chariot 243 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Krisis is probably for sale panmure boating club should know. A quick older tri that has had cruising additives HT would know. I think she may have sold a couple of years ago but not certain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 yup, pretty sure Krisis has a new owner now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregW 28 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 The buccaneer in west harbour is i think a 40 and a nice boat that has had money spent. The marina will know if its still there. Was by the ferries. There was a 33 that I used to own for sale in Devonport. Much cheaper boat sailed well up to 12 knots boat speed. The 40 would be a better boat. That B40 certainly looked a nice boat. TL your old B33 broke its mooring twice in storms and ended up on the foreshore at Devonport. Since been sold a couple of times and now moored off Sulpher Point (Northcote). Needs a fukton of work to make sound again. but all achievable. The most recent owner doesn't seem to be doing anything with it so might still be for sale.... ps,TL what happened to Careless Intent, did you flick on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi Greg Yes sold careless intent for around 25 maybe 4 years ago. Was pretty small inside. Think it may have gone to catabatic s old mooring at Okahu Bay but not sure where it is now. Just about to have 2 cats again now so my wharram tiki 38 for sale.

ex TL systems 63 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What happened to the buccaneer 40 from Okahu Bay that was used for the rose noelle film. Wasn’t it sold to someone up north that was planning to repair it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ladyhawk 37 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Hi Dave, Yes we are the proud owners of Ladyhawk, and yes shes a great boat, but as Island Time mentioned, shes a whole different level of financial commitment, we sold everything we owned to buy her, including the house. She is 20 years old this year, and we paid 250k for her, but now we don't have a mortgage or owe any institutions any money lol. There's only her and a sister-ship called Overdrive that lives in Aussie, so obviously not a "production" boat. Richard Edlin designed and built Ladyhawk, his boat building skills are fantastic, beautifully finished boat, and built tough. Full offshore capable, carbon in important places, chain-plates, beams etc. We live aboard therefore have too much sh*t onboard but we can get 16-18kts out of her on a good day, manged 20 without trying on our sea trial when she was empty. She weighs 3200kg empty, and I reakon we weigh close to 5000 at the moment lol... but to be fair, its a cruiser not a racer. We looked at Farriers and Corsairs etc as well, but they are folders, and we wanted offshore capable without any issues. I went for a sail on a Corsair 37 I think it was, it creaked and groaned all day, I'm not sure if that's normal for a folder, but didn't inspire confidence. No such noise from our boat at all, solid, rigid and quiet. You'll pay similar coin for a similar sized Farrier or Corsair too. To get a brand new RE10.66T from Richard, I'd hate to think what that would cost, probably the thick end of 750k... I dunno Ive looked at Blaydon Racer, shes a cool boat, foam core I think, she'd be fast too, I spoke to the original owner some time ago, he said its easy to sail short handed, the ketch rig means smaller, lighter sails to deal with, and very flexible as far as sail plans go, I wouldn't let the rig put you off. You'd get it cheap too as the current owner needs to shift it as they have a flash french catamaran coming to go in the berth, the berth is all they're interested in. Trimarans are a small market, with a few boats that wont be a "perfect fit" guess you need to weigh up the "dollars paid" versus "work to do to it" equation If you're ever in Tauranga, drop in for a look and a beer...

Dave 11 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Thanks for that, I went back and had a re read of the review of Ladyhawk and wow, what a beautiful boat. Hard to believe she's nearly 20 years old! As you pointed out, a new build of that type of trimaran would be eye watering today. I'm not sold on the folding tri's either, certainly the C36 has a chequered history I believe, but I do like the layout of those boats. Also seems that apart from the complexity, the folding mechanisms do add cost. I think that for me Blaydon Racer would be a bit much boat, but she is on my radar at the moment, certainly the price point looks right. I really like the open cockpit concept, Ladyhawk's seems huge which really appeals. It seems the older tri's aren't designed that way, but I'm happy to be corrected. Thanks for the offer of a visit, if I'm ever down your way I'll make sure to come by, I'll bring the beers! Cheers, Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 11 Posted May 26, 2019 Author Share Posted May 26, 2019 Thanks TL, I was out west yesterday as it happened so popped by the marina, sadly an empty berth where the B40 should have been. Google maps still showed that she lives there (stalker, much?!) so maybe she was out for a sail, was a nice day yesterday. There was a thread on boatdesigns or some such regarding the one at Okahu bay but that was a few years ago, they're not the same boat are they? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex TL systems 63 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I think the west harbour one was called Cerberus or something and was very neglected moored by herald island for years. The Okahu one also sat for years doing nothing. Less timber and more glass and foam is good if a boat is neglected for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarkMT 68 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Here ya go... this is for sale. USD8k, but sorry no enclosed head! https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/05/24/navatek-ii-famous-trimaran-among-impounded-vessels-be-auctioned-off/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ed 143 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Such an iconic traillbazer of a boat, paving the way for the foiling ultimes. I'm surprised a Frenchman hasn't bought it and donated it to a museum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ex TL systems 63 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hopefully someone will want to take it on. Seems crazy cheap Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 11 Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 Yep the lack of a head is a deal breaker for the missus. Mind you, at the speeds this thing does I'd be kitted out in man nappies for sure! I'd hope it gets picked up by someone, just think, at max chat it would do the Coastal in two hours!!

GregW 28 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I see the stretched F 36 on Yacht Hub has just dropped to 120k. Not really a trailer boat though. The F33 at 165k looks pretty sweet. https://yachthub.com/catlist/used/yachts-for-sale/sailing-trimaran/over-31ft/30 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 11 Posted June 8, 2019 Author Share Posted June 8, 2019 Thanks Greg, I'd seen the massive price drop on the F36, 80K! Makes you wonder what that was all about. It does put it into my price bracket but I think the boat is a bit "cruisier" than what I'm looking for, happy to be corrected of course. The F33 does look pretty tasty but even at that price it'll still be NZ$220K to sail it over and probably $250K+ to get it shipped. I've been sniffing around a Contour 34 in Hawaii, I'd post the link but don't know how to unfortunately, can anyone help with that as I'd really appreciate your opinions. By the way, can I ask what's the tri in your profile picture please? Cheers Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 That would be this one; https://www.boatbuys.com/2001-contour-34-sc-for-sale-in-hawaii_2365193/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
