  1. upon a bit of research and memory it sold back in 2009 and it is a Jack Cropp,remember looking at it on the hard at okahu bay,Sold for $16k and if I am correct there was a bit of rot in the coach roof.Was tempted but where do you keep 45ft cheaply??
  2. Dad looked at them back in 1986,as liveaboard,but price was around $45k and being 6ft 2 not quite enough headroom,looked at the raven 31 fast but not practicle for his use so he settled on the d28 at $31k,sold 1994 for $28k not bad after he lived on it for 8 yrs,sold again ealier this yr for $19k and the owner had put a new 15hp in to it. sorry no idea how the shoal craft sail but wouldnt expect to be much quicker than (if i read correctly)your h28,maybe in the light,inboard rig which was/is appealing.
  3. There are few around loosely based on a mullet boat style 32ft
  4. $25 pw panmure, + club membership,cheap haulout wharf water and as we have to go past halfmoon bay no problem for fuel
  5. love my swing mooring so easy for solo on and off,
  6. i wonder about it myself,could be a good one for a bunch of young guys as a syndicate?
  7. h28 start price $15k raven 26 $8k reactors/trackers $7k cav 30/32 $20k cav 26 low as $5k,all good production yachts admittedly some need tlc $2k and youve got a comfortable cruiser some need new engines .Reality inexpensive vessels that a young couple can/could afford. But where the young guys/girls who have sailed their youth at Kohi/glendowie etc where do they go too?certainly not joining yacht clubs and moving up on to bigger yachts as most clubs have dropped in membership. perhaps 16/17 yr olds discovered boys/girls saturday night parties? even in my younger day thought nothing of it buyin

    Sold!

    I can only presume he has a backer of some sort,mum/dad? withdrawn/sold? can hardly wait to see what pops up next??
  9. so does it need 1.9m or 3.05m to float?i am going with 1.9m
  10. belonged to a smaller club years ago and thats exactly what the club did,payed for 3/4 of membership,better they get something than nothing?why should a club be affiliated to ynz,if only to run club races,as previous thread awhile ago,nothing to stop a club running its own events/safety regs etc. Should only need to pay at one club.Its not like you can represent 3 clubs at once in a race?
  11. had you been in AK would of suggested the mobile company "Seal A fridge" might be worth ago ,free ph 0800367799 might know of someone down your way who can help.Funny thing they cleaned our chimney,

    d28 d31 raven 26 etc end of an era really,all produced when we had a bouyant market,cavalier yachts compass yachts etc,now days it seems if you want a glass boat fairly newish ,appears to be imported,sad for the marine industry unless you build a mold lay up a hull and hope someone will buy your molds As above,plenty of yachts around that fit my criteria but repower needed,my cav26 has a 40 yr yanmar 16hp ,does not use oil but its getting tired and to replace with a new motor $12/$16k fitting myself,not worth it,could fit a second hand 1gm but more than likely buying some elses trouble..

    suppose it comes down to who built/finished them off,boat builder/home handy man? seen some d28 little $15k up to $30k depends on gear I suppose.one sold at our club for $15k needed a window repair,bit of rot but having said that had all the gear

    There are a lot around finished at home,wooden decks/cabin. The old mans was glass top n bottom never saw any osmosis in hull. most had a 10hp but he changed to a 15hp.the extra weight didnt appear to affect it.4 adults for 3 weeks one xmas with all our toys/gear and stll had room to move. Unfortunately when he died we had just purchased our house so couldnt really take the yacht so sold for $2k less than what he paid 8 yrs earlier
  15. I think comes down too declare everything even if not required to cover all bases,Last year I brought in frozen crocodile steaks,professionally packaged,declared it,mpi went through there list of food and it was safe. Now the yacht in question arriving in picton and clearing customs,could they argue they need the flares to safely complete there trip if they were to depart to sail to Auckland?seems a little bit strange as they can go ashore and buy exact same flares.
  16. He was quite happy to comply with nz law.He did declare it luckily.
  17. for his own use,he was a doctor from new Caledonia.
  18. On border patrol the other night in Queenstown,a doctor arrived with medicine he prescribed himself,nah lost most of it and to go to a nz Doctor,so do not think if your qualified to administer it would be allowed.

    I believe that d31 does not preform as well as the d28.The d28 is big volume for size and is what may replace cav26. my father had one and lived on it for for 8yrs and i enjoyed borrowing it.
  21. Now if customs is saying provide we have a permit,when is ynz going make us get a permit to carry them or worst still need a permit to purchase?? crazy part of the safety requirements
  22. It appears they can http://www.customs.govt.nz/features/prohibited/imports/Pages/default.aspx Purpose of prohibition: New Zealand has strict controls on the importation of explosives.
