gisywaterboy 1 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi all, a few years back I was anchored at Rotoroa Island next to a beautiful yacht called Jasmine. She is in the 30 to 40ft range I think (it was a long time ago). I was wondering if anyone knows of this boat and if so what design is she? were there any others built? I am now looking around for my next boat and for some reason this boat has stayed in my mind all these years. Maybe she is a popular design but I was new to sailing then so would not have been familiar with different designs. Any help would be appreciated, just want to know what she is and if any others were built? Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 747 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hmmm - got my models wrong, anyway, same as Moonshine you depict with maybe a lower and better looking cabin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gisywaterboy 1 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 Ok, cool, thanks everyone. Thats probably it. It had those classic yet modern lines and an open transom and was in really good condition (looked like new paint etc) Pity there werent a few more built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RWC 2 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Jasmine used to have Farr10 on the main I think. Certainly a pretty boat and been a favourite for many years. Very well maintained last seen. Agree BP, maybe a lower cabin top. Def newer deep modern rudder blade and may keel too. Pretty sure I've seen her recently southern side of Westhaven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boots 1 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 One of the Moonshine Farr's had the 1020 rig instead of the masthead and open stern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
splashprincess 12 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Do you mean this one? She's on Q Pier at Westhaven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisywaterboy 1 Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Yes, that will be her, thank you. certainly a nice looking boat and looks to be well looked after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chariot 156 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I bought my present boat buy pushing a card through the companion way hatch enquiring if the ownier would be interested in selling. He phoned me about a month later and it all happened from there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gisywaterboy 1 Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 You're right Chariot, often the best buys are often the boats that are not for sale, I currently own a fantastic boat (Elliott 9) and love her to bits, still, one never stops speculating and this was a boat that stuck in my mind. Its been a few years now and Ive come a long way, I look forward to seeing her at anchor again one day and seeing if she still stirs the same emotions that she did a few years back.

MuzzaB 12 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Although I have enjoyed sailing on various Farr designs over the years I have never thought of his boats as particularly pretty. Jasmine however was one of the exceptions. her original hull colour was - as the name suggests - pale yellow. That might seem an unusual hull colour these days, but it worked.

waikiore 90 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Absolutely agree about colour and design- she predates when Farr got all rating obsessed, and he was drawing good looking well performing boats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
