Rig for sale

September 8th, 2009 by admin Leave a reply »

Kudu’s rig is for sale.

Apart from the gooseneck, which is an easy repair, it’s in good condition. The only reason I’m selling it is because I shall be getting a more substantial rig over the winter in preparation for the next adventure of Kudu.

The mast is, give or take an inch or two, 23 feet, and was on a tabernacle. The rig is currently without a boom, but I might be able to get that back.

Aside from that, it comes with all the rigging, lights etc, and plastimo roller furling on the forestay.

Open to offers.

    Did you contact Ron regarding your mail-sail and boom?

    He emailed me this very morning (8 Sept @ 11:41) saying that he has washed down the sail and boom in fresh water and it is now hanging up and drying in his barn?

    Best regards David

    The Boom and sails are in good storage whenever they are required. If needed (if it makes a sale easier for you) I could arrange photos or viewings (though they are in Aberdeen) for any prospective buyers.
    I am back in Norway at the moment but wife is in UK, so no trouble to arrange anything.
    Hurry up with part 16 of the videos – Norwegian TV is dire and it is blowing a gale outside.

    Time for a junk rig – a la Ming Ming??

    The gooseneck and boom look identical to those on a Pandora I used to own. The main reason that I sold it was because the rig seemed too fragile for heavy weather. I’m sure you will feel more at ease with a more robust replacement.

  5. This is not a bad idea…
