madyottie 82 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 After much indecision, and a desire not to do so, I've decided to put Euphoria on the market. Simply, a lack of spare time, coupled with living too far away has meant that she doesn't get the use and love she deserves. Ants did a great job on the hulls before I bought her, and I hate to see her looking neglected on the mooring. I'm planning to downsize slightly so that I can trail the boat home for the stormy season, where I can keep an eye on things, instead of laying in bed worrying every time there's a roaring southerly. Sailing wise, she's pretty much sorted. Accommodation wise, there's still a long way to go. Comes with 2013 Merc 8hp. Foam and Carbon Foils. Ali mast and boom. Original dacron main, 2 headsails, and fractional gennaker. Will get a waterblast and new a/f when sold. I'll get up there this week and get a few pics, then she'll be on Trademe. Asking $10,500. Currently moored at Little Shoal Bay, where she can stay for a while, but the mooring is not included. Matt, I've posted a "readers digest version" in the Classifieds, will pay in accordance.

erice 732 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 always that tension between hey, i'm happy i sold it quick! + damn did i sell it too cheap? but much better to have it all done + dusted than starting at 20k, dropping to 15k at the end of summer then next year 10k when everyone's sure it must be a dog and it's starting to look it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madyottie 82 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 yeah, now I'll keep my eyes and ears open for a smaller trailable multi. There's a strike 18 on TM (not right now 'cos the owner is on holiday) which looks pretty tidy, and according to the designer they are pretty darn quick. A large part of the decision was made by my wife, she doesn't like the cat arrangement, preferring to have a central hull. I reckon VB could make some form of foldaway soft cabin, a bit like fizznasties have to give a nice warm hudddle-space for when the weather turns yuck. It has a high boom so could even be left up while sailing if done right, I reckon. That, and being able to take it home "For the winter", which means I can get things done without booking a whole day away from home. All is not lost, new year, new idea, no clue, happy that way!

madyottie 82 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Oh and I spoke to the guy selling the strike tri, he sat on 20 knots downhill between rangaunu and houhora on Tuesday afternoon in about 25 knots and reckons it handled like a dream. He's off camping in it for a few more days Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deep Purple 530 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Frantic and the Nacra are sold. I considered the Corsair, they offered it to me for $30k. I didn't go see it though. Ex resort boat so probably a bit tired in places although it sounds like the gear/sails are ok Says no issues, beautiful boat but last week it said needs some TLC, go figure, or go and have a look Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 501 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Was a bit worried about Gopher Broke, sailed down next to him to the Mercs then anchored behind him and watched him leave solo into a fitful breeze on the 29th with an old style headsail heading for?
