INVESTIGATOR 563

Right now I am very happy to have an Investigator 563. Was diagnosed with NH Lymphoma in March, and now in the middle of 4 months of chemo, which means no sailing. If I had a keelboat, not being able to get to it for 4 or 5 months over winter would be a worry. Meanwhile my little Yara sits happily u...

And another one - Investigator 823 https://yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/investigator-823/213314 That is a modified Marauder 27. Looks like they want to piggyback on the good reputation of the Investigator563. The most intersting part of that mod is the conversion to a tille...

Just wait another week until the government school holidays start!

When I tried to stop the spammers I started banning based on their IP addresses. However it got too hard and I gave up. You might be unfortunate enough to drop onto one of those.

Tyres have a use by date. Cracking side walls are dangerous and you will be pinged on a rego check. My 10yo tyres with perfect tread had to be replaced for this reason. Light truck tyres are harder to get at 13 inch size, but not impossible. I seem to remember that my hubs are Holden standard, but y...

It is possible that someone liked the idea of the well, and ordered a special. Then they learned the hard way about the disadvantages of this type of well, and glassed it in. The theory of which side to mount the outboard bracket is based on prop rotation. Clockwise rotation theoretically kicks the ...
