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.

Re: Old article about Sail - La - Vie (Spindrift) #114
Thanks Peter for the additional photos of Minnow. She is definitely a drop keel model so probably migrated to WA sometime in her life. I've noticed a couple of drop keels among the WA boats. This boat is also the early stern version.

Re: Old article about Sail - La - Vie (Spindrift) #114
I thought that I would have a go at enhancing this picture a little with photoshop. The old colour photos seem to redden with age. When I enlarged the picture in Photoshop, I was delighted to see that the outboard was a Seagull. This was a common outboard in the sixties but very rare these days.

Thanks Peter. I don't think I have come across this one before. That makes the 8th Investigator known to reside in WA.

Re: i563 “Minnow” in WA $9700 firm
This one was sold before I had a chance to look at the photos. From the thumbnail, it doesn't look like any of the WA Investigators that I have listed. (If anyone downloaded any of the images, could they post them here.) I'm interested to see if this WA boat has a drop keel or not. If you are the ne...

Re: Does the year of manufacture make much difference?
Great information Peter, directly from the source. This blows my theory that the change to the stern design was a result of the mould fire. The confirmed production date also firms up the production timeline. I've amended my graph based on Peter's findings. If anyone else has a definite production d...

Re: Does the year of manufacture make much difference?
My conjecture on the "change points" comes from photographs I have collected over the years of various Investigators. The problem is that you need a confirmed boat number as well as a photo of the aspect you are looking for. In some cases, the boat number given by the owner may not be corr...

Re: Does the year of manufacture make much difference?
Some years ago, I went through my list of Investigators. It was obvious that many of the dates of manufacture that I had accumulated were just guesses by previous owners, but others seemed to be about right . I plotted the boat number of these Investigators against the given year of manufacture and ...
