Im seeking any info on a Jeaba yacht. Apparently an American design that was manufactured on the Gold Coast in (I suspect) very small volumes by Silverline boats.

This one is 30' and dated to 1989.

That is a Quest 8m
Designed by Bluey Williams as a 23 footer with the 8m having the extended stern section to give a lazerette and the doghouse extended forward
Built by Clive Hooper at Bulimba in the mid to late 1970s
Went to factory as a kid

I'm not sure that is correct, but thanks for the reply. This is 30 foot not 26.

That one is an original 23 while the one on Australia listed has the extended stern and extended cabin top
