Add 'Spirit of Christy' to that list
Named by the previous owner, and having a Naval background I must stick with that name to prevent that big whirlpoool swallowing me up!

Re: Free Investigator 563
I love a project, just wondering if you'd ship to Perth for free too!!!!

Re: Making Water
Thanks Steve, for raising this issue, as having just had the first real downpour of the winter, I have too got rain water in the bilges. I think mine is from a plywood sealed (not so sealed) access hatch on the rear bulkhead of the cockpit, but until I open it I won't be sure. I don't see any access...

Re: Bilge Repairs required
I have contacted the previous owner who had the boat a long time, he states that this boat never had a Centreboard. He states that some of the Investigators were made differently and 'Christy' was one of only a few made with CB. That brings a bit of peace of mind, knowing all is correct in the keel....

Re: Bilge Repairs required
Thanks, was thinking about applying a thin layer of resin/micro-balloon mix and then glassing over. Its similar to how I repair my surfboards, but using heavier glass on the boat.

Re: No Centreboard
I see nothing but solid fully gkassed keel, no signs of it being glassed over?
Thank for the pic tip, but I tend to post from my phone so that's why I use Dropbox.

Re: Bilge Repairs required
You can just see the lead ingots, the most aft one has MBM marked on the top, the substrate around is cement.
