Welcome Thomsonza.
Any idea of your sail number or boat name? I'm sure I've seen this one sometime before but can't place it.

Re: Trailer problem
Peter H, Welcome to the forum. I'd give the previous owner a call and ask for advice. If the boat hasn't been used for a long time, maybe the rollers are just stuck. The bottom of the transom of my boat is 1.0m from the ground. My method of launching is to back the trailer until the rear wheels of t...

Re: Sail number
Paddy, Number 55 Investigator was manufactured in late 1976. It is one of the early "Good Design Award" boats and has, or would have had, a plaque on the outside of port cockpit bulkhead. I have #55 named as "Tubby", resident in Canberra and owned by Don. She must have become &qu...

Re: How to use a Ticking Stick
A useful tool indeed.
For curved surfaces, I bought this tool from ebay. You push it up against the surface and the contour stays on the protruding pins. It is useful to define awkward shapes that are in hard to get at places. The tools come in different sizes.

Old Boating Magazine
There is a copy Australian Boating on ebay at the moment which features an Investigator on the cover. Someone might like this for their collection. The review from this magazine is on the forum. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/274593864180?hash=item3fef11d9f4:g:ZSUAAOSw8XRf8RsN Australian Boating Magazi...

Re: Ramp Reports
Cooktown Boat Ramp - North Queensland Came across this ramp recently. It's a bit remote, but the sailing looks terrific. The ramp is one of the best I've come across with two lanes and a centre floating dock. Parking is adequate and there were no Jet Ski trailers hogging the spaces. Much better than...

Re: Cockpit Locker Furniture
Ian,
I bought them elsewhere, but they are the same as the ones from Whitworths. (I have since seen them at Bunnings.) They come in black or white.
No problem so far. I think that they would hold up in the sun as they are designed for tonneau covers.

Re: Showcase your Investigator
Welcome Sam. I haven't heard about Mishka for a very long time. I have an old photo of an Investigator that I think might be Mishka. The photo was taken in Taree following a regatta for Trailer sailers (which it won) and shows it being launched next to (yellow) Baby Doll, the last Investigator off t...

Re: Coffsharbour i563 for sale
I last saw this one advertised for sale at Speer's Point on a mooring back in 2012. At the time, it looked to me like the hull had been lengthened but here it is, as normal as can be. Below is the photo from the old advertisement. On closer examination, the old photo looks suspiciously like it has b...

Re: WA investigator
I've only come across four of the WA designed Investigators. This one makes five. I asked the seller (Gavin) for more details but he said that the boat has no name and that there is no number on the sail even though it looks original and has the Investigator logo on it. I haven't sail numbers for an...
