cs_crazy_man Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi, I am looking to start sailing A Class Cats and was looking to purchase a good first boat. Does anyone have or know someone with a complete A Class they may be looking to sell? Prepared to collect from almost anywhere. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 There's an older one in Merimbula going at a bargain $1000. I could find out the contact details at this weekend's regatta if you're interested. Otherwise, see this page: http://www.a-cat.org.au/classifieds4sale.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dowling Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 This one is for sale in Brisbane from further down the list. It's in very good condition and had only one owner before the current owner who has only used it once. Give the owner a ring or I can tell you it's history and a full report on it's condition. http://catsailor.net/forums/showthread.php?3654-A-Class John Dowling 0409370641 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cs_crazy_man Posted March 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Tonyquoll thanks for your help. I am located in Sydney but would still be interested. If you could send me the details that would be great. 0437 292 307 John Dowling - Thanks for your link but it is a little more than what I am currently looking to spend.

You probably need to work out what your expectations for the boat are as well as how much you want to spend. If you aren't going to race then buy anything that is seaworthy. The one I pointed out will be a good club boat for average mixed fleets. it would be towards the back of the fleet at State and National level although it is in ready to sail condition with good sails. Be very careful of cheaper boats with out of date sails if you want to race seriously - that will add cost. Also have someone very familiar with A's help you with the inspection - plenty of those in Sydney. The NSW States will be at Kurnell on 19-20 March so come and have a look and a chat - I'll be there.

cs_crazy_man Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 A Class Tonyquoll - just wanting to see if you were able to confirm the sellers details for the A Class in merimbula. Johndowling - Thanks for your feedback. At this stage our club has one other A Class and it is an older plywood boat but with a young rig. P(probably not the quickets A Class getting around) I imagine it would something similar to the one tonyquoll has available. I am happy with something like that and possible looking at something newer / better condition up to 4k. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyquoll Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Sorry the A-class sold last Friday night, and was promptly entered in the Wallagoot Regatta the next day. It took line honours in every race, not so good on yardstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
