Re: Roberts Adventure 25 t/s
I love that statement “ no previous boat building experience required”. (famous last words)😆 Yes I agree Andrew looks top heavy and the original is a nice looking boat even the pilot house version looks good. A boat has to look right and that’s what attracted me to the Investigator. Some t/s look li...

Re: General interest Links and Videos
Funny you should mention that, I’ve often thought of making a temporary dodger for the Investigator.They really are a great idea and almost essential for offshore sailing. Here are my favourite sailing couple solving this problem. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=w5wYICajlek For the Investigator It wou...

Roberts Adventure 25 t/s
This t/s caught my eye, very roomy with some good ideas.
It also has my favourite 1970’s furnishing.

Re: General interest Links and Videos
Thanks Ozzie That’s real minimalist sailing. I’m back into reading so good opportunity to exercise. As a complete contrast I’ve been watching this English couple sailing a Hans Christian 48 from UK around Biscay to the Med. Wonderful boat but high maintenance brass and teak. http://sailingfairisle.c...

Re: Outboard information
Ozzie. I do my own maintenance on outboards bikes and cars courtesy of Youtube. I have to do a few comparison searches to get the general drift before starting. If a dummy like me can do it then anybody can. As a pensioner It saves me heaps. So Youtube has its positive side not just whacko conspirac...

Re: Yachting deaths at Port Stephens
Tragic boating accident Ozzie. That’s our local walking beach at Bellambi. Saw the search choppers yesterday. A sheltered boat ramp but once out from the little breakwater you’re in open ocean with a treacherous reef to the south. I have sailed here in the Investigator from Port Kembla ramp but impo...

Re: Winter jobs/ lockdown
Hi Dave Congrats on the boat purchase. Mine was also just a bare day sailer. Sometimes I think that’s better then you can fit it out to suit yourself. Over the years of cruising lakes and limited offshore sailing I have experimented with many different setups. I sail with other owners sometimes and ...
