Re: Laminated Tiller construction

Although I am no longer an I563 owner, some here will remember I posted avidly in the past when I was the owner of Aminee. As a keel boat owner now I still find it of great interest to keep up with the I563 community, as everyone says they are terrific boats and I still miss mine. I am now sailing a...

Re: Seaglass AreoRig

Ozzie, the Sonata 7 is a great boat perfect step up from an I563. Spent quite a lot of time getting it set up for single named sailing in BB as opposed to holiday cruising in Gippsland lakes. So very happy and is surprisingly fast hits 6-7 kts with modest breezes.

you can probably get this from https://www.keeleymarine.com.au

They have an amazing selection of parts including mast components for the investigator, they will surely help you find an appropriate replacement.
