Anyone out there that can tell me about its sailing characteristics?
How is the build quality compared to a Joubert baker built Brolga?
I missed out on a Magpie 34 (wanted too much for what needed to be done.) and the Brolga that sold this morning.
So the search is on again for another similar boat. Unless someone knows of another Magpie for sale.

S&S34???
Yea, most S&S 34s in good condition that ive seen are out of my price range. I actually haven't been on one though. Pretty boats!
I've been on a Brolga and magpie, and both have just enough headroom for me ( 6'2") to the forward cabin, where many other <35' boats don't seem to have that headroom to the v berth.
Aesthetically, I like the look of the coachroof of the jouberts and S&S more so than the sleek east coast and quite a few of the Duncansons.I also prefer the stern on the jouberts compared to the S&S34. Too pinched.
There is another Brolga for sale in Sydneyhttps://www.boatsales.com.au/boats/details/1974-BROLGA-Sloop/SSE-AD-5465331?pageSource=details&id=SSE-AD-5465331
Anyone know of her?
I was thinking of looking at the Manitou just to have something to play with. Stick an outboard on her, and she might get underway again lol
