Good little boat price seems ok , many been off shore Two been round the block made in south nebe SA in the 70s , several mods by year of manufacture with cabin changes , the. Shibora could be a worry ,but go check it out ,

Yes but it's old Needing tidy up , the dropped price is 5 k over what it's worth , paint it make it liverable then 40ish ,

What next so are there compass steering them to our boats , the reason I believe is we aren't on our boats enough , so they are left alone to do what they want I think

I went for a sail one day and while going along there was these little black half moon shaped things all over the cockpit and it was swallows had been living In The boom and shitted in there so it was being sprayed as the boom was moving ,there was a crust type nest in the boom wich we removed

Twelve gauge works

Hi the. Ms is a harder rubber when dry it's about two , two three days full cure. ,but it sticks to glass ,seriously well , and the rest of the boat

There is a real nice rebuild on one down the wieti in a shed , check it out

He's old my brother in law a lotus 9.2 wich he sailed to Wellington , he no lie , he strait up but did what was his job fine , I sailed it up to mana good boat priced right ,

It all comes down to the vendor if he's realistic then the broker can move it , some vendors think there boat is the best in there eyes and is worth top value , but sadly there is a word not said in the broker business ,,, vendor crunching, ,,, and that takes months till he realises his boats value is not what people will pay , the broker has a tough job , they usually try and list good stock so they know it will move , no easy remember they are trying to sell your boat , if it's not up to scratch and priced right his position is hard and the answer is make an offer I will see what he can do

You don't need criticism for this but a medal , that's a well thought out project well built , well done , does the boom clear with main up and hard on wind in a tack ,

Brokers have 7.5 percent plus gst Fee minimum , some have $50k rentals to pay and some admin at the desk , sellers list with them for exposure , and ask what they want , ,so many sit on the market going no where ,some brokers have boats on there books for years ,over priced , but brokers have a hard life It's not easy in that industry , you have the dreamers. ,he wants SHE doesn't , the timewaisting types feeding their one day boat , wanting to see every thing on the water , the. There is the traders with a piece of crap trading up , trying to convince the seller to take it , it goes

Well I did the windows on my mates boat used all the materials said , looks good , but the caulking product I don't know , the Dow 795 , you can't paint it , it's soft , and once the window is in , days later you can move it in the opening , where's MS is harder , sticks well to the window and is paint able And the Dow we had a leek in one corner that baffled us as the was no sign of anything , the glass was treated first many times with there product , rubbed the stuff in many times around the perimeter , the rebates sealed , I thought it would be better ,

Hi you know these boats are old now and quite cheepish , and plastic , so you will have to do your homework on the hulls , mechanics, etc , you talking max carter 33 or the euro carter 33 , if so check it out

But it all comes down to the cost of running it , the marina puts many off buying , the haul out fees , the paint content , all goes against the investment , and taints the excitement, so the boats are slow to sell and very negotiable, the weather is crap , , campervans in this country are on an up , easy to store at no cost ,, at home ,, cheep to run , and the wife's are more interested than boats in cases , lots of boaties turn to that way of life away from the other , the 80s class boats are struggling to hold price over age , condition , new motors , rigs , paint jobs all against them now

My brother in law hugh In Wellington has zingara lotus 9.2 He sailed it from auck to Wellington I met him in Wellington and sailed it up the mana that boat has sailed cook straight many times and mana area , he's planing a sounds cruise , perfect cruising interior , head room through out , big quarter berths , saloon ample room , galley is fine , it's never had pox or issues with the bottom , well built factory boats . But they seem to be quite expensive , and differ in condition , so check out several till you find one that has had good maintainance and care , but get it checked out

Well with my oven the roast stays level while she's out with me cranking the winches , and tending to the anchor ,,,,,

Cmp why don't you forget about owning a boat at this time and get crewing on one and the answers will come in time , if you start adding up figures and sceneros at this time you will be in many minds of will I or won't I , go sailing and see if it's for you this is not a hobby it's a way of life no one person can teach you there will be many over time , if you worry about sails , masts , keels , good and bad boats fees costs you will end up in a caravan , remember it's like a nice woman , if she looks good she will sail good , and hopefully if you have one cooks a good pork roast on a 30 deg

Hi replacing a mates yacht windows , the old perspecs and ply frame over type dating back to the 60s going to do flush fit no frames into the rebates , things I need are glass or acrylic contacts , the double sided rubber material ,and the type of calking used , I here Dow caulking 795 is the one and idears

I think it's not a bad idear if a boat is plugged in long term it protects boat around them if fire etc etc , caravan she not have the same kind of thing to safe guard others ,problems Is it will swerl over to the 12 volt guys charging there battery off the mains for a couple of days maybe basically I think the whole thing is a load of crap , the power is supplied to the boat , how we use it on the end of a lead is our biz the fuse is there to stop any kind of fault out of the lead or am I being a bit of a rebble

Chrisc no 3600 rpm is a guide my new engine with.a 16x9 three blades Volvo prop only gets 3400 and that's close , it's handy to be a little over pitched on MY VIEW for it's a little quicker off the mark , more power responsive manuvering in marinas etc if you ever get to full rpm your putting everything under strain , I can do 8 kts flat out , 6.5 all day at around 2600 rpm into Most wind and fuel is nothing , with a beta 20 three cylinder ,I don't know if this is the same with a launch etc

With the Alado furler my existing jib is Hank to wire fix ,, the foot is down on deck say 6 inches above will I need the foot trimmed to compansate the drum , I see guys are using kiwi slide replace Hank's then will one if leaving on full time need the cover strip a fixed to the gib , or some just take it off and bag it thanks
