| Dulcibella update. G'day all my fellow Endeavorites ,Dullicbella is now back in the water ,in Currenbeen creek at the moment, soon to relocate back to Callala bay . Funny how a preposed 6 weeks on the hard can blow out to 9 months , Mr cope,s words kept ringing in my ears , time and money are my devil , wow" i think the man must be a clairvoint or maybe he,s just done it all before . Well the old girl looks a treat as she sits at her mooring , I removed the old paint off the deak with a grit blasting man , the deck has been reflow coated , rebuilt the motor(rings bearings,and pistons) and its purring like a ***** cat , new rigging , thanks to Paul Minter ,built a pantry and new chart table for inside ,but still alot more timber work to be done ,new water tank and bilge pumps , painted and scrubed welded and cut , refabricated and fitted , Glassed and sanded ,sanded and glassed then banddaged and bandaided , went through dozens of masks and cut flow coat out of my hair , jamed myself up into places inside that an old feller shoudn't , stopped all the deck leaks , and made all the winches work , all in all i had a great time , and now we are going to have a summer on the water once again . It's great to take on a project boat and this is the fourth one i have done , but i think it will be quite a while before there will be a fifth Cheers Taunto |

Hi Tony, Can't wait to have a look at her. Paul said he had to move, you were on the way. The rumours are that she looks great.

Hope to see youall at the Nationals on Botany Bay in January. There is another Mark 2 E30 which has been posted for sale this week. She lies in Townsville and looks like a well set-up cruiser. They are arsking just below $60K. I believe she was up for sale a year or two ago.

A correction to the previous posting, tld. E30 mark 2 posted this week for sale is listed at $45K and the other Mark 2, the Caroline is lited at $59,950.
Colin's comment that it is now a buyers market seems to be correct as boats appear to be very slow selling.

Last Sunday I was required to do my yearly penence and accompany SHEWHOMUSTBEOBEYED on her annual Work Harbour Cruise around the Harbour. Silly really because we are out there at least twice a week racing. The good thing about this cruise is that I get lots of free eats and drinks as well as to check out the state of Endeavour yachts.
Not much to report with the exception that the E30, Hollywood was sighted on a mooring in the bay at Luna Park. She is still all white, needs a scrub and has some cungie at the waterline. She has too much parrafinalia in the form of stainless davits on the stern and is most likely a cruiser these days.

Tonights twilighjt race at Manly saw somew really foul weather with rain, squawls. We started in a drifter and ught up to the limit boats only to have the big boys run us down on the run. We do not know where we finished as it was dark, windy and beginning to rain.
After we got back on our mooring we foukd that our main hand pump was clogged. Andy and Rod spent hours playing with it untill they got it working again. They never figured out what was wrong with it.
Racing again in Sunday in the dreaded Islands Race to Drummoyne and back again.

Hi guys, been a while since I've been in contact. Just reading this forum it looks like Copie is the local Broker. I must admit I have missed racing & cruising "Splinter". I've been tied up with my young bloke playing Golf. I seem to be away with him so much. He enjoys it so I will foster him.
The latest Goss, Copie you will love this, "Spinter" is on the market and I am serious this time. Would love her to fall into an Endeavourer's hand and race her as she should be. If somebody wants to kick Copies backside "Splinter" is available for the Nationals. All she need is new filters and clean her bum and a polish. She won the best Presented Endeavour at the 2005 Regatta. So get a good crew and you must have a blond or 2 and have a real go at the Nationals.
All sails, etc still in really good condition, 21 hp Nanni. I paid 30k and have spent in excess of 50k on her that I know off. Thank god my shsbob does not read this forum.
Currently sitting in Gunnamatta Bay on a mooring and that could be arranged.
If you want any further details before I advertise her 0429 904523
or kevin@swadling.com or for any recommendation speak to our friendly broker "copie" |

Hi there Kevin,
Have two yacht photos on the wall at work, the Hagar and the Splinter. Yes she is a really original good racing E30. I have often pondered the thought of buying the Splinter and racing her against the Hagar at North Harbour. Same problems, no mooring and no crew. Could poach a crew member or two off Hagar but the mooring problem in North Harbour is always there.
So what are you asking for the Splinter?
Would love to have someone in the association racing with us after Christmas at the Nationals.

