Hi Ramona
Yoop is a nice boat but out of his price range
He helped another mate bring a Manitou down here from Sydney a year or so ago and liked the aft cabin layout
If he is interested I don't suppose your mate in Melbourne would be prepared to have a look at and give is opinion on what would be needed to be done it sail it over
My 2 mates are pretty handy and good at making do with what is available so it doesn't have to be all that flash
I kind of hope that the Yoop doesn't sell as we are struggling for boats in the race fleet and she sails with us in some of the races
Regards Don

I reckon that would have been on Gumtree for about 2 hours!

That is about how long he said it took

Thanks for the ad, I showed it to my wife to prove it wasn't worth selling our Carter 33 Passage 
.
I think she sails really well, the galley is too small but otherwise a comfortable boat.
That boat is at my marina. From what I recall, the damage is quite a bit more than ""minor" with a hole in the foredeck and fittings pulled out. It has been sitting there for ages.
Regardless lots of good spare parts.

Also Ramona how do they compare with a Manitou 32
Regards Don
About twice the size. The Manitou started out as an aft cockpit 27 foot long keeler. The topsides were raised and a canoe stern added to get the length to 32 feet so essentially it's an old style long keeler. The Carter 33 is based on the IOR racer. I've never sailed on one but always been a fan. This link will give all the info you will need. I would have bought an aft cockpit version though.

Some good quality fittings on this boat. My thoughts are that to pay someone in Melbourne to bring it back to an insurable prospect would cost more than what it would be worth.
Still a real gift for someone with a hard stand available or some time on their hands.
I wonder what the story behind the damage is? Can't see any backing washers or plates there.

Hi Andrew
When i spoke to the owner yesterday he told me about this damage and said that it was caused by a mooring rope getting caught around it
Regards Don
