Kiteroa 8 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 42 below is for sale. Had a sinking issue but that's a standard feature and she is repairable. Who's going to put their hand up for this one? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/keeler/auction-620743162.htm Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If anyone wants to do it as a group project then id be keen. I am not practical with fixing things so its more the interest in learning how to do new things/occupy my mind and time. Link to post Share on other sites

tuffyluffy 76 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I'm told this was an old repair that failed: By the looks they should have used Gib Aqualine rather than standard Gib and polyfiller Link to post Share on other sites

Kiteroa 8 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 It's an absolute miracle that Ratz didn't meet the same end when we took her from Northcote to Te Atatu! I put my foot through the bottom as she was being hauled up the slip! Must have been the water pressure on the other side keeping the bottom in her during the delivery trip. Good old piedy's!

Deep Purple 512 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The sleuth in me says Glenn, from Waitakere City who's last purchase was Pacific Icon which he has entered in the RNI http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Feedback.aspx?member=376737 http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=594965377 Link to post Share on other sites
Kiteroa 8 Posted August 12, 2013 Author Share Posted August 12, 2013 I would have been significantly better off with this piedy than Ratz! At least 42 only has 'some' rot. As opposed to ratz, which at the time of purchase was 'mostly' rot. Although Ratz has always been the fastest piedy ever built, hands down. Link to post Share on other sites
philstar 61 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 that's only because rot is lighter than almost any substance known to man. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 It's the rum in the bildge that usually preserves most piedys Link to post Share on other sites

The Rat has been lulling you guys into a false sense of security over the past few years. She'll be back though. Aiming for next years nationals all going well. Link to post Share on other sites
