QB2 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I have the 9 metre (28 foot) mast off my old QB2. Any suggestions for disposing of it for a realistic price? Metals recyclers are prepared to pay 99 cents per kilo but I'd rather see it used than recycled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB2 Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Whem i last heard the QB association had the plans and a f/glass hull mould somewhere in melbourne. the mould was probably scrapped years ago. you could try Lindsay Cunningham in melb who was the original designer. I have no idea who was left in the association after it folded about 5-10 years ago. I was told some former QB owners had moved into taipans but i have no contacts and boyer and Co when i spoke to them some years ago said the QB class was dead with less than a handful of boats known to be in existence. i knew of one in melbourne and mine and that was it. Mine sadly finally went to the tip a month ago I cut the mast up with a hacksaw and was most impressed with the lack of corrosion after 30 years of sailing. i am going to save the mast cap, diamonds and base but the rest is going to the scrap metal merchant at 99 cents a kilo.

Leapin Leroy Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Try Brisbane Scrap & Steel or Brisbane Metal Recyclers, they're in Slacks Creek. Talk to Dave & tell him Leigh from The Double L Group has referred you, he should give you a better rate than Joe Public gets... Leroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
