for a Gardiner 8. Just got to figure out where to keep her. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1543795041 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkside 61 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I learnt my boating in a Carey launch. Still the prettiest launch in Auckland Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Just got to figure out where to keep her. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=1543795041 Wouldn't you just live on her and stooge around the coast anchoring in all the nice quiet bays? Can't keep a boat like that tied up in a marina... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Careys yard built some beautiful Boats. Although they all seemed rather slow, they were excellent Sea handling vessels. Rodger and Phil both have tremendous Deep Sea experience and their designs came from that experience. That particular design looks very much like Rodger's (Father) design and being 74, Phil may well have had a hand in building it. Jim's days had the iconic swept back designs.The only thing to be wary of, the Gardner engine no longer has parts being made. While these engines are damn close to be the Rolls Royce of Diesels and clock up huge hrs, they are going to become hard to obtain part for. In saying that though, even though it has some age on it, it may still outlast many that buy the boat today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Been in touch with both Shaw Diesels here and Gardner in England. No issues with supply of parts or servicing from their view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 44 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Been in touch with both Shaw Diesels here and Gardner in England. No issues with supply of parts or servicing from their view. Yes there is no issue with availability other than the pricing.... should you ever need to. Which could be a very scary expedition. But given its a Garner you probably wont need to...

Well, I am not one to dwell on a lost opportunity so here is plan B. https://www.fraseryachts.com/en/yacht-for-sale/seawolf/ Mhee, no where to park my helicopter. And I've never understood why you need a swimming pool when on a boat. The 'sailing tender' looks nice though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rats 28 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Let me see, Shes for sale for USD 13,959,000 which is reasonably cheap for some thing in this length range, a more recent build in this length will set you back USD 45-55 million. You can charter her for USD 195,000 per week plus food, booze and fuel, that works out at 16,250.00 per guest (12 Total) plus expenses for a week. Airfares to get to the vessel not included. To fuel her up requires 220,000 litres, Range 9600 NM @ 10 Knots, given her length and original purpose as a North sea Tug she probably runs bunker fuel. Parking her just about anywhere at 58 metres is going to cost. The daily run cost on top of the purchase price will be about USD 30,000 per day for mooring, crew, repairs, insurance etc. Those sorts of numbers going out makes most accountants get all clammy and want to sit down with a large scotch. If you have the coin chartering her would make the most sense then you would not have to worry about where to park it or the daily outgoings for that matter. Perhaps a crew.org give a little page A nice "little" Carey at just about any price does begin to become attractive, if of course you are seriously considering crossing to the dark side.

Priscilla II 392 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 Fish, re the helicopter thing you are not related to Rod Duke by any chance. The pool well it's a must have due to the the amount of skin irritating plastic in the ocean. Man the coolest thing about this beauty is the custom made model of her that you would have sitting on the desk whilst you are making your daily millions . I got a photo of my old woody sitting in the ute, not quite in the same league. Rats at some stage I am going to cross over just not yet and it is bloody hard to find a 10m classic stink pot that has adequate interior space and a lie down cockpit. My super plainly will not span the economic leap of cost to a 12m marina. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 392 Posted March 14, 2018 Author Share Posted March 14, 2018 David Barker Logan variation. Not sure about the outboard. Roger Hill powercat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Schoinning designed a very similar power cat to the Hill one above. That'll be me when I can't hoist the main anymore (can't fully hoist at the moment but that's another issue!). Though that little Logan looks very pretty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I have no intention of ever getting a powerboat. Just doesn't do it for me. But can't imagine being so decrepit I can't pull up a sail. There are lots of ways to take the loads out of sailing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
