Hi mate please emails me on esho_junior@hotmail.com i am interested in getting a new mozzie built
Cheers stephen
Esho,
I have a brand new ronstan car and track that would be ideal for a new mossie (was originally going on my taipan). Willing to sell below cost. Let me know if you're interested.
I have emailed Stephen. Scarecrow's offer of the traveller, is a good point, all the bits do add up as well.
Hi Still bitten
I have been in contact with Phill last night who makes them and he is getting back to me in the next few days with details.
there is 1 problem as he explained it will be 4-5 months for new hulls to be made as the fiberglass company has a lot on the go
It is a bit too long for my liking and i am now weighing up my options. It was good talking to him as he explained fiberglass boats are very hard to come by, people hang on to them
So pretty much i can either just wait 5 months to get a new boat built, and will most probably be 6-8 months before it is ready with rigging etc, or i just settle for a wooden boat
I just think 5 months just for the hulls is too long to wait
I am very new to the mozzie class and my partner is very new to sailing in general.
both of us need a boat time before we make the start line for the first time, so we dont completely make fools of our self and capsize before we even start, (i have done it before)
I am going to go look at JUST DO IT this week i know Steve Thomas well and i know the boat has been well looked after. Although i am a boat builder all my experience is fiberglass hence why i want fiberglass hulls
Anyway that is where i am at at the moment if anyone has suggestions or opinion please help me out
Regards Esho
Just Do It is as good a wooden boat as you can get for the time it was made, certainly worth looking at.
Esho,
Given your experiance, the other option would be to contact Damo up in the gold coast and get his (ex Boyer) moulds off him and build your own.
Hi Scarecrow
Thank you very much i have emailed them (wait for the reply)
If i can get my hands on the moulds i would be willing to make 2 or 3 sets of hulls
Lay up on something like that will only take a week ish
To make the hulls is the easy bit once you have the moulds.
Any ways still going for a look at JUST DO IT in talking with Shell my partner we think it is just better to get a boat sooner rather than later and get a Glass boat commissioned at the end of 2015/16 season so we have had the time on the deck,
The misses put it to me perfectly last night
It is like getting your first car you never get a new car first off cos you are most likely to ruin it.
I completely understand i am not going to be at the pointy end of any race anytime soon and would be a waist of a new boat.
Will see what the blokes that have the moulds have to say and go from there
Not sure if anyone has told you but part of the reason for the delay on both new Mossies and Taipans from JK Fibreglass is that Joe is currently building a new shed within which to build the boats. He also only builds boats part time as there isn't enough demand to keep him eating and paying the mortgage so boat building gets squeezed in around house building.
Don't mean to be a wet blanket but, keep in mind that you can make yourself a set of hulls no problem, but if you want to make other sets of hulls and sell them, there are things you need to do like test the first set for a period of time and get aproval to build more from the association.
This is just from my memory so check the actual rules with the association, that apply before you go ahead and start building more than one boat.
