MarkMT 68 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Some history here: http://www.yachtworld.com/barche/1974/Bruce-Farr-Offshore-Racer-Masthead-Sloop-2929035/United-States#.WCkv-cwrJhG Seems like a good price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dtwo 157 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Sailed on her about 10 years ago. Quite a bit of movement aft - helm locks up as waves go under the boat. Good quality IOR pig though, lots of boat for 30k (US?). Definitely needs some lovin' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marinheiro 352 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Kailua, the first of this design, is also for sale, looks to be in rather better condition http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1021932003.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Muzza 18 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I remember well the controversy over her selection after 1975 Admirals Cup selection trials, Russ Hoopers S&S design Corinthian was the boat that lost out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crashgybe 0 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Kailua, the first of this design, is also for sale, looks to be in rather better condition http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-1021932003.htm Kailua was much heavier than Gerontius as she had a full cruising interior Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crocket 12 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Doesn't Gerontius have a taller rig also? I remember being blown away at the huge interior of Kailua, but it was definitely a cruising version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
