Hi Matt,

I don't doubt that you would be correct, but how can you tell? Chain plates?

Hey Kingy, have you seen this one? Looks like a baby abandoned in the woods.

i messaged the guy, and its ply.

When the ad said 'recently painted' that was a strong indication (although not as definite as Matt actually asking him).

In the register it has the name

Missbeast

which suggests it was a Russell Denholm boat (all his boats are Beasts). In that case it could be light and a reasonably good shape as well.

That bar across the front chainplates contradicts the

sound hulls

description. Although it does actually say

sound hull

so maybe only one of them is sound!

Hi all,

Still got this sail in the shed that I'd love gone.

Clifton cross cut, 2008 model. Hasn't seen a lot of work and is in really good nick, previous owner changed sails then went back to it so hasn't seen much work for its age. $500 ONO

I can put sail numbers and logos on for purchaser and freight can be arranged if needed.

Open to offers just PM me or call 0439335781.

Happy to email trough photos of the sails can't work out the upload system on here using iPad.

Hi there,

You lot were quick.

Yes 1816 is coming up here.
Will replace my other mossie 1635 which is getting on.

Just have to work out how to come and get it......

Look forward to having you on the water up here too Nic.

Give it a month or so and I'll be good. Can't wait to have a sail !!!!

Congrats on the new boat !

Hi,

For you locals that way at Swan Hill / Lake Boga.

If I come via West Wyalong, Hay, Booroorban, Moulamein, Swan Hill.
Any comment on the road from Booroorban to Swan Hill through Moulamein?

What's a round trip of some 3,200 km or so......

Looked up Lake Boga, wow, flying boats, that must make the start line interesting....

Hi Drew.
Congrats on a great buy , that boat is in very good order and a Fey or is that Fay boat. I travelled to Lake Boga the Easter just gone and it took me 20 hrs . Bit of a slog but using the Newel was good because there is less traffic. From memory Best way to go is as you have suggested. Good luck.
Dave.

Hey Dave,

Thanks, love a road trip, all good.

Your time sounds like what I expected.

Cannot wait to be back on the water.

The rest of us cannot wait either . Let us know when you, are ready and we will do a training day or a club meet somewhere.
Cheers

Hi Drew
Great to here of your new boat

Hi,

Plan is to go for a drive around the 23rd to collect and return few days later.

All going well could sail at Cat Challenge at Cootharaba on 31st Oct / 1st Nov.

Both Brett and I will be at the Cat Challenge, so we hope to see you there.

Hopefully 1815 won't be up here too much after 1816!!!!!

Hi Nic,

Can I bring it up for you...?
Since I will be down that way.....
Are you up here yet or still moving?

Hey there,

1816 is now up in Qld.
Some 3,300 km later in a round trip over the weekend.

Thanks Phil, lovely spot there at Boga.

Loaded up ready to go Saturday arvo.

Early Sunday sunrise over the Hay plain heading north, some 1,400 km to home.

Hey Drew.
Fantastic to see you back in the game. You'll be hard to catch now with that Fay/Denholm boat.
Brett and I will meet up with you at Cootharaba for a good old catch up.
Dave.
Forgot to mention . Yes Lake Boga is a Beautiful spot. The locals are justifiably proud of their club.

This boat has a great history!

I thought I recognised it. LOL

Maybe one for you Pirate? - $100

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/lancefield/sail-boats/16ft-cat-with-rigging-and-sails/1093619213

What a bargain! I have never seen a Mossie for $100 before. I thought we were doing well when we bought 1140 for $200.

The same boat sold for $520 on eBay 3 years ago. Looks like the buyer did nothing with it and is now cutting his losses.

Some people reckon that sailing is an expensive sport, but entry level sailing can be very cheap.

Hi,

I have a second hand set of boyer centre boards I was looking to sell, just trying to work out what they are worth?

Thanks
