$outhpaw Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Hi all, I’m searching for a H17 in great condition to tear up Port Phillip Bay once more. If anyone has one for sale or knows of one please let me know. (Preferably with trailer and beach rollers) I’m in the Sandringham area (Vic) but prepared to travel. I'd also consider a Nacra 16sq... Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixonJr Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Have you considered a cobra catamaran? - cobracat.com We sail them every sunday at Parkdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeti2300 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Or a Windrush SS at Chelsea every Saturday is another good option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$outhpaw Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks for your suggestions. I've owned an H17 previously and loved the indestructibility of it along with its minimal rig time. I now have 2 young girls (7 & 9) so I thought this would be a good family boat with the bonus of the wings. I'm just having trouble finding one!! I don't really have any interest in racing, but then I do love going fast! If I can't find an H17 i'll certainly look into the Cobra or the Windrush along with the N16. Cheers!

tornado Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Give Scott Lovig a call. He may have one, could keep an eye out for one or direct you in the right place. http://www.hobiecatvictoria.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$outhpaw Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Thank Tornado! I already have Scott on the case, has not come up with any results yet though. Ideally I'd love to be in the water by Grand Final day remembering how good the weather was at that time last year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tornado Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey $houthpaw, Head down to Port Melbourne Sailing Club and see if you can get a list of members boats in the boat yard that have not sailed for a while and make an offer. Heaps of boats that have not moved in ages from Hobies to Nacras, A's and Taipans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$outhpaw Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Great idea Tornado, I'm on it! Hopefully the boats are still there after the storm ripped through today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
