Absolution 7 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Anyone know what happened to Final Decision the Elliott 780? I can't see any recent results on racetrack so maybe she went to AUS??? Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 306 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Yup gone to Aussie. Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 I can cross that one off the list then. Thanks Booboo. Link to post Share on other sites

Absolution 7 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Do you know if either of them are likely to be for sale? Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 44 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Erazer in WGTN, doubt Chris would ever sell it though, he loves it and had it since new I think. Cool design, keeps the 9m boats of a similar age and the well sailed SRs honest. Link to post Share on other sites
B00B00 306 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 A quick check on racetrack Eraser 0.7471 Final Decision 0.7823 Well sailed SR26 (Motorboat) 0.8275 Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Final Decision had a good run the 2007 CC. Probably a better indication of what she's capable of. Probably not as quick as an SR but still pretty quick for a trailer yacht. http://racetrack.org.nz/race.php?raceid ... ps=50&pg=2 Link to post Share on other sites
sow1ld 2 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Apart from the lidgard sails regatta and the simrad Erazer hasn't raced in the last 5 years. She's got pretty old sails and chris cook strait proofed her when he built her. Great boat but not quite in the motorboat final decision league Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I take it Fineline has sold then? Link to post Share on other sites
Absolution 7 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 I take it Fineline has sold then? The deposit has been paid... remaining funds expected this week. I'm gonna miss her Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 44 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Congratulations! A quick check on racetrackEraser 0.7471 Final Decision 0.7823 Well sailed SR26 (Motorboat) 0.8275 Sorry Booboo, I meant 'cool design' (the 780 in general) not Erazer specifically and certainly not in isolation against the monstrously quicker and mightier Motorboat. Average SR racetrack rating is 0.7652 Average 780 racetrack rating is 0.7509 if you discount the one sitting at 0.6990 which is a lot off the pace in this instance, for whatever reason. Average 930 racetrack rating is 0.7672 For a trailer boat they punch pretty hard - Final Decision @ 0.7823 isnt far off 2nd quickest SR the Rattle @ 0.7961 but different timeframes/races for the data so hard to compare and its an election year and we will all be baffled by numbers by the end of it... As Sow1d mentioned Erazer is straight proofed with additional lead/structure, that might even be a bonus for someone like Fineline where he is now on the windy west coast!

philstar 61 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 get a ross 780 or thirsty work. there are few racing down there. You could have a lot of fun with thirsty work Link to post Share on other sites
Kestrahl 6 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I can ask the owner of Phantom for you, pm me your email address. Phantom is higher freeboard (same as final decision) but was built lighter ( I think finial decision "Berwick" was over weight ). Phantom has just had a new carbon rig that is a little higher, square top main and has a 3m retracting prod. There is also another one in Waikawa but can't remember the name.
