Ed 143 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's got a Gbe rig, hate to say it but its almost worth it to split for parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne-o 12 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Anybody know how much work is required to get her into shape? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clive 13 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 The sails were pretty good from what I recall.. sounds like there are a few issues with rot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne-o 12 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 So not much direct feedback on rot. Two more questions: - assume it can't keep up with the 8.5 fleet? - can you sleep inside or too cramped? - what's it like in heavy weather? That's three questions...

Marshy 30 Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 Sails should be mint, they were a new full set of Stratis sails with Taffeta when Ryan sold it so should have lasted well. The rig is ex Whio from memory, had a few issues which we resolved and repaired and put it in the Creepy. Would be a shame to see it broken up just for a mast - the Main and Jobs wont fit a GBE - the boom length and J measurement is smaller (The boat is only 7.5m) so sails wouldnt transfer over. It used to be able to keep up with the tail end of the GBE's on a breezy day. It loves the breeze and is wet but fun to sail. Big sea's arent its friend- its an inshore boat really. Cant really sleep inside, pretty cramped when you go downstairs - there isnt alot of headroom, but that could quite easily be changed by raising the roof line 300mm with a little Cuddy Cabin etc.- Would make it alot dryer too. Havent seen it for about 4 years so not sure about what the condition is now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
