Jubilees are fantastic. Not hugely fast, but they cover the ground.

They were designed after a gale destroyed most of the classy racing yachts on Port Phillip bay.

Sturdy, tough little boats. Some around Port Phillip bay and a few in Sydney (both Harbour and Pittwater.

Appropriate name then.....Stormy Monday!

Nice dayboat. Will be interesting to see what it fetches. I still can't believe the Dragon didn't attract a single bid at $1500.

Not one bid at $600 that could have given someone pleasant sailing for life, and then your money back.
And yet people spend that much in a day at the races.
Amazing!

Amazing. At that price you could factor in a nice new set of sails and a decent trailer. There are certainly some opportunities atm for people who want to go sailing for a low outlay.

I would grab it right now if she was closer to me. I think trucking would put the price up too high.A friend recently paid 5K for a similar size from Nth. Q to Bris.:no:
