Windrush 14, $600. Reg trlr $300 Neg, Mannering Pk
darcy1945 posted a topic in Windrush Sailors Forum
Good sailing condition, stock, early Windrush (Not foam or bulkhead models). Currently cat rig, but jib, trap wires, and most fittings supplied. $600 boat only. Reg trlr $300 if required. Lake Macquarie NSW. Ph02 43591729. -
Screws or rivets (I prefer screws). Use only 1 rivet in the rear hole, to fix the tiller in the casting (The front hole is what causes them to break)

Where are you ? -
Nice looking boat, we have a good strong cat fleet racing at Mannering Pk on saturdays, Mari, Hobie, Taipan and F18s. Come down any saturday, or give me a call on 43591729.
-
Give me a call on 02 43591729, I have a contact for good and cheap tramps.

Your mast is standing to close to vertical, do not add chainplates to the side stays, the tack of the jib should be attached to the furler, which is attached to the bridle, any adjustment should be at the top of the jib above the swivel.

I have a very good, cat rigged, foam sandwich Mari on good reg trlr. $4k. As close to a new boat as you will get and more than 10k less than new. 02 43591729. NSW Central coast.

Mk2 has the traveller track as part of the rear beam extrusion, Mk1 track is a separate "I" beam attached to the rear beam. A good Mk1 is as good as a good Mk2 in performance.

Yes, Maricat rudders,Ph 0243591729. NSW Central Coast.

Jish, I have a good Mari jib for $150, another fair $100. Windy jibs are smaller, but will do the job almost as well. Darcy 0243591729.

The strop broke because it was due for replacement, check your stays and dolphin striker for any sign of damage/wear.

Mari jibs originally were smaller and sheeted to tracks on the front beam. Current jibs are larger, and sheet to tracks or saddle on alloy tramp track, just in front of side stays. Yours appears to be current size. Your sails appear to be in reasonable condition. If original, your boat is an early, Mk1 which (on condition of sails) has seen little use.
-
Still available, or, complete rig (Mast, boom and mainsail) $150
-
I'm to far north to help with your local info, just keep posting and learning. Best advice I can give, is to find the local clubs, and go with the fleet that suits your pocket.
-
Good cheap racing , tough with few known faults. A bit more expense, for more performance is the Taipan. Both will carry your 95kg comfortably in "Cat" rig, solo sailing, on trapeze for the Taipan.
