Guest Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 OK guys n girls, I want the Ant sold. This is a big bang for the buck boat that punches well above its weight. Have done 3 Simrads in it and scored a series 2nd, a 3rd and a 1st. The last one we entered was a clean sweep of 1sts. It's got almost every sail known to mankind and is ready to rumble for the coming season. Plenty of bigger boats have seen the Ants transom more than they'd like to admit. A huge cockpit and equally huge boom tent with a functional interior make it a good cruiser too. It's time for someone else to grab the helm and move on to the next phase of Atom Ants life. the Ants website is http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~atom-ant2/ On TradeMe http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-m ... 396621.htm Link to post Share on other sites

Grinna 2 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I reckon they're onto a cunning plan to club together the proceeds from both of their boat sales to buy a larger, brighter, shinier multihull to terrorise the Weiti and surrounds. AA just needs to find a buyer. Link to post Share on other sites

Mothership 6 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So...is she quicker than a Young 88? Link to post Share on other sites
Marshy 30 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Ya what??? Of course she is! Jeepers the SR26's are closer to Y88 Pace than the Ant... The Ant should smoke them Link to post Share on other sites
Mothership 6 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 So it's almost as quick as a Ross 930 then? (dammit - we need a stirring smilie...) Link to post Share on other sites
markm 30 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Well, it depends on the 930, the classier ones of course push her all over the harbour but then you get the likes of Suburban Reptile ... ... ... my goodness, it's three wins a piece between her and the ant, no wonder AA wants to trade up. Well 'trade up' may be the wrong word, trade out? trade over? Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 8 Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Would if I could Link to post Share on other sites
col j 0 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 is it quicker than a supertanker 34....well...Pahi? last few ssanz there has been that log at the pointy end. then again that log can beat stock young 11s. if the rattle n rum can give a Pahi a hard time in the light surely it means the Ant performs closer to that of a young 11 than an 88?

Hmmmm. Best we get a decider in before she changes hands then I think. I was on my damn near dream retirement boat this am and have some coin freeing up at the end of the month so there is an outside chance the Reptile won't be racing with piles of cruising gear aboard all the time anymore, she'll just be the sailing ding, all be it a tad larger than most tow behind them.
