More fun (or at least a better story) if she doesn't! The thread is project boats, it's part of the fun

Okay. If someone here buys her, I'm in for a trip north of 30kts. Just someone please get the ensuing wipeout, & breakup, on film. It'll look like the opening scene from the $6,000,000 Man.
The epic launch off of a wave, & the gymnastic tumble & disintegration on landing. Oh, wait, let me make sure my will's up to date first
But yeah, I can add this to my Bucket List. Well, only if the boat's named after some trashy, well known (living) porn star. Good PR = $ for physical therapy & rehab. Nathalie Boet. Anyone, anyone: Nathalie Boet?

the kelsall honestly peaked my interest. it must be one of the first foam sandwich tris ever built and I have to say its a "beautiful" boat. someone with more time than I needs to fix her up & take her to the golden oldies.

if anyone has checked on her in person and willing to share details, please send a pm.

I also have a bunch more photos the sellers friend sent me.. if anyone would like those please send pm. they revealed a lot of work needed on how the nets are attached to hulls, and some minor rot in a cabin or bulkhead and lots of other projects but nothing obviously catastrophic.

42' open wing nicol tri, pretty sure was probably posted to this thread before this guy bought it about a year ago

and another, harris 38, up the frasier river in Vancouver Canada...

this boat has been for sale on and off for awhile, someone needs to offer them $1000 (750usd) and take it away

and here is an open 31ft cat with glass/ply wing mast in Florida. anyone want to take a guess as to what the original design could have been? $6500

I cannot find my copy of Kanter's old paperback on designs, but I recall a Kahlua (sp?) 31 that had a cabin. I think a few were built with an open deck.

If I had to guess (and I'd probably be wrong), a re-working of a CSK design. It has a certain Sailcraft height and narrowness of beam, but the hulls aren't right for that.

Ask Derek. He'll swear it's 100%

I believe you are correct.

I somehow ended up with two copies of his book, if I remember, I'll check when I get home. (Have to go to a "boat-warming party" for some friends who are relaunching their Formosa after a multi-year total refit, so there's a very good chance I might not remember.)
