The Dark Knight 808 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 My $80k ocean and club racers thread vanished thread vanished when "Hoppy" got assassinated. Even though I haven't bought a boat yet, I'm sure a few boat buyers had visited the thread and got info about certain boats, including non SA people because it regularly showed up in google searches. So I will start the thread again, but more general with no budget (or electric toilet) constraints. I will also post about boats that had been mentioned in the thread $80k thread and since been sold, if I have any worthwhile info about them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Why not grovel and ask that the thread be restored? I'm guessing forum admins have the control panel to "unhide" it . . . . I'd vote for that if it would do any good.

The Dark Knight 808 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Greg Elliott boats The $80k thread started with a post about the Elliott 10.5 High Anxiety, so it will be the first boat in this new thread. 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 Elliott 10.5 - Squealer / Motorboat 2 A heavily modified E10.5 that was sole in NZ in 2018. Was listed for about $100k NZ and was bought by BooBoo who has upgraded it and renamed it to Motorboat 2. MB2 has been showing impressive speed and results in the NZ 2h series. You can follow MB2's exploits on https://www.facebook.com/motorboat.E10.5/ Elliott 1050 - Kick Kick was listed for about $80k. It was originally raced in NZ successfully before moving to Aus in the early naughties. It seems to be the first 1050 with a new generation keel which has been referred to as the "Kick Keel". Kick was purchased by a Kiwi and was sailed back there. I vaguely recall seeing that the buyers father used to sail on Kick before it left NZ. Kick has since been modified with a new bowsprit, had a total refurb and is regularly racing against MB2 in the 2h. The last mod seems to be a fat top main. They can be followed https://www.facebook.com/Kickyachting/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Dark Knight 808 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Mumm 36 Farr/Mumm 36 Corum Corum is a heavily modified Mumm 36 and was first listed and sold in early 2018. I had the pleasure to inspect her as I was on holiday in Surfers. She was in stunning condition, looked like a 5 yo boat, not 25 year. She was bought by a well known Aus army veteran who did one season with her. He is in his 70's and it was a last fling at racing I believe. Corum was relisted earlier this year. Both times around $80k. Corum now races in Sydney, I think at the Manly yacht club. https://www.facebook.com/mumm36mod/ Maximumm This boat seems to be an original Mumm 36 with no mods. It's been for sale for a while and was mentioned early in the other thread. Current price is $70k https://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/mumm-36/219464 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The boat is in great shape and owned by a syndicate. It will do the 75th S2H. I don't think the owners are in any rush to sell and are happy to keep racing until someone offers the money they want. So not a boat to low ball offers.

The Dark Knight 808 Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 Northshore/Jutson There were a few Northshore NSX 369's and a NS369 that were listed in the 80k thread. One NSX369 from Sydney ended up in Melbourne NSX36 - The Bookmaker This boat has been listed for 2 years I think. Seems to have been very competitive in Melbourne, although it was mentioned to me that it was a big part due to one particular crew member. When first listed the standing rigging was 10 years old, but it now has new standing rigging. The price started at 79k I think, eventually dropped to 59k and since the rigging replacement, bounced back up to $69k https://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/northshore-nsx36/199607 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Finding the docklines untied and made to look as they were still attached was a low day. Luckily, the boat just bounced off the dock cleat instead of bouncing off my very expensive next door neighbour. A new one was finding the power cable had cuts down to bare copper. It often sits in water on the dock, so shorted out the power and fucked the batteries and a few other things. The club tell me that's 'normal'. What I can't work out is why all this 'normal' stuff only happened after I protested the club. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miffy 2,140 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 That’s absurd and frankly speaks very poorly of the Aussie scene. I’m sorry to hear this shaggy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 47 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 That is beyond shocking. Id be seriously pissed if someone fucked with my boat like that. And my boat is nowhere near as cool as yours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not the Aussie scene just one club which of course has more surveillance camera than most high security prisons and shaggy’s Boat was right in front of one but bet that video is not getting reviewed any time soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The guys who brought the boat to the Ultimate Yacht Race (farce) on Corpus Christi bay were sportsmen of the highest calibre. When we pulled into Perth on a Big Grey Ship back in the day the hospitality shown put the remainder of the world to shame. Best advice I have ever been given was when our XO stopped me leaving the ship and told me to change into my Dress Whites. Karma is a bitch, Neptune will not view their treatment of you in a positive light. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tell Shaggy to go piss up a halyard or offer a fair fight in the parking lot but to dick around with a defensless boat is an act of those totally without honor.

I once loved that place and devoted decades of my life to it. Good guys like Shaggy don’t come to the sport very often and that club have completely burned him simply because of his association with someone the flag officers don’t like.

Yer, Shaggy always came across as a nice guy. Pity he ended up involved in this mess with " someone the flag officers don’t like". By the way is this ," someone the flag officers don’t like" , also the abusive one that breached the rules of a private club ? Its hard to keep up with the "saga " now spread over 3 threads .

Overturning their protests and telling them they can't sail with trheir mates seems wrong in every way imaginable. I can only presume you guys will reap what you sow and my respect for your club is exactly zero. Along with quite a few others I know who's opinion is swinging that way too.
