INVESTIGATOR 563

Scary stuff Andrew :shock: As I mentioned once before my only through hull was the paddle speed log which I siliconed up permanently when I moored Spritzig II. I might fair it over with epoxy next haulout just to be sure after watching that. I’ll never Bluewater sail but I think I’d have things like...

The Sonata 6 was almost our first “big “ boat back in the early 90’s Andrew. My boss was selling his and I almost bought it. The accommodations were pretty much Investigator equivalent and I liked the self tacking jib as sailing all seemed a bit of a mystery back then. Finished up going with the Swi...

I don’t have Facebook but there are large marketplace and specific category marketplace Facebook sites that may help. I am a longtime gummy user but I’m becoming somewhat of a dinosaur I suppose. Gumtree has become a site for commercial car ads. You used to be able to put a “general” search in and g...

Wasn’t sure if I should put this in the “today at Valentine “ or “check your thu-hulls” .

This thread won .

I was over on a rare visit to tsp today to see if I could find some pics I posted there ten years ago. There is currently a thread on the subject above.

I don’t have to deal with this on the mooring, but I know many forum members keep their Investigator under a nice tarp in the backyard. Anyway worth noting it may have pic...

As additions to the videos often get overlooked because it’s a “sticky” I thought I’d put a heads up here on the renaming and refurbishment of Mokum. #145 See Videos general.

If anyone knows the new owner or runs into him invite him along.

Actuality Mokum was #145 (from the video), two after Spritzig II. The new owner, Clive thought it was #144 in the interview. “Sailing Kate Louise” has quite a few good YouTube clips .

Ray, the new name of 145 is “Inarmasalo”after the letters in his Grandchildren’s name

Mokum refurbishment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrJixqz2blE Mokum #144, which was one sail after mine has just featured on the you tube channel for the Raid Dinghy Cruise group. A lovely restoration and nice plug for the Investigator. This was sold by forum member johnw810 last year. . 95A7B651...
