Guest Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Just read this in a press release about the boat (being the only thing of interest I could find) Basil Hart from Dickson Marine in Nelson was rapt with the show, having trailered up the company’s new trailer yacht, the Dickson 8. I had a look on their website and all i could find was a handful of pics. Looks interesting, does anyone know any more about it? Link to post Share on other sites

Bogan 8 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Interesting cabin layout. And seems to be under 1100kg with 500kg in the keel, which must be pretty good for an 8m? Link to post Share on other sites
tuffyluffy 76 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 A tidy, fixed keel version of these was advertised on Trademe a few months ago for $38K. I understand it sold quite quickly at this price, it was a 1995. Link to post Share on other sites
wal 27 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Wasn't 'Rocket' was it? - parks on M at Westhaven Couldn't quite work out the 8m rationale when you're going to be racing boats bigger than you in the Div? Too long for the smaller boats and too short for the bigger? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah and by all accounts the TY version not that quick, i think slower than a Ross 780...must be all that rocker Link to post Share on other sites
