BarryK1200LT Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Hi All, Looking to buy a Maricat 4.3 in good order. Prefer one that's been maintanined in competitive race condition. But happy to consider other good boats that have been used exclusively for leisure sailing. Hoping to pick up a complete rig with trailer and beach wheels etc. Prefer a local Brisbane purchase, but willing to travel for the right boat. You can email photo's to barryst1300@live.com.au or call Barry on 0438 641 543. Cheers Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarryK1200LT Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Thanks Darcy, I'll give you a call on Monday about the boats for sale at Mannering Park. I have had two Mari's over the past six years (and a couple of Nacra's and a T4.9). I'm looking for something good, though I'm unlikely to go back to racing. My experiance has been that boats that are regulalry raced are generally (though not always) in better repair than those that have been left sitting under a tarp for years. Talk to you Monday Cheers Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgehugger Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I knew it. Hi Barry, Glad to see you back. I knew you couldn't stay away for long. I raced against your old T4.9 in Canberra Multihull Championships recently. I have a Mari as well as the Taipan. Hope to catch you on the water one day.

BarryK1200LT Posted December 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 Hi Rob, Yeah I regret selling "Learning to fly" now. I should have moth balled it for a while. How you coming to terms with that kite on your T4.9 ? Email me direct if you like at barryst1300@live.com.au Cheers Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NACRAJON Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Barry, I must say I am enjoying your old boat, it will be going past your place soon on its way to the nationals. Canberra to Hervey Bay via Cairns (5000km) leaving Fri - lets hope it makes it in one piece. Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted December 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Hi Jon, Glad to hear your having fun on "Learning to Fly" I'm sure the boat will make it all teh way up and back without hassle. Good luck at the Nat's! Cheers Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks for everyone who has contacted me. Have thought long and hard and have decided to look for a 16sq Nacra instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Homan 051 Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hey Barry It's Matt Homan there are a few good taipan's around for sale at the moment (lighter and faster than the 16 square) it would be good to have you in the class again. Give me a call anyway if you are looking for one. Regards Matt Homan 0409745404 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryK1200LT Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Hi Matt, I'm thinking of going for something with a tad more bouyancy/carrying capaciity than the T4.9 this time around. Something that I can cruise with a few extra people onbaord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
