darcy1945 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Mossie, 16 sq or, if very lucky, a 4.9 Taipan. F/glass P/T under $3k will be a dog. Don't know enough about A/Omega to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcy1945 Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hydras are much heavier than others mentioned, but are cheap for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bad dog Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 It's not on your list, but an 'old' Mk4 A Cat would fit the bill: knock the socks off all the cats listed above, light, easy to rig (assuming carbon mast), predictable and well behaved in all conditions - even 30kn, quick in light air, and easy to right if you do lose it (assuming carbon rig). Got mine on eBay for $3k, although I did have the carbon mast from a separate purchase, incl sail for $1200 - that's $4.2k all up. Plus the usual money bleed along the way - it is a boat after all!

Paul124ac Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Jack's A was $2500 Micky, with carbon rig. There's another close by for same dosh but ally mast. I'd personally like to see you in an AO, quick jiggers. JD is talking about selling his Taipan but it'll be 'spensive, around $8k. A Nacra 5.2 would be around $2500 for a goody, young K got his for $1500, might be worth talking to Charlie as his 5.8 may be coming up? Whatever you do mate, that Witch will be going nowhere but my backyard. BTW I've still got the keys to it, don't forget, and JBear has paid the storage so stop worrying about Lando.
