erice 732 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 what happened? http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/multihull/auction-1272608939.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The mast fell off! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frickie 9 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Awhile ago.... now an excellent party platform. Also a great yacht still, either for power or sail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 375 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 She is a very impressive craft. Great cruiser and as i understand, used to be pretty quick under sail? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 101 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 How much would it be to put a new rig on a tri this big. Plus a new sail wardrobe if the old set are in shreds? lots? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 97 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Has been sans rig for a long time, but still makes an awesome cruiser under power. And if it were to have the rig replaced it had an amazing amount of living space for the performance it has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Fix this up - might work for a year or two. http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/parts-accessories/other/auction-1269782603.htm Massive bit of boat though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 that'd be the catabatic trick;o) would give you some breathing space for looking for a better rig but of course you'd then have the expense of getting sails for a rig you didn't really want however if anyone were to do this i still have bad kitty's reasonable life left main in the loft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 don,t throw that main out,erice, I may have a use for it before long, It was surprising how well catabatic went with a rig and sails from a 20 ft trailer sailer, until it came down/ snapped in 30 kts ... a surplus rig from something like a y 88 or GBE would do fine on Imprezza until you could do it properly.

Wayne-o 12 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Does anybody know more about the design/condition/performance of impreza? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Nobody knows more about any of those things than Charlie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne-o 12 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks, but I don't know who Charlie is, and having got no response from the vendor to my question on the auction, all I know is that it doesn't have a mast! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 97 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Charlie is the vendor. And designer/builder. He's a good bloke and normally very helpful so perhaps hasn't seen your question yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Charlie of Taboo? if so could imagine he prefers to talk in person on the boat with a serious contender Quote Link to post Share on other sites
raz88 97 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 It is Charlie of Taboo, which he also designed and built (with his son). I see the auction says for more info ring Charlie on.... so that's probably the way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
