Investigator number 10

[Greg]

Hi there,

Ive just bought my first investigstor and it is sail number 10. The guy I bought it off had got it from a broker and knew nothing about its history. I was wondering if anyone here would know anything about it?

[Ozzie]

Hi Greg. Welcome to the forum. It is interesting that your sail number is 10 as you appear to have the smaller windows of the later model. Does your front hatch have one or two hinges?? The early mode 563s had angular windows like Robert Bs model as the picture at the top of the page. OR maybe my eyes are going funny.

[Greg]

It has 2 hinges on the hatch and your right it has skinny windows too.

The main sail looks like its has a few repairs, maybe it was supposed to be 10x i.e 101 or 102. Rego says it was built in 1977. She might be a bitzer!

Either way its not going to effect how much fun the family have on it. Can't believe how stable these boats are on the water.

Hi Greg
It will be in the 100s because wagtail is 72 and it only has a single hinge on the front hatch

Once Greg, we were tracking down how many investigators we had on the forum by number. If we ever get the lot and are missing one between 100 and 109 odd or whatever it is we will allocate you that number

Also someone once said the number was under the design award plate! Do you have one?

Edit just found the old post of last compiled list thanks to Raya.


Anyone want to post any missing sail numbers that they know and I will edit.

Hi Greg
Welcome and as Ozzie said you might find your boat no. by process of elimination.
Raya or Ozzie thanks and you can delete Liquid Addiction from the list as it is now my boat Current Affair no.166
Cheers

All

If someone is keeping the I563 list up to date as per this thread, can you/they please delete 'Snow Dancing' ( that was Aminee before I bought and renamed her) and correct the Aminee entry from 'Snow Dancer' to 'Snow Dancing' as the previous name thanks

Regards

Mark

sorry to go off subject for one second but are you guys going off the sail number on your sails
for your boat number.
or the hull identification number on the tag which has waterways at the top of it ?
