khayyam 77 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 A bit of boat day-dreaming today. What do you you think of the Farr 9.2? Not the half-tonner, but rather design 87 (which seems to be what's around anyhow). http://www.farrdesign.com/087.htm I guess the Noelex 30/Farr 940 is similar? Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi, the Noelex 30/940 is a newer design. The 920 is OK, good performance for its size/age. Need a careful survey though, it's timber and getting kind of old. You might be better with the 940??? Although a bit more money. Link to post Share on other sites
ballystick 73 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I own two boats at present and one is a Noelex 30 - Jade Lady, it is the highest ranked of the current 30's sailing on Racetrack except for the Pirate which hasn't raced for a while and full of new gears sails etc. They are great boats but a bit on the small side for me so with owning two boats it has to go. PM me if you are interested as the price will shortly be negotiable. Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 77 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 At least some are grp, judging from the current lot on tm? Somehow I always feel better about the fixed keel versions, even if there are advantage to lifting... Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,239 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The keel arrangements on the noelex 30 /940 are very good. You can fix the keel down with the grid pin if you want - effectively that gives you a fixed keeler. I never once felt the keel move on my one once fully down, they fit perfectly into the keel casing base. And they sail better than the 920..... Link to post Share on other sites
