muzled 140 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Coolness doesn't come cheap does it! Wonder what the faster boats he talked about were. Sunfast or pogo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ex Machina 365 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 Think the beneteau Figaro 3 is faster . yeah it’s pricey but try and get something like that built here . Further down the track we might see more of these types of boats coming in 2nd hand , they are being churned out pretty quick in good numbers . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Check out the new sunfast, a better fit for speed and our waves too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex Elly 197 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 There is a brand new Dehler 30OD in Auckland, and a boat review in the latest issue of BoatingNZ magazine: "Looking a little like a miniature Volvo boat, the black-hulled Dehler 30od (one design) delivers the best of cutting-edge monohull design in a sleek, go-fast package." https://boatingnz.co.nz/boat-reviews/dehler-30od It has a non-gimballed stove which may prevent them getting Cat 2. And will it beat the Ross 930s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 All the beamy hard chine boats are going to have sticky spots in the light or dead down wind However shorthanded on a track that has sea room this will be a weapon, it will be able to pick its sweet angles and will be gone, up on the plane with the water ballast in it will be ahead of most of the 35 footers in a RNI type event 930s will have it over it at times ditch racing but that’s not what it’s been imported for, it’s not cheap but still probably half the price of a nz build when you compare apples with apples, I think in a few years we will see more of this type coming into the country secondhand out of Europe Its nice to see they come with everything but still allow you to get local sails made 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 197 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 There is an older thread here: https://crew.org.nz/forum/index.php?/topic/16256-dehler-30-od/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Totally agree, passage events are where its at -they wont beat a masthead Ross 30 or a Tigger up or rather down our ever narrowing river, but should be great fun outside as Mark's Far East was . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 What I dont agree with is that you cant build the same here for similar money-look at the RM boats built in France. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deep Purple 511 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Yep, you could, but you'd need 100 buyers to place orders Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Elliott has also done two hardchine designs recently for the same builder , one was ply and beautifully simple . Like Deep purple said it’s economy of scale that brings the price down . And like K dibley said a couple of years ago , get 10 people together that want the same boat….and the plans will be fairly cheap . Then find a builder to build them all to keep the costs down , a bit . I was told by the builder the boat below cost 400k-ish about a decade ago and would cost more to build now .The Dehler 30 is pretty sharply priced really all things considered .
