INVESTIGATOR 563

I'm a little perplexed over this one. Peter says that C Games' owner stated that his boat had a fire and that it is no more and then this one shows up at the tip. They both have that large cleat on the foredeck. I believe that the boats are not the same for the the following reasons: [1] The pushpi...

I think maybe C Games that caught fire earlier this year? I don't think it's C Games, I sold my I563 to Tony in Devonport (who has since passed away sadly) he renamed her C-games My I563 (later C-Games) had the windows flush with the cabin top during my complete restoration/refurbishment and not re...

Hi Steve, She's was fully refurbished by me a few years ago so hopefully, she has been looked after. I spoke ith Tony the owner I sold her to, sadly, he passed away with a sudden heart attack. He did say when we caught up for a chit-chat that the windows never leaked, so that was good news on the re...

Hi all, Wow, a 2014 post popping up, got to love Investigator 563's I did not end up running a spinnaker or roller furling and only ran the jib that was supplied with the Investigator 563. I sold my lovely I563 before I could move forward on spinnakers and furlers but they were always on the cards. ...

Ian, A huge thank you for your hard work and dedication with what is a wonderful sailing community on the I563 forum. It is testament to the quality of a forum, especially an online forum that the quality of the forum's tone and effectiveness is facilitated by the forum admin and moderators. I learn...

Hi all, I was reminiscing through the forum and noticed a lot of my refurbishment photos are missing or have the weird 'Photobucket' out of focus look. If anyone is interested in my refurbishment photos I'll post them in a cloud server (dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive or similar) and if you're intereste...

This is my refurbished 563, I refurbished her back in 2012/13. It was a full refurbishment with EVERY nut and bolt removed (except keel, had no access in the garage) It was a year-long refurbishment on weekends and the New 2013 Honda 4stroke sits on an equally impressive Tenob brand, fully SS, 4stok...

Hi all, My refurbished 563 is up for sale on Gumtree https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/devonport/sail-boats/investigator-563-trailer-sailer/1239081059 She's looking a bit worn out but I know my refurbishment was spot on so not a lot of work to bring her back up to the quality when I refurbished. Well ...

Hi all, Although I've been inactive for a few years there's no doubting that I still love the Investigator trailer sailer. I'm on the hunt for another keelboat and as much as I'd love to have another I563 but my Hybrid just won't tow it. Actually, my Hybrid won't tow anything, heck, I doubt it could...

UPDATE; From CruiserPete :-) Spoke to the purchaser a few years ago (sadly, he passed away a few years ago, just after speaking with him) He confirmed that the windows haven't leaked, which is brilliant as this method was untried by me, tried by others but now I'm glad to say, this is an excellent t...
