Jono 152 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Marine Auctions has Atomic at $3,000. It looks like a pretty complex twilighter but would it make a good donor boat? Looks like it has everything current. Does it have any history? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sooooo complex and expensive to maintain just for twilights, and its not like Aus is renowned for it's inshore racing scene other than tp52's, so why bother? Just doesn't seem to have a niche to excel in. Same story for the Int.12m Gretel II in Hobart, no competition, and only gets raced once/year, if at all, yet costs 100's of thousands to maintain.

It is a shame - I helped look after her, and skippered her for a few years in Sydney with the owner away, and we took her out every Friday with the RSYS, and also did the SASC Sundays and spinnaker Winter series. Mind you by the end of each season I was a quivering wreck, sailing a 32 tonne 12 metre around Sydney Harbour amongst idiots - a lot of them people wanting to come close to have a look! Best memory is one afternoon race we had to do an emergency gybe to avoid a humpback mother and calf off Shark Island - that was fun under spinnaker in a reasonable westerly Hopefully once lockdown is over the owner and some of us Sydney regulars will get down there more often. We always have a blast when we're there - open water, very little traffic. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Dark Knight 1,255 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 I’d heard of the name but that’s it. Small boat builders in Sweden seem to survive quite well. There are quite a few and there certainly is a lot of Patriotic boat buyers there which keep the companies in business, but I think Swedish boats are popular in Northern Europe on the whole. Swedes are pretty good on the quality build stuff. I believe that there are more boats than people in Stockholm, but that does include dinghy’s and the like. http://storebro.se/historia/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BooBoo 60 Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Update on the Ross 10.66 that I brought last year, had a lot of work done and a total rebranding. Was originally launched as Margaritaville in 2003, now ROGUE II (the name goes along with the theme from our 2 year adventure sailing our beneteau 50 'Rogue' down from france to NZ as a family 3 years ago) Put a furling headsail on it for cruising with the old rod forestay to swap out for the bigger races, added a hot water cylinder with a hot shower, anchor winch ect. Built a spray dodger, boom tent and lee cloths around the cockpit to make the family cruising a bit easier. Loads of other upgrades done and sails built with plenty more to come. Chipping away at the job list and the wish list. Next race is the SSANZ northern triangle late Feb, Then a few coastal races before the longer 3 kings race, but for the next 4-5 weeks shes taking our family of 5 on a summer holiday to the far north. Loving the boat, such a good mix of racing and cruising, a Kevlar and foam hull with all carbon structure and a carbon rig. Shes Fast, roomy and comfortable. Pretty shallow 2.25m keel with 1600kg on the bottom means I can keep it up the river just outside the house. Pretty much like it was custom built for what I want... See photo of the boat in cruise mode, excuse the stackpacks mismatched color, its an old one I had from a previous project and only goes on the boat for the sumer cruise. Hoping for some more good raft ups this season. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cost of keeping my 30'er compliant and properly fit for purpose at a short handed weekend hack sort of level isn't insignificant. The cost would be 1/2 that of a 40'er, without taking into account things like insurance for a carbon rig with running backstays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I meant trying to win some IRC pickle dishes amongst a good 40’r fleet around the cans & coastal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If its the same Kiribilli (and I don't see why it wouldn't be) the bowsprit was on it in Sydney, its not strictly a Farr 40 as its one of the 3 prototypes (hence its a kevlar hull and the carbon rig), its a great inshore boat, lots of fun. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
