Not sure if this qualifies ..as it is only 6 years old ..and a Cruising Cat ..but Aus designed and built... P'zazz a Shaun Arber 14m SE..we recently did the Coastal Classic in NZ with her and won on handicap doing the 120 miles in 10 hr 20 including a 20 mile beat in fading winds... topping out out around 25 knots ... a vid is on here http://crew.org.nz/f...php?f=9&t=20836 but not much of the boat as camera wasnt waterproof and a bit of spray flying around ...

The Boss & Windcheater were pretty good boats in their day and didnt mind a bit of weather.

They were Arber designs..? He did the Spirit of Darwin which I believe was leading the first Round Australia Race until it got dismasted in the Bass Strait....also looked at NFA (No Fixed Adress) before I ended up buying P'zazz -which is his biggest design to date (i believe)

That looks quite reasonable....he is a very good builder (not to mention designer) - the build quality in our boat is impressive..hell of a lot of detail...

Sorry, I dont know- it just says sold on the listing now.
This one http://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-catamarans/schionning-cosmos-1100-sail-cat/106275 seems like a good buy for the price too; a lot of boat for under $200k!
A strip plank version I see; I wonder how she rates compared to sister ships..?
What happened to Crowther Windspeed 32 'light blue touch paper and stand clear' she was the apple of my eye when I was a Navy Cadet sailing past her at QCYC. Heard she went north?
Mooloolaba Fire Truck tri still at anchor in the bay off scarborough, doesnt seem to go out much. Could get recent pics if anyone wants.

They are all still out there, some loved, some waiting for new love. Heading back from a few nice days at Peel Island today we crossed paths with a beautiful tri that I have only heard about before. La Dane, a Mashford 38 was surfing along with a conservative looking rig, did she lose one in the past? Gorgeous cabin/window layout for a biggish tri, quite humbling although wife and I were doing 9 knots dead upwind with cruising rags, tender, extra motor, and a full portapotti.

Looking for partner/partners for "Nice Pair" 38'x24' Crowther Super Shockwave. I have powder coated the beams, brand new tramps,new $8k screecher (never flown) 55' Marstrom carbon mast, lot's of gear etc. She has won most of the races in the great lakes. I would sell her outright but would prefer to be part of her heritage. I can trailer her anywhere on a loaner trailer and she currently is in Reno NV. There are 4 video's on youtube. ad in classifieds. Stephen

Wasn't she cheaper last time she was offered? I could be wrong, might be the exchange rate too <_< Ballsy work to sail her (flat chat) across the ditch!

She's a beauty and I think has a new main and jib last year. Vancouver is a long way to ship her. Wonder why she's back on the market. Business must be a little slow.

That looks like a New Nacra 36. The old Roland/Nacra 36 got shipped back to Tom Roland himself in Ventura Californa.
