What did they pay for the other one at kermandie. You can buy the book on that one .

Looks bloody neat mate.
A few thoughts and I'll compare to a few boats similar
- will be slower than a Mottle 33 but I like the interior and deck layout better
- looks easier to get to aft cabin than alot of boats her size
- in boom furling is not ideal IMHO with more people removing than installing. Will hurt performance by 5-10% to windward, both speed and pointing. Plus they can be touchy to use
- would probably be about the speed of a Huon 36 around the track
- instruments look old, no parts available forr repair
- same for furler, looks old. Don't know why you'd spend thousands on boom furler and havr ancient headsail furler
- doesn't mention standing rigging at all, so may be getting on. Mind you if mast had respray then you'd hope they replaced standing rigging.

Is it for you mate? I'm down that way Monday installing a furler so if you want me to have a quick look I can, or can organize a full check through work for a few $$.

I recall Osprey was painted sky blue and written off a few years ago after a run in with with a ship or land - and spent some time on the market as a repairable write off. She's obviously had a lot of work done, and may be better than before her incident.

Hi Rumblefish

In the advert it says that the standing rigging was replaced in 2013 so it is not that old

Thanks for the offer to take a look at her but we are back in Tassie tonight so I will have a look at her in the next couple of days and see what she looks like in the flesh and decide if we are interested enough to to go any further

Regards Don