For anyone contemplating a step-up to an E30, the Splinter would be the best buy. Kevin has spent a lot of money setting up the Splinter to race off-shore. She had all the safety gear as well as a good set of sails. She also has a powerful engine and good electronics with satellite navigation and self steering which is linked to the Navman navigation software.
Like all the E30's she is built like the proverbial out-house and the hull will outlast most of us.
The Splinter is a genuine Endeavour and has had few modifications to the hull and interior.

Was just surfing my favorite saved sites to find that the E30 Serindipity is now listed as being "Sold".
She was listed at $24.990.00 and looked OK. While I've been threatening to go out and give her the once over, I'd never got around to doing it.
So has anyone know who the new owner is?

Have been in contact with Kevin Swadling who reports that he has a potential buyer for his E30, Splinter. I have been very tempted to make him an offer for myself, but would not be able to do all the "other" sailing which I have pencilled in for this winter and the old problem of no mooring space which I could afford still remains and a ten to fifteen year waiting list with the Maritime Moorings at North Harbour.
This winter have put up my hand to sail aboard the Sekie again on Wednesday afternoons as well as the short winter series on Sundays with Old Pete aboard a Jarken 42, the Marloo.
Chris.

There is an E27 for sale up at Lake Macquarie and it looks like the one which Adrian posted about a year or two ago. The brief is:
"In excellent condition with new mast and rigging in 2009. Very good main plus #2 & #3 genoas and a 8hp Evinrude. Anti-fouled Jan 2011. Enclosed head with manual toilet, 2 burner gas stove. dinette and berths for 6 and 27meg radio."
This boat does not have a diesel engine, but apparently has an outboard well like those fitted in the E24's & E26's. All the big Endeavors which I've looked at have all had internal shaft diesels.
While the boat looks really nice it would also mean that she could be much lighter than other E27's, which we know are much lighter than our E30 heavyweight.

For some time now I've been contemplating going it alone and purchasing my own yacht, and specifically an E30 mark 1. Last week I was surfing though boat web-sites and found a boat almost identical to the Hagar which was listed for sale in Brisbane. And so I eventually contacted the broker and he gave me a lot of information about the boat, the "Amnesia".
The problems are always the same for me and the primary one is to moor her in or near to North Harbour. There is a ten to twenty year waiting list in North Harbour and so to get a mooring you either have to pay $399.00 per month or $4,300.00 per year. Vs. a Maritime mooring priced at arounf $450.00 per year. And of course you have to add on the prices for: Waterways Registation, Insurance, Club and Race Fees, other Club Race Fees, Annual Slipping and of course all the general maintenence for boat, engine and sails etc.
I had a price in mind to spend and was surprized to find that I was spot on with the negotiable price on the money and well below what they are asking. It just goes to show how much the second hand boat market has slumped.
Here is the Brisbane Web-site. I have the negotiable price and a wod of pictures if anyone is seriously interested. You can contact me on 0416 108639.

| G'day Chris I just read your posting regards going it alone , i am amazed that the answer has not appeared to you as it has to so many other Sydneysiders , you sell up and move to the beautiful Jervis Bay area, The advantage's are endless , plenty of other Endeavour owners , a mooring in Callala Bay costs about $300 a year , Good raceing on week ends , housing is cheep compared to sydney and you would have the only e30 here , which would mean we would nearly have a full hand . There is a down side to sailing J.B. of couse sometimes, if you are sailing on a week day, you will have to share the whole bay with another yacht and you know how anoying that can be . Cheers my friend its just a thought. Taunto . |

Hi there Taunto,
Yes it would be lovely to sail on your Bay. But not for a few years yet as there are too many appendages at home at this time. Five kids now and I'm about to become a grandfather.
This is the old say, "there's no place like home". And Sydney Harbour and more specifically, North Harbour is home.

| Botany Bay is your answer. Close to the city for convenience, the bay all to ourselves and moorings at a fraction of the cost of Sydney, and the serenity. Lots of serenity. |

What, that shallow kero smelling place with it's mini tornados driven by landing junbo jets and a southern shore which is as shallow as and a starter and crew who have not a clue?
No thank you, it is much nicer on Sydney Harbour, but the best place to race is Lake McQuarie. I would like to sail out my days up there thank you. Lots of space and no ferries or jets. Fairly good depth and no cliffs or skyscrapers and great breezes. And, the further north you go the warmer it gets.
Chris.

Hellooo Erric,
Are you out there? Rod was asking if you still had the old sailing gear which you wished to offload? He was interested in the wooden blocks and any other old apendages that you wished to part with?
