Gidday all . I continue to resurect my Investigator . My mainsail is very poorly and has not long to live ! Has anybody got a used (cheap) one to sell ? I hope to buy new next year but need something 'fair" to get me by this year . Can anyone recommend a sailmaker for new sails ? Also I did not...

Gidday All , The idea of securing the front end to the mast sounds good . Does anyone actually sail with the top raised ? I did not realise that the top actually had any hold down bolts , all the pics I have seen do not show any . This forum certainly helps when one is stumped for a solution ! Best ...

Viewed an Investigator in Zillmere , Brisbane today . Listed on e-bay at $3500 , closes Saturday .Trailer is good . Boat has antifoul ( needs tidy) Bimini fitted . Probably a fair price recommend a look . I have a photo (hopefully)

Hope this help someone

Hi Folks, Trailer woes again. There we were holding up all the boats at the ramp, when the tilt limiter chail broke. I should have then launched the boat again and created an improvised limiter, but no.....I plowed on, pulling the boat up a rather steeper incline than normal and we were almost home...

I must own up to having bought the cheap Investigator . Its sail number is 90 and although it needs lots of work it is basically all there . The trailer however needs total replacement of the rear end . Hopefully I can post some pics at a later date .
