INVESTIGATOR 563

Don't know where blade came from as was with the boat but I ditched the crappy cheek system and had my fabricator make new s/s cheeks with uphaul and downhaul integrated as well as hinged tiller. Spend much time running down wind both sailing and motoring as I head home down the Myalls in a nor'east...

My kick up rudder is same format as your Hartley unit except that the blade is a full foil, probably the same width as yours but from the pic I'd guess 250mm or so longer. The foil is about 45-50mm thick. It is slightly balanced as well, i.e. the leading edge is level with the transom which means it...

From Violet Hill camp ground/launching ramp head north through the narrows - Tickerabit is on the right at the stb marker and Shelley is at to the north east on the eastern shore. Newcast...

All of the moorings have been removed - the previous lessee had not...

Only need sail numbers to race - hull numbers, boat code, waterways regos, looks after everything else.

Maritime superstition says its bad luck to change the name of a boat

Keep an eye on that seal you used. I use it in number of places on my boat and have replaced it a couple of times too. It hardens with age and in the sun. Maybe next time try Butyl tape, the type glaziers use for glass curtain wall panels on buildings. A little messy but sticks and seals like no tom...

Firstly, if you use 6mm laminations there should be no need to steam bend provided that the bend is not ridiculously severe - just glue the laminations with epoxy and clamp them to your jig/pattern in one hit. I made the folding table for my Cole 23 in the early 80's and kept it. Its an all teak pro...
