Trailer Sailer Place

I should have posted before. I gave this antenna to PaulS. Hope he's put it to good use as I received another request from an interested TSPer.

Ultimate 18 - $4,099 neg. - Hilton WA

https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hilton/ ... 1269167768

Not sure if its Red or Blue.

Hilton is a suburb of Fremantle, this boat is located a Canarvan, way up North near Coral Bay. Maybe his car broke down.

That Rivian is one Ugly MF..... It is welcome to remain on the farm.

New listing for a near new two burner Maxi on eBay.

https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Maxie-Metho ... SwpZtgNPVq

Wow that is really pricey. Mine is better so I will sell it for $1000.------No I will not, I will mention in my Will.

Hi everyone, I managed to lose the brake fluid cap for my Sensa Brake actuator. I made contact with Alko and I found it really depends who you are fortunate to get on the line, because they really do not want to speak with the end user. One was so short as to simply connect me to voice mail message ...

Cole 23 - $13,500 - Rockingham, WA https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Trailer-Sailer/393128988509?hash=item5b88504f5d:g:7qkAAOSwnXJgJMXU That looks like a nice looking Cole 23. Very clean, though the trailer may need an upgrade due to weight as some time in the near future. Cannot really tell what conditi...

Beautiful photos Paul. I think the photos you took that night are some of the best photos I have seen of TS's at night or as a fleet.

Ed I was trying to be conservative! For once!

Yes I understand, but it is good to have a dream. You never know it may just happen.

Here is a video of The Dinghy Spart - East Coast of Tasmania

This is a video shot by my then 9 year old grand daughter. I think you'll get the idea of what a Careel looks like during a cruise. PS: when buying a boat it is far more value to buy a known and respected design rather than a boat that is perhaps a one off issue. Video below: https://youtu.be/kjocvg...

I have been thinking about this for a little bit. One thing that you must keep in mind is "What is it that I want to buy a sail craft for." This is an important question. If the answer is to sail as fast as possible, perhaps win a race or two then clearly a fast RL24 may fit the bill for you. A hart...

They look like a nice stove. It would be interesting to know how well they are rated by users.

I think the above comment about the RedWitch is very valid. They are a stable deep water yacht, but I would hardly call them trailable due to the fixed keel situation. The comment about the RL for price are valid too, but an RL is a racing dinghy in the form of a TS, it has a cabin. If you want spee...

2020 Couta Boat - $21,000 - Port Adelaide https://yachthub.com//list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/couta-boat/257918 The advertisement says this boat was built 9 years ago but launched last year. Seems to have lost 8 years. What happened with this boat between its built date and its first lau...

Ahoy TSPers,

I just want to say that I have just updated the BTYC website with the latest Newsletter and also with new photographs taken during the Gippsland Lakes Adventure Cruise. Many more stories including Part 2 of Grasshopper's America's Great Loop. Lots of photos too,

Enjoy

Welcome Stephen. Enjoy your cruise. I look forward to reading about your adventure/s.

I had an interesting experience on the weekend, which I think has given me some clues as to what might be happening. The anderson plug at the back of my car is run through one of these things, just after the wiring leaves the battery, under the bonnet: ..................... I don't really think it'...

Before I move my compass to a new position will being near radios affect compass operation
Thanks in advance
Hugh

Hugh the position of the compass must be away from any metal or magnetic interference. Near a radio will not be good as the radio body usually contains many metal parts.

The one negative that I have with my Super Winch 5000 (now perhaps 16 years old) is that I do not have a remote control. I can fashion one with a little imagination using appropriate strings, (Noelexian has done this) but I must say that it has never been a real issue, so i have not made one. I simp...

I received the following email from Port Phillip Council today. It looks like the new marina will indeed be designed to comply with the latest Australian Standards. I have not actually seen AS 3962-2020 because Standards Australia has not sent me a copy despite the fact that we had made a substantia...

It was a great weekend joining my friends Paul and Dale on Paul's Boomerang 20, Sea Dove. The race was very well organised and well catered for by the Warneet Motor Yacht Club. Because of the early morning start the briefing took place on the evening on Friday 5th. A nice breakfast was provided the ...

This is not over yet and I encourage everyone with an interest in TS sailing in Victoria to write to both DEWLP and the Port Phillip Council to ask why the Proposed redevelopment of the StKilda Marina is not being done to meet AS3962-2020. Below is an email that I have received from Jasmine J Collar...

Wow that sounds like a great adventure. Wish I could join you. I would love to see photographs of the event.

I have to say after watching the performance of the Waspz sailing I was very heartened and now more than convinced that sailing, including TS sailing is far from dead. There is now a truly exciting alternative to those pesky noisy, petrol guzzling sedoos or whatever they are called. Once those peopl...
