There's short thread about the where abouts of the moulds.

But does anyone have a reasonable idea of the number of T870s kicking around Aus?
Any actively racing?

Very few - my guess is max 3. One in the us (which may be back down under now)

Whare's Wal sailed at Airlie Race week last week.

Stand Aside is the boat that was originally in the US.

I thought Stand Aside was from Vancouver and Gypsy was originally from QLD as far as I know.

Stand aside was in vancouver but was sold and relocated in Perth in 2010
.
Gypsy was in melbourne and was sold and relocated in Perth in 2004.

There was 2 in sydney,Martini and other blue one which is now in Wheres Wal in Melbourne.

There was a couple built up at Lake Macquarrie , another blue one and and a matallic dark blue as well.

Plus a couple in N Z , which most are the 850 versions timber versions.

Gipsy was Tony Cuschieris original production boat out of Melbourne. It raced here for a few years , notably chartered to the Pommy "Charlie Fish" crew for the first Skandia Geelong Regatta in 2004.Tommy was laid up here in Melbourne by a Croatian boat building team with plans to build them in Europe but that never eventuated. Tommy, now Where's Wal?, is a tad lighter than the others and Jeppo has improved her after blowing the original tin rig out of her in a big Geelong blow a couple of years ago and replacing it with a nice carbon stick.
