Livia 619 #402 Posted August 20 yep. Funny the descriptions in the ads seems to be for same boat. From the ad above! This racing yacht was the most successful of this design built and raced very successfully in the UK before being imported. It has the stiffer lighter carbon mast which helps it achieve a very high STIX stability index of 46, far in excess of the Hobart requirements. The Ker 11.3 has a very clever cassette system for the keel, which makes it secure yet easily removed, and this yacht is available with both a keel-off and keel-on cradles. The rig was taken out in 2016 for dye-test and overhaul, including re-paint, and the hull and deck were two-pack painted when it arrived in 2011. A new Yanmar was fitted in 2016 and has only 150 hours on it, and the yacht has a full B&G Hercules 2000 system, HF radio and tiller pilot, and Cat' 3-4 safety. Rig tune is achieved with a hydraulic mast-jack and it sports a full suit of Carbon sails, though none very recent. This is a high performance yacht and one of five Ker 11.3's in Australia, between them they have recently won IRC 1 in last years Brisbane-Gladstone, and twice won their division in the Hobart Race. At this price is offers a phenomenally cost effective yacht to do the Hobart, possibly even 2-handed, yet can simply be enjoyed as a club or twilight racer. From the other ad.

Monkey 1,128 #403 Posted August 20 20 hours ago, Chucky said: Interesting use of a instrument processor being the FARO processor - pit different from the B&G units. Being run by a team of pros I would imagine it would take some seriously trained marine technicians to maintain this boat's instrument systems! Also equipped with a $60,000 Quadrans fully strap-down Fiber-Optic Gyrocompass (FOG) and attitude reference system. I would buy this boat just on it's instrument system! Actually, the FaRo system is brilliantly simple. Unlike proprietary systems like B&G, most any controls engineer can dive into it and see what’s going wrong. I’m sure the original code is impressive and not for the weak of heart, but using industrial systems makes it easy to troubleshoot. If you walked the dock at my little club, I know of at least three people (myself included) that could help out. Any B&G processor would be packed up and mailed.

Anyone locals have any comments? She does well, a weapon in the light air. Damn good crew and lovely guys to boot. Is missing those few extra feet offshore, quick on the surf but is just missing something when it comes to holding averages. Probably more a reflection on the crew getting tired from being firehosed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SCANAS 474 #413 Posted August 27 Always good memories Shaggy! Brilliant boat. Extremely well built & thought out - expect no less from the team behind POGO. Bloody fantastic buying at that price too. Trucks upwind in breeze & deadly off the breeze. Very easy boat to sail, you can get off after a day on the water & feel like you just had a massage whereas on other boats you feel like you where rolled down a hill in a tractor tyre. 2022 Solo Trans Tasman weapon!

Elliott 10.5 - High Anxiety It is still for sale. The starting price was something like $79k and is now listed at $49k. Given the reputation of Elliott boats I'm a little surprised it has not sold, but it is an old boat (1988) and old boats don't seem to shift so well. The lifting keel splitting the cabin and original Volvo 2002 will be a negative and perhaps so to the age of the sails, even though they are top quality OneSails. https://www.yoti.com.au/listing/elliott-10-5-high-anxiety The listing for High Anxiety disappeared a few months ago.

BooBoo 55 #478 Posted October 21 I just brought the Ross 1066 Margaritaville. More of a cruiser racer which appealed to the wife a lot more than the motorboat and the shallow draft (2.25m) means that we can keep it on our mooring up the weiti river outside the house. She's a nice boat. Built in 2003 by craig partridge in foam and glass with plenty of carbon bits, composite stanchions, carbon rig and boom.. Slightly different design to the earlier Ross 1066 but seems bloody quick in the first 2 rum races I have done. Beautiful interior with everything we need to take the family cruising for a few weeks. Anchor winch (easily removable), pressure water, fridge/freezer, table.... and bean bags... For this summer she's solely a cruising boat with the occasional fun Race but I will slowly ramp up the racing next winter for the shorthanded stuff. I pretty much burnt that bridge with the wife on the last motorboat campaign so got to ease into this one..... Anyway, pretty happy with this one (other than the green deck). 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jono 36 #482 Posted November 5 IMX40 Nips came up. Nice al rounder in it's day. Would need a big birthday though. What was the reason for being parked up so long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Owner otherwise engaged as I understand it, sorta lost the passion for racing plus was busy doing plastic surgery in Thailand. Has had minimal use over the last 10+ years so at one level a good buy.

TUBBY 271 #486 Posted November 6 Given that one of his earlier boats was Smooth Operator, there might be a hint there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dark Knight 649 #487 Posted November 20 Another NS369 has been listed I really wonder what were they thinking when the original owner ordered it. It has a shallow draft 2.1m keel (v 2.48m) windlass, hot water. Given that the NS370 is the same hull, what were they thinking https://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/northshore-369/254412 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
