Today I came across an Endeavour 24 I owned from about 1977 to 1980 and made myself known to the new owners. She's still sailing with the same mainsail and genoa. The Endeavours are truly remarkable yachts. It's over 30 years since we parted company. Of course I have owned other Endeavours and other yachts since at some expense. Currently you can find me sailing my Young 88 "Forever Young" on Lake Macquarie.
Good Luck to all those sailing in this years championships at Botany Bay.

Nice to hear from you Adrian and hope that you and your crew are doing well. The Hagar will be campaigning yet again in 2011 at Botany Bay which brings us to our sixth Nationals in this boat. Rod, myself and our crew still enjoy racing in our E30 and are really kept honest by the E24 Dumeresqu at North Harbour. If Rod steers us to victory this time around it will be a tally of eight national title wins to Rod.
Good sailing, Chris. |

| I purchased my E24 5 years ago and have never looked back. Cheapest and best way to own a yacht and go sailing. Ive had so much fun that im now looking for an E30. The crew of Tarni 2 at BBYC will be throwing down the gauntlet to all of the other E24's as the crew who is having the most fun. The challenge is on ! Looking forward to seeing you all at BBYC. |

Hi there John Robert,
If you are serious about a racing E30 may I suggest that you contact the owner of the Splinter who has been talking about selling his Mark 1 E30. It is an original E30 and set up to race but may need some new rags.
Otherwise there are a few Mark 2's on the Boat-point web-site fore sale and if you have the cash the Caroline in Hobart is the best. See you at the Nationals.
Chris. |

many thanks Chris. Ill be taking a look at E30's next week at the nationals. Ive seen a couple of E30's for sale at Pittwater. Might check them out. Hard to find teme with wheel steering, but if they are as good as my 24, I know I'll have fun.
Tarni 2 crew are ready for the nationals. Colin Cole has made us promise to keep our pants on when competing. Back in the club house is another matter ! |

| Hi Go Flow, I saw from one of your previous posts you had an E19, do you still have her ? I am at Rathmines and have just bought the E19 that was on Ebay at the end of last year - Sea Eagle. Shes currently on Pittwater and I'm waiting on the Assoc Trailer to bring her up. She will soon reside just off Rathmines Park. do you have any tips about putting an E19 on the trailer ? Cheers |

Hi Manto, go to the home page of EYAA and hit the gallery button, you will see a folder of photos labeled Trailer. Everything you need to know plus some shots of a Toyota Tarago that didn't know what to do.
Talk to david and Pat, they will be experts at the trailer when you pick it up from them. |

Hi Manto,
I have never had an E19, but they are essentially a smaller version of the E24.
