Here is just one, Noel and Litara Barrott built this Mundie designed cruiser and circumnavigated. In my opinion the whole thing works and works well." 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Priscilla II 450 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Hah, think I scripted that. Had the pleasure of a afternoon onboard with Latira. Where does one start. The yacht is Noel and Latiiras second and both are circumnavigators the first Masina is now located in Queensland. I am a self professed woodnut and the Sina is beyond description from a skill based perspective. There is a well known recollection when Latira and her daughter backed the Sina down a raging southern sea to successfullly pluck Noel back onboard. Latira commented someone had to save this fool of a man who thinks of nothing but yachts. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 116 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I did some weather reporting to Masina when she sailed across the Tasman a few years ago ,when she was sold to au. She's in Port Stevens.Modified Brooke design. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 450 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Noel is rebirthing a Rhodes 33 one of the prettiest yachts around in my view. http://sailboatdata.com/viewrecord.asp?class_id=6141 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John B 116 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Thats interesting , one of the Classics people has been restoring one in the US as well as a really astonishing commuter launch here. Same guy perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 489 Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Sina is certainly a beautiful example of traditional boatbuilding, though she has been on the market for over five years and that is big bucks for a carvel hull. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wild violet 38 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 My father used to own masina he did many miles in her she was a rocket,tiny inside bucket toilet single burner stove.sailed like a dinghy i would feel confident sailing her into her berth.She almost sunk mid tasman when she sailed off a wave and the anchor chain jumped and blew a plank out.Dad was solo and had to pump for 4 days.He went back to steel boats after that. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 175 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Stunning Interior and If I ever Built another boat, I would steal with pride some of her features. On the flipside if you like wood but not the maintenance that goes with it go for GRP and then go cabinet maker crazy inside. Plus a carvel hull in the 1990's ?? gawd if you are a fanatic wood- o- phile at least do strip plank or cold moulded. 30 hp seems hopelessly underpowered for a 53 ft yacht that must weigh 15 tons or more, I'll concede they have the track record to prove it was adequate, still 100hp sounds better Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 450 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 From memory Sina is edge butt and glued not caulked ,regardless Noel and Litara have kept her in Bristol condition. 30hp is a bit on the light side agreed but she is getting about reliably and they attended a wedding recently in Samoa. Noel is pure old school and no autohelm or self steering devices just hand on wheel. Sina has been on the market for a while but many have and deep down putting age aside it will be a emotional parting for them once she sells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Priscilla II 450 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 True Native. My old log of mahogany single skin edge butt and glued without glass is 45+ and you have to be vigilant in matters of maintenance but that applies to most craft. Three skin kauri glassed done well like most construction methods makes for a great hull but I have seen some shockers as well. Differential materials and fresh water etc... Yup ,wood means work but it is not the nightmare some make it out to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wild violet 38 Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Masina was edge glued I think she was cedar.A nelson boat builder bought her and gave her a massive makeover I think she is now in Melbourne Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you will find Sina is edge butt and glued. As a testament to Noels skills he cast all the bronze fittings. Hi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
