Last heard of in Melbourne & looking sad.
I dearly hope someone rescues her she was too good to die like that.

She is parked on a private marina berth on the south side of Docklands, a few hundred metres downstream from Yarra's Edge Marina. Sadly, she hasn't moved from there for a long time.

Those Rolex stickers last well.
That one would date back to 08!

The Rx sticker would look much nicer on her original silver livery. Pooh Brown is most unbecoming for any yacht.

Yeah, a light Bluey/grey with red pin stripes. I remember her arrival to the Aussie racing scene and thinking she was a glamour, then getting the opportunity to do a race on her at Hammo race week as a teenage kid was like dream come true....Think it was 1990?
Has anyone sailed on this boat or ones of the same design?
any idea on an IRC rating or how it would handle short handed?
from the surface it looks like a sweet boat.

They're ALL for sale mate, the off-market scene is almost as busy as the advertised listings right now. All it took was a bloody good pandemic to fire up boat sales of all types.

Totally agree that the original grey was a glamour look with the tiny red striping. I remember her being referred to as "the pretty boat" by a number of the barflies of the time.
The best thing about the poo brown, (we preferred to pretend it was gold), was that it covered up the white with a green coke style wave of the Jaguar years.
Having said that I have a photo from a Hobart in her "Maserati period" around 2004 or 5 where there is a bit on and the sea is black with a fair few whitecaps, and she is powered up with the black main (with white Maserati signage) and a black #3 and the photographer has got her full broadside lifting on a sea with the sun spotlighting her. In that 1 photo the gold looks spectacular.
Take the sun away, poo brown again.

The Inglis 47 Dolce (ex Vendetta) is back up for sale for an eye watering $275k
I think it was in the low $100's when it was last listed

Down to $225k which means offers of just under $200k I would have thought? Looks like he woke up from that good dream he was having and the shock of reality has kicked in.!

Yeah, I'm just trying to bait Livia

She's looking good.
In my part of the world when you say “I am going up town” for the newbies that means Hobart but for the rest of us that means Huonville.
Actually stuck in Qld with the lockdown so JB is getting the little boat sorted.
First anti foul since re- launching coming up over 2 1/2 years
Advantage of the Kermandie river - salt part of the year and fresh part of the year.
The power boat got out to 5 years.
