John B 106 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Apart from the obvious comments like ' where's wheels when you need 'im', how do you tell whether a concrete mixer is in good nick or not, they all look like they've just done 10 rounds down a river under a lahar.

wheels 543 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I simply wasn't going to bite, but hey, seeing as I am here You do know they have truly _awful_ performance to windward?Where the heck do you get that idea from??? Or put another way, why would it be any different to a Steel Hull or Glass Hull of exactly the same design. It really comes down to design rather than material for it's performance and like all Boats, there are many differences in both. Link to post Share on other sites

You are seriously advocating sailing a concrete mixer? Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 If it's designed right, yes Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I do think you would have more success with the wheel barrow though Hey AA, would it not be as cheap to just get a small concrete truck in? Or is access difficult or volume required too small? Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 57 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 I've got one you can borrow in Auckland. The only downside of the deal is you must store it until the next person needs it. It's been with some good friends for the last 10+ years so they'd be glad to hear from you I'm sure! Link to post Share on other sites

Atom Ant 0 Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 Thanks Dagwood, appreciate the offer. I would prefer to own one. That way its mine for as long as I need it and I can sell it when I no longer need it. Link to post Share on other sites
