Re: Summer Reading Suggestions

One of the reviews of the Investigator in the Magazine Library was written by Geoff Toghill. He wrote more than 60 books about all things nautical. Geoff died in 1975 aged 85.

Re: The List

Andrew, Just love a good (Investigator) mystery, but I think, in this case, that the two names are just a co-incidence. My listing comes from an 2014 advertisement for this boat. There were other photos in the original ad with the boat rego clearly visible in two of them. The NSW trailer rego is als...

Re: The List

Attached is an updated list of Investigators. The list was compiled from my own records of the boats that I have come across from advertisements, this forum, Facebook or google images over the last twenty or so years. I have listed boats where I have found either the sail number, name or registratio...

Summer Reading Suggestions

I thought that it might be interesting to start a thread listing the books that members have found interesting regarding all things nautical. I recently finished reading: The Great Windships: How Sailing Ships Made the Modern World by Brian Stafford. It covers the history of sail in a very entertain...

Re: Also 1985 i563 in Queensland $3800

This is Palamida, Robert Burrell's old boat. Robert was very active on this forum and posted several youtube videos. The Investigator looks like it has been moored for a few years but is otherwise in good shape. The price seems very reasonable. My records show this as boat No 5. Runaway bay is just ...

Re: The List

Hi Peter, I do have two listings for Sail-La-Vie. They could be the same boat and I just didn't pick up on it because the rego numbers are different. Here is a picture of the "other" Sail-La-Vie. Let me know if this is your boat. Regarding duplicate names, I have come across three Snoopys.

Re: $6000 Aspendale Gardens Vic

Hi Clav. I hope you enjoy your time with Windsong. I have a note that says the boat number could be 20, but have no idea where that gem of information came from. If the original mainsail is still with the boat, you will be able to confirm. Here is picture of your Investigator from back in 2007. pic6...

Re: Old article about Sail - La - Vie (Spindrift) #114

Thanks for the additional photo. I had Mishka down as sail 107 but not sure how I had determined this. The last record I had of Mishka was in 2012 when she was in Kalamunda.

On my to do list for this year, is to recompile and post my list of Investigators.
