[shaggybaxter 1,637]

For the interim period where the current AS still exist...been swapping emails with this chap,

The ultralight version does not require a license, that'll be interesting. The normal version requires a PPL, so I've started my PPL again after quite a few years of neglect. 

VTOL,150mph, 15,000 ft ceiling. The 30 mins flight time is enough for stupid amounts of fun, but not real good for passage making..yet. 

And maintenance and service costs are cheaper than the boat...go figure.

Might go and look up the legal profession, need that court submission delivered muy pronto?

Hey all I purchased HA in Wgtn but of mission getting it here thru covid but it's getting a good birthday and look to get her out racing in the new year. Was a few soft bits in the cockpit and deck but being a wooden boat easy enough to sort

Yep, such a horrifically higher risk than sailing.....

If we look at the research based on data from the US Coast Guard concerning sailing accidents between 2000 and 2011, we see that the 4,180 events recorded have caused 271 fatalities and 841 injuries in a population of sailors counting about 8 millions sailing people every year.

HI Scanas,

No, I like racing too much and whilst I might be naive I'm not completely stupid, my plan is to give it 5 years then come back and decide if the scum entrusted with our sport have been cleaned out enough to re-kindle my faith in humanity.

I like flying and motorcycles as well as boats and a good mate has asked me to assist in getting a new 7 second drag car down the strip without killing him, so that should keep me occupied enough for the next few years.

SCANAS,

What makes you think that a older 38 footer is going to be cheaper to get you out on the water ? The running costs will still be about the same as the old Boat

 

If shaggy wants to keep sailing and have some fun he should look at a dinghy or sports boat or sail with on other owners boats. Personally I think shaggy needs to do a few bay to bays and alike and have some fun sailing again and forget the RQ and AS dickheads.

SCANAS, 

The 11.6’s are a great boat and you can have a heap of fun on them the only problem is you still end up playing with the same dickheads from RQ if you keep it in brisbane and you are still limited to were you can play due to time and draft constants of a Big boat. 

 

You also seem to have missed my point about of the running cost of a 11.6. Forget about the costs of new sails and just look at the basics of owning a boat of that size. You will spend $20k with out a problem just on the marina fees, yearly slipping, insurance and the basic running costs and that’s just for cruising, now do a few races and the costs just go up from there. 

 

Now if shaggy went the sports boat / multi hull option  for a few years he would be well ahead and still able to get a racing fix if he wanted it and  He would also be able to do a heap of races that he may not of done before. He would also be able to get away from the RQ dickheads as well if that was what he wanted to do. 

 

After all you can pick up a sports boat for around $20k and still do Airle beach race week with only taking 2 weeks off work and have a heap of fun for far less $$$ than owning a bigger boat.

Hiya Bigrpowr,

It’s an altered running in pro alcohol bracket, US import with an injected 540 Keith Black big block. Really well set up for reliability and consistency, I’m very impressed with the level of detail that has been put into it. 
The last 6 months has been shed based testing due to Covid, our first run will be the license qualifier in January .

Im doing the telemetry and data analysis, brother dearest is turning the spanners.

will be interesting to see if it matches the hype, it’s a very low et for a no-blower setup. Some teenage chick in the US drove it to a 7.88 on its last pass , so am looking forward to it!

Yep same unit just needed a factory reset. Works fine it used to get stuck on the start screen then would try restart was due to flat battery so was all working within 10 mins and a quick Google.

There were some old Nexus bulkhead instruments that were poked have managed to change them all out for no cost there were  a few banging around that some mates had that were brand new ended up getting everything working mint for free.the system and server were all working fine.

It will get a keel upgrade in about 2 to 3 years and remove the keel box back to fixed keel. It originally had the Elliott jandal

Not sure what condition your body's in Shaggy, but a two hour drive from you will give you great exciting racing with fun people who enjoy their sailing and try hard to win all at the same time. All for the tiniest fraction of the costs you're paying.

If its not in good condition now, it soon will be. And you probably won't be the oldest.

It’s promoted as a S2H boat, but will it meet the stability requirements ? Quite a light ballast for the displacement - I guess it  passed for previous races.

"Owner selling due to ill health" usually means he's already sick of the boat.

This boat has had more decks than any other yacht I know of. I remember her when the Cittadinis launched her as Vendetta back in '88 with a standard Jim Inglis designed cabin superstructure. That was later cut off and the whole deck re-modelled to became a flat-top flush-decked day racer, in my humble opinion her best iteration. She has since had a couple more deck and superstructure re-modellings until the deck mounted Condo we see before us today.

SCANAS, 

The Inglis at $275k does sound over priced, the thing is it’s had a lot of work done to it and new sails etc I’m told so the boat is worth more than say the old “Wild Thing / Wild One” that Whorro owns. It sold for $90k ish I’m told and  it needs a major refit and has already had a bucket load spent on it.

 

So it’s the old thing of start high and you can always go lower, start low and it’s hard to go up in price.

 

I would of thought that the  Inglis 47 Dolce would be in the $150-200k mark if the refit has been done right and she is now a turn key boat with very little spend. Mind you it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay on the day it sells.

Don't ask me mate, I'm losing track of who's who. Unless you're the hot sounding Italian doctor? 

I'm having a terrible case of sellers remorse, am thinking of sabotaging the survey and making up a whole heap of nasty imaginative issues . 

 

Fuck I forgot! I left a 6 pack of Stella in the fridge. Can you renegotiate the price?

Surely a boat like Yeah Baby ( https://www.raceyachts.com.au/our-yachts/hugh-welbourn-designed-yacht-for-sale/ ) is a much better deal. And cheaper! Crazy

There's an Inglis 47 down here that has just had a heap of work done..............

- Keel, mast and chainplates moved aft

- New spreaders, standing rigging and running rigging

- New Keel, keel box and rudder

- New bowsprit

- Full new deck gear setup with 8 winches

- All new sails except main, inc 0's and staysails

- New motor,, full resparay

 

Not what I would do with that boat but she's bloody beautiful now and the owner loves her, so I guess $$ spent locally is better than buying a boat from interstate or O/S.

Apparently goes a far bit better too

and now it's gone....

 

The Edge has had a price drop down to $149,500

Maybe the owner should use his holidays to sail it to the east coast. Might sell quickly then.

How does it feel seeing her?

I could imagine that it might feel like seeing an ex after was putting more effort into her looks. (been there, suffered that)

But sometimes the new frock can get you

 

 

I agree with the unsoiled heads bit...
