INVESTIGATOR 563

Rainy day, just re-read that one Andrew. It’s all about technology lag really. We have the motors just not the fuel tank . While attempting to catch up with battery improvements we are still not there cost effectively. Finally, finally the transport industry is owning up to the fact that trains with...

Thought this was worth a bump up. Especially considering the crepe weather we are having. Not that I’m out sailing though :shock:. Anyway interesting link on Practical Boat Owner as usual. https://forums.ybw.com/threads/lightning-protection.609129/ This is fairly typical of lightening discussions as...

Given the cost of a construction of a new boat, or more precisely a new anything these days, it’s probably understandable the lack of interest.

That’s the predicted price of a kayak……next year

Hi Peter I’ve sent you another PM

My faux Tassie oak (I think) from local mill lasted a while Ian and on the mooring. This upcoming replacement Ive got some spare caravan drain hose I’m going to split lengthwise and sleeve it over the timber rail . Sort of its own little garage. I would think pool noodles with the centre hole would ...

Hi I’m just throwing it out there again by bumping this post . I believe PCFreeway is still in the market for a 563 but he’s waiting for contact. He’s after Boat only and I’m interested in your trailer. If you like you can contact me via pm with trailer details and then I’ll contact him cheers.

Bumping this again as Aldi had ski gear on Saturday. The $49 jacket in bright red would be a good sailing jacket by the look of it. Certainly cheaper than anything with “sailing “ sold in marine outlets. Once again you need to add reflective tape if it’s not on your PFD. I bought a few caps and a ba...
