I like them Felix, if they come down a tad in price that's good buying.
Good to hear some encouragement Shaggy. I've been sent manifests for two of these to look at tomorrow morning. This one (Blackjack) at 99k and another (Bells Breeze) at 120k.

Of course if any buying is going to take place there would be a survey but for the first look, what kind of questions would you ask??
Blackjack Notes:
99k
2 cabin version which I prefer
Rigging is younger at 2014
No engine hours but $12k engine rebuild 2018
No dodger
Old sails
Soda blasted and antifouled this month
Bells Breeze Notes:
120k
3 cabin (might be fine but lean towards 2 cabin)
Private owner post charter life has put some love and attention into it, and electronics hence the higher price
No engine hours
Younger sails
2011 Rigging means i would have to start setting aside funds for re-rig already
I looked at both these boats and was less than impressed with the honesty of the selling agent:
Blackjack supposedly had a significant amount of money spent on a full engine rebuild yet it still had oil leaking from the engine:

For a vessel that had just come out of charter, I was surprised at the state of the keel bolts:

Belles breeze had obvious issues with the deck collapsing:

I specifically asked the agent if this issue, which is common on the Jeanneaus was an issue on either of these two boats and the reply was that this is only an issue on the DS43. I flew to Sydney only to be dissapointed.
I was told that the owner had done a lot of work on it and this is what I saw:

This one is interesting yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-catamarans/easton-46ft-easton-expedition-style/231593 if you are looking for a alloy cat
Regards Don
Looks like a nice one Don. Interesting that they went with a single diesel engine instead of twins, but should be ok with the bow thruster to help docking. What a great platform to cruise up north on.
Always wondered what happened to this flyer.
Went onboard just after she was launched and could have sworn
the curved cabin timbers were laminated ash/whatever.
Is Tassie where all the old boats go to die??

This one is in a similar state (and location) to Arriba. Again a very borderline restoration project. although at least there is a mast. Huon pine hull, maybe.https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Alan-Payne-47ft-Aus-Maritime-History-For-Sale-Resto-needed-Sydney-No-Reserve-/163679786612

Far form being on her death bed, she's had lot of love in recent years. Great value if you're after that style of boat, though I prefer smaller, lighter, faster.
This is nice, would make a lovely day sailor. Seems to have quite a history. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/port-adelaide/sail-boats/tumlaren-classic-yacht-pt-adelaide/1215845324
this one is interesting but the sale is very conditional

Really like the look of these boats:

Dodger ruins this one though. Not sure I like the stove either.

Great project for someone
Have not seen a Cole 32 for sale for awhile. This one seems good value.

Good engine and gearbox and an excellent hull design. Good interior. It's a motorsailer and as long as it was used as such it would make an excellent coastal cruiser.

Hull looks good. Some of that plywood interior needs a touch up!

Yep, it's a motorsailer but I would hazard a guess that the sailing properties are reasonable as well. I quite like it, but then I do own a Fisher.

Ive seen this guy selling on eBay and Gumtree for years, boat sales must be quiet, first time I've ever seen these sorts of ads.
Very intresting yacht I wonder what the history behind this one. Lovely fitout although I would prefer a duckboard transom on a yacht this size for the coin spent.

I cannot resist. One of the things you get for your money:
"2. personal meeting to Handel all maritime paperwork (Sydney)"
I guess it must be water music.
I hope the boat doesn't Liszt.

Cheaper than a mid sized house in a capital city minus the white picket fence, you don't need a lotto ticket to own one.
