You are not wrong, I actually was praising this boat last week, but have since noticed for myself the hideous and totally impractical location of the furling in the anchor locker. Yes, no skeg too, but I thought we'd accepted these days that all designers were off school the day the teacher...

DEFINATELY THE YANMAR, my gosh, have any of you lot ever LOOKED inside a BETA ??????? They will alst 5 minutes. I would be tempted to rebuild the Volvo, but as an alternative, I wouldonly consider the YANMAR, the beta will de value your boat aprt from everything else. <hr width=100% size=1>

try Saturn sails, in Scotland, they have a web site for selling second hand good sails <hr width=100% size=1>

It is an Excalibur 36, designed by van de stadt and built in Poole by southern ocean shipyard., smaller sister of the Ocean 70 and 75, very well constructed in her day, but now quite long in the tooth and a bit dated, but still a pretty and very useful boat which would put up with some tough...

they were built by Oyster, 1978-1982-ish, then someone else got hold of the moulds and called it a Red Admiral 36, there is one also for sale at beaulieu, been there for a while with alistair Easton . Not sure how quality the hulls were on the non Oyster ones, or what the fit out is like...

Yes, it is an Oyster 37, absolutely fantastic sailing boat, even Patricia landamore owned one until she hit a container in the pacific & sank!) <hr width=100% size=1>

I have one for sale but its not a sport, yours for £120. <hr width=100% size=1>

\'All At Sea\' back again It was good to see 'All At Sea' back in circulation this weekend, but there is no mention inside of the paper's recent demise, and subsequent re appearance. What's the story? Who has started it back up? Anyway, whatever happened, 'all At sea', its good to have you...

I must say that I am inclined to agree with Old Tom, it doesn't have to be this way... If Jeremy Clarkson was a Yachting Journalist and wrote boat tests,.. well you can imagine what he'd say about said mass produced boats. <hr width=100% size=1>

try <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.yachtworld.com>http://www.yachtworld.com</A> then click on 'find a local broker', look for NZ and a shed load will come up. Busfield marine and Laurie collins in Auckland have many listings <hr width=100% size=1>

Re: You do Andrew a discredit... Kim, Yes , more of Elaine and more of Velsheda also, although the Ocean ready series is good, and I my self am doing the Atlantic thang this year, can we have less of the ' fat wallets in Oysters doing the ARC' theme?? <hr width=100% size=1>

I have also had this problem, also I have had the intake in the leg block up, but I do not know how or even if one can ever see what's inside the leg! Assuming that the same sort of stuff goes through the leg that blocks the strainer etc, it is easy to conclude that the leg will need de-furring...

Re: serves you right Yes, sorry to say, but seems you were a tat bit stupid to let the boat go, 'whilst you were at work', and without knowing 100 % that you had the money you were expecting. If it was me, I would seriously, get over there with my spare key and take the boat back, simple as...

Re: Which one did you prefer? Kim, Definately not the one with Janneau on the front !! I love covers, and wish I'd been able to get the other one with the nice bow shot!! I must say I did a double take when I saw the other copy and no one would believe me!! <hr width=100% size=1>
