Guest Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 im looking for a reasonably cheap (read: bottle of rum ) ross 930 or similar sized rig. anything from 10.5-ish to 12-ish metres. would like it to be on reasonable condition, knot too fussed about stays, rig screws etc as i could probably splash out a bit for new ones.

Absolution 7 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You could use the top 12m of my rig... its all yours if you want to pick it up. Currently sitting in approx 100m of water around about 50NM west of Wanganui. I want the Stratis headsail back but the rest is yours. Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 14 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Nah there's a 930 rig closer than that, somewhere south of Cape Brett in pieces. And you can keep the mainsail if it is still attached. Otherwise wasn't Knotme muttering something about a new rig??? Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 What about the rig off timberwolf too much? There is the old rig off Frenzy sitting in a riggers yard at Tauranga could be had cheap. Interesting Fineline thats not far from where we decided we had about run out of underwear and turned around and went to New Plymouth for a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 i did consider timmys rig but..... well my wallet says it all i think the section off frenzy would be a bit too heavy. maybe all the crewers could sponsor me and i could build a sexy carbon mast! Link to post Share on other sites

TimW 1 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 maybe all the crewers could sponsor me and i could build a sexy carbon mast! You would need to learn how to build a mast before you did that ! Link to post Share on other sites

Chill Pill 1 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Try Dave from Moving Violation the E7.9. They used to have a couple of sections in their back yard. The E7.9 rig is a decent size as well. The boat is advertised on Trademe so there should be contact details there. Link to post Share on other sites

Marshy 30 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 What about the old Bump rig? Surely the snapped section would be big enough for a mini? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 sh*t no, the full rig was barely big enough for a mini! Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 The Mini design POGO which is a series boat without the canter has a rig height of 11 metres so thats what you want to go for. The class rules state the measurement from bottom of keel to top of mast cant be more than 14metres. Keel will draw close to 2 of that. Plus boat height etc you wont have a rig much more than 11 metres without swinging that keel i would have thought... Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 take a look at the mast for sale by beau. Sounds like it might be the right size - or made to be. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 This hull can't comply with the 650 rule, so the mast can be a tall as he dares. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 You're right Slacko he doesn't need to comply to the mini rule , but I guess we don't want to see Jordan waste his time & money and get sick of reefing it in anything over 5 knots of breeze either. JH an alloy wingmast may be a cheaper alternative to a carbon mast and there's one for sale. You can make it longer if you need to and you work at the right place. There's plenty of expertise right at your fingertips. Most important is that you get the thing on the water and get sailing it without spending ridiculous amounts of money on it.

Guest Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 im too scared to go alloy now after getting yelled at by time for wanting to put alloy wings on my jav!!! but hopefully i have beau's ALLOY rig in the bag... lets wait and see. i think i can go as big as i want cause A- reefing is free. B- i'll go faster downwind. and C- with 400L of water ballast aside and 390kgs on a 2 maybe 2+ metre fin i think it'll handle it just fine ..... untilt he windhear starts ready puffs of 3kts or more... then i would be in the sh*t Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 remember big masts = big sails = big weight to get righting moment to hold big sails. It all costs money. Bang for buck its hard to look past the Thunder or Bare Essentials idea of fast light boat, easily driven with not too big a mast in it. Then you dont need to pay 4k for a new main that is huge but spends 90% of its life reefed down to the size of a 2k main! When you could have got a 2k main and a code zero or bigger genoa!
