madyottie 82 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 They have the original hull and amas on tm at present. Going to be scrapped if nobody wants them. I've made an offer but it's gonna cost a bit to get them up here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted July 9, 2016 Author Share Posted July 9, 2016 so psycho did ya get 'er? oh gary the pain An Australian B24 (named Miranda—formerly Gulf Chariot), was extended in the stern to 28' to remove the excessive stern rocker that only worked well in light weather. They also removed the main hull daggerboard and added asymmetric foils in floats (angled at approximately 25 degrees) and fitted a new, underhung and balanced rudder, rotating mast and 7⁄8 rig. This made the boat much quicker than the original, even though it was too light to ever be slow (it could be even faster with a slightly taller fat-head rig). http://smalltridesign.com/Trimaran-Articles/Buccaneer-24-Trimaran.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Ahhh, No! They got back to me a day or so after I made my offer saying they'd already chopped and burnt it all. So I guess I'll be staying Euphoric for a while longer yet. No drama, as I've mentioned elsewhere, I have a set of drawings to my own "Mental Octopus" design that should fulfil my wants perfectly. Must check my lotto tickets! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Although she hasn't seen any action this winter, the weather is improving and we hope to shake the cobwebs out again soon. Also I contacted the owner of the website quoted above a while back correcting the gross geographical error, they responded promptly but did not have access to actually modify the website content themselves. So I guess nothing has changed there. mogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
