Re: $1000 investigator

Re: Storage Bins

Neat setup Peter. Good call on the trimming of the stern most bin. I’ve been tempted to do this but on the mooring I have my boom tent rolled around 20mm pvc pipe stiffeners on the edge, boat hook, tiller, fishing rods, extension bilge pump pipe and the kitchen sink under the cockpit floor. I’m also...

Re: USEFUL STUFFS

Just a heads up, Aldi have the hi viz lined work jackets on this Saturday. These are quite passable as sailing wear and very reasonably priced by comparison. I’ve had one for years and have used it in cold weather when my thin Burke does not cut it. Be warned though they are hi viz but not night ra...

Re: Mast Raising Tool

Good invention mate, particularly like the base clamped on companionway step over. How long is the device for future reference? My rear support is square section adjustable for height with top roller. I think there is a pic on here somewhere. I bought that with the boat so can claim no credit.

Re: Investigator 563 WANTED - Sydney, NSW

Fair question Peter. I’ve treated my swing keel/centre board with mostly fish oil my whole ownership. Other than when welding on a new pull rind for the rope, when I took the opportunity to prime it , metal paint and antifoul. At one point I blocked off the slot at the bottom and filled the cavity w...

I want an Investigator trailer.

Hi all, I’m in the market for another trailer. My current one is repairable but I’m so busy on other matters at the moment that I don’t have time or energy to spend on it. I thought I’d throw it out there and see if anybody has one they want to sell/ replace with a new one. Or maybe someone who’s co...

Re: USEFUL STUFFS

This Saturday 27/2 the Aldi conglomerate have tools on again. You can check the site for details. I recommend again their Workzone tape which is a woven/duct tape more really the gaffer tape I used on my music days. I’ve found it quite strong for emergency repairs etc. Only thing I note is the descr...

Re: Members in FNQ

Sounds like you are well prepared mate. We have the Coleman rechargeable like yours for the motorhome. Although we eschew free camping in the really hot months and stick to caravan parks with 240 so we can run aircon. I’m bloody getting soft in my old age :shock:. It’s an oxymoron that people in big...
