Ah yes , well done !.
You won't be disappointed .
Regards Rob J.

I am interested in a cray boat at Dover , in Tas.
Does anyone know a surveyor in the area ?.
Rob J.

nope, but is this anything like what you are looking for Rob ?

motor sailor boat endeavor viking - Merimbula - NSW - $ 19,750.00

Has a bit more superstructure than I understand you want, but the hull seems to be in the ball-park.
cheers
AJ

Thanks AJ.
I'd probably stick to HS , rather than that boat.
But I really want to get that cray boat in Dover surveyed ,'cos thats the one.
Of course , I'd have to sell HS too , and nobody seems interested in her.
Thanks anyway AJ.
Regards Rob J.

I'm still looking for my next boat.
The boat in Dover , well there is a lot to like , but its not quite right.
I'm looking for a crayboat style boat , a double ender or canoe stern , around 28 ft.
Anyone help me out here ?.
Regards Rob J.

Hi Rob,

I have two favourities in this class:

L.F.Herreshoff's Rozinante:







rozinante.org

***
and Knud Reimers' Tumlaren:







1001 Boats: Knud Reimers' 'Tumlare' or 'Tumlaren'

G/Day Robert , good to hear from you mate !.
Robert , go back to post 59 , that the style of boat I'm looking for , but canoe stern , like this one .
Because I want to use it mainly for trolling , under sail.
The boats you have put up are all quality boats , no doubt , but I'd like a nice little wheelhouse , so I can keep dry and relatively warm in winter , watching the trolling lines out the back , the sails overhead , and where I'm going.
If I had such a boat , I would have been out today , and its the middle of winter here.
The first boat is 30 ft , thats about as big as I'd like to go , the second is around 35 ft , a double ender.
It doesn't have to be as proficient under sail as the boats you put up , just enough to get me 3-4 knots , to troll by.
Regards Rob J.

I really hope I can find something down here in Sth East Aussie.
I know they are there , its just being able to get my hands on one.
There are some absolutely magnificent boats in Scandinavia , that would be perfect , but the HASSLE getting them here !!!!.
Rob J.

This would do nicely , if it wasn't so far away !.

I've finally got a photo I can post of a boat I'd really , really like.
Absolutely beautifully maintained , gawd , I'd be in heaven , with this boat.
For some reason , the owner seems reluctant to sell it to me.
I'd give it the very best of attention , but for some reason ????.

Looks like he is giving it "his" best attention already.

Maybe that's why he won't sell.

Very nice boat.

Paul.

It's not a canoe stern I know but is this something like you're after?
