Hi all, It has been quite a few years since I refurbished my fantastic I563 and I did not realise until recently that Photobucket have shafted their online photo storage customers by removing their free 3rd party hosting, thus, none of my pics or any photobucket will display. Unfortunately, photobuc...

Had a chat with him and he l...

Hi all, Well as mentioned my lovely I563 has sold and I've now got a Farrier TT680 trimaran in the driveway. I've been going through boxes of stuff and came across the old aluminium windows with the rubber seals. Given that i replaced the windows on my I563 these were no longer needed so time to see...

Have you sailed it at all? No... :cry: That's the worse part. All this love, energy, time and yes, money and I may not even get to sail her. Hopefully a Tasmanian will buy her and I might be able to wrangle a crew position :-) If she does not sell then I'll certainly sail her but given that I'm out...
