bene_sails 0 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Hi there. Looking to locate the yacht strider. Built in nelson and extensively cruised. Last time I heard of her she was in the bay of islands having returned from the pacific islands. Any information as to her whereabouts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Benny.

Steve Pope 243 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 There is a Strider on the piles at Kissing Point Whangarei, home port Nelson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I was wracking my Brain thinking the name seemed really familiar. Then suddenly remembered. Isn't Ashly's boat called Stryder/Strider ? Is she still working on it? I haven't seen or heard from Her in ages. I don't know where it originated from nor the actual spelling if it was Stryder or Strider.

waikiore 399 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Was hers, but she quickly sold it after trying to shift Brown Island, the new owner patched her up and was cruising in a week, she is working on a whiting I believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Some info on that Strider here: https://www.facebook.com/Guate.The.Solo.Challenge/info/?entry_point=about_section_header&tab=page_info A 28' DD kauri Sandy Jones design, so presumably not the 50' steel one the OP was after.

Black Panther 1,584 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Pretty sure I saw the little Strider on the Grid at Weiti last week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 243 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 The one in Whangarei is steel, has a very cumbersome looking appendage well out over the stern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bene_sails 0 Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Cheers guys, not the 28' one im looking for. Whangarei sounds more promising... will have to do a bit more digging. the strider im looking for was built by my father around 1975-80 and my parents did a 6 year circumnavigation before me.

wheels 543 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Doh, sorry I did not read the title properly. 50ft steel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RushMan 31 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Was hers, but she quickly sold it after trying to shift Brown Island, the new owner patched her up and was cruising in a week, she is working on a whiting I believe Insurance paid out, Ashley moved onto another boat which is sitting in a shed in bits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
