Hi Suzie,

Forgive me please, but your posts would be much easier to read if you would split them into sentances with a little punctuaton.

Cheers Jerry

Re: Moody Halberdier

Speaking from memory the original was a Primrose design and the hull is the same as the Warrior.

If so a good roomy solid design.

There is, I believe, an owners website.

Re: Moody Halberdier

I'd take one anywhere, as long as the rigging and sails were up to it.

They have the hull shape and displacement to make them quite a comfortable boat. I was looking at one quite recently....could this be the very reasonably priced one on the US East coast?

Re: Moody Halberdier

Very solid old tub with good build quality that will look after you well. Like most boats of this type the one disadvantage is that they roll like a piggy at anchor. But so do lots of other monohulls !

Re: Moody Halberdier

Suzie,

you are doing fine. It's considered rude on this forum to make reference to anyone making spulling mistaks or comment on their punktuation (unless SOMEONE IS MISADVERTENTLY SHOUTING).

Re: Moody Halberdier

Erm, Jerryrat......I think that you should spell 'sentances' 'sentences'.

Ho MH

Yep, spotted that after I posted!! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

SteveC, why is it rude? I posted in as gentle and apologetic way I could. I'd followed Suzie's posts on this and the other forum with much difficulty.

Do YOU not think a little extra punctuation would help us help her?

Cheers Jerry

survey..

Hi.... survey it yourself...just have a seriously judicitious look...and offer 60%...in view of sellers terms....if you really are interested....borrow a moisture meter....its not rocket science.............

The halberdier was an Alan Hill design. Introduced in 1967 and there's a rather nice one here: http://www.yachtsnet.co.uk/archives/halberdier/moody-halberdier.htm

Thats an exceptional boat, if the OP could afford that one, then his search is over. Immaculate springs to mind and everything done, including 2 baby blakes!

Ooops

Guys

the OP was back in 2005, I hope they are not still looking!

Suzie,

you are doing fine. It's considered rude on this forum to make reference to anyone making spulling mistaks or comment on their punktuation (unless SOMEONE IS MISADVERTENTLY SHOUTING).

However, Steve, it really does help reading some of the long posts to have sentences and paragraph to break up the piece.

In this case, not only punctuation is missing, there are no CAPITAL letters to help either - so some one probably having a larf....
