ex Elly 152 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 They were doing very well in the Round Rangitoto race a few years ago, but missed the North Head buoy so had to retire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BNG 42 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Saw them pitchpole her right in front of us just east of Bean Rock in that medieval SSANZ start when the massive SW front came in right on the start. About 2005/6? It was a good effort !! I still don't know how we got around them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rgvkiwi 12 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I did a few Rum races on her approx 24 years ago. I met the then owner (part owner possibly) after buying a 23" Moonraker Trailer Sailor on the hard at Westhaven off him. I wish I could remember his name, he had a book binding business in Morningside and was a nice guy. The old guy in the photos on trade me is (I think) his old mate who used to sail with him They used to have little barneys at each other (like a married couple) while racing and eventually I stopped going becasue of the "banter".... Which I later regretted when I lost touch. Anyway, this is why we ended up with a Ross 830 in October. I liked it, she was fast and exciting to sail and was someting I had been wanting ever since. My guess is she is a well used race boat that needs some basic maintenance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idjit 0 Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 Pretty close assessment I think Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Psyche 483 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 The current owner has spent a lot of money on it. I'm pretty sure Tony Smith is selling it, give him a call he'll tell you everything you need to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
