Anyone know anything about the history of this boat currently for sale at Wangi but which appears to have spent the 90s and possibly early 2000s in Queensland possibly under a different name? Sugar scoop and relatively new Selden mast and boom. One T. W. (Bill) Cutts appears from a yachtsman of the year plaque on the boat to have been an owner in 1998-9.

Thanks :)
gee, I go away for a week and not only do you find a boat but you buy it! Congratulations! Looks like you are deep into it by your other threads, looks great, good on you, looking forward to hear how she sails.

Yes pretty exciting after over 3 months of looking. I would like to thank everybody here for their informative comments about the various boats I have looked at and issues that seemed to be present in all the boats including the one I finally purchased. Quite a delay before my surveyor of choice and owner and a Slipway with slings could all match up but that will happen Wednesday week. Then a whole new chapter begins because of course as you all know there are many things that you want to do to a boat to make it just the way you like it especially a relatively old one. Interesting that I have a keel bolt phobia but in the end I bought a boat with keel bolts.

Keel bolts and a cast iron keel!

Yes I know . Call me inconsistent. In its defence they built quite a lot of them and I have never heard of any having keel problems. Nevertheless I will be having a damn good look when it is out of the water and I am making sure she comes out on slings not in a cradle. On the plus side the vinyl Ester layup should put paid to any osmosis problems. Interestingly I went to Melbourne a couple of weeks to go to look at a Brolga in Hastings which sat next to a Northshore 33 which the owner had had soda blasted initiating terrible osmosis problems which have never stopped.

Yes I know . Call me inconsistent. In its defence they built quite a lot of them and I have never heard of any having keel problems. Bill Hatfields exploits including rollover not to mention all finishing in 98 Hobart don't hurt confidence either. Nevertheless I will be having a damn good look when it is out of the water and I am making sure she comes out on slings not in a cradle. I just couldn't find an integral keel yacht that was in a condition that appealed to me. With this boat the beautiful as new anodised Selden mast and boom with new rigging plus deck and top sides in good original condition in combo with quality original construction just spoke to me not to mention a nice interior with no bulkhead delamination due to past leaks and new bunk cushions.
Also on the plus side the vinyl Ester layup should put paid to any osmosis problems. Interestingly though I went to Melbourne a couple of weeks to go to look at a Brolga in Hastings which sat next to a Northshore 33 which the owner had had soda blasted initiating terrible osmosis problems which apparently have never stopped. Must have been one with Vinyl Ester only in the outer layer the Integrity of which was compromised by the soda blasting.

Never heard of any keel problems but the lower rudder bearing (bolted through the bottom of the skeg.) 2 piece bronze casting can fail. I believe D H Porter may have the pattern for replacements. From memory they were built with a couple of different keel versions. Sailed a few thousand miles in one, laid it on its side in a big broach no problems.
