Pictures are a problem, there are about sixty something of them. I will start down loading them to you Sasha and you can sort out the sheep from the goats. There are a lot of similar shots and I would only past the best. I can only process them at my office and it may be weeks until I could find the time.
With regards to accessing the after double berth, I may have made a mistake. Access to the aft cabin is via the after hatch as well as along the starboard side quarter berth from the main cabin. The galley is also located on the starboard side, while the WC, bench table & chairs & ice box are along the port side.

Hullo Sasha,
Hope you recieved all the photos which we sent to you this morning of the Peagaus. There were ten batches of six photos each and I did not send them all! You only got the best and the most pertinent.
The thing which really caught my attention about this boat was the volume below decks. She is a lot higher out of the water and hence all the space. If you raised our decks by about a foot it might be similar. The area below the cockpit shell was big and looked like a waste of space. all that there seemed to be was the engine and the steering gear. It was accessed from the aft cabin. When you step down the lader into the Hagar there are about four short steps, but this boat had five and they were deep treds.
The cockpit is noticeably high up, which would be good & very dry for cruising.
As I mentioned, Rod was very taken by her, however his SWMBD'd would have been most unpleasant if we had come home as fleet owners!

Hi All 27+ Sailors,
I heard tonight that a former E26 LMYC sailor has acquired an E30 and will be attending the championships at Botany Bay. He was the previous owner of Harbinger. He took over the E30 last week so hasn't had much time to prepare.

That is very interesting news Adrian. We look forward to some more competition. Do you have the Boat & or owners name by any chance? The only E30 which I know of for sale in Sydney is the yellow coloured Walrus from Middle Harbour, but I'm sure there are others about. Just like the E32 Pegasus which popped up a week ago. And what news of Andos E30? It sounds like he is sailing the E27 again this series & there was talk of a shell of an E30 on the central coast which was just sitting on an industrial lot.

At the Endeavour Nationals on Friday (or was it Saturday?)morning we were briefly visited by the New E30 owner of the "Mystique". We were in a rush to get out onto the water & I do not remember his name. I think he is the gent that Adrian mentioned in a previous posting. He stated that the boat had been in a berth for over 10 years unused and was badly neglected. The keel was full of lead and a mixture of oil & water. He said that he had cleaned her out, replaced all the engine pipes and she started & ran well. He still has a long way to go, but is very keen.
If anyone knows of any other E30s' which are unused mooring minders or just in some shed, please contact me.

Hi all,
back from vacation this morning "Well what a break" no words could discribe it, Lake Conjola is the most gorgeos bit of water. Fished twice a day, swam, water skied with my 11 year old, socialise and day trips - Mogo Zoo, if you haven't been there "GO" White Lions, Snow Leopards and other endangered species. So 4 weeks just not long enough. OH !!
On the Endeavour front, I run into a mate in Ulladulla who told me he had the mould of an E30 and one of the boats was in the Ulladulla Harbour. So a quick trip to the harbour to see.
The Hull looks very similar but the Deck "No" could not get up close so after the tourist season is over I will get together with him to have a look.
This is a boat built out of the mould. The Hull looks similar, sweeped transom, bow layed out and sweeped back, lovely lines but the deck totally different so it could be a custom deck. Also, they have a taller rig on it.
My friend Steve has the mould (he is a Cabinetmaker)and will be building one next year. I think might start a bit of a chat when it starts.
My thoughs was that it could be the last mould and some how they have aquired it. I know the guy who got it and money is not a problem and now he has gone on to faster hulls and gave this mould away to my mate.
Also afer looking at some of Sashas photos it could be the '32 mould ?
Time will tell.
So to all Happy new year, so I didn't make it to the Nationals but I assure you I had more fun.
Catch up with you all shortly.
cheer,

Very interesting findings on the E30 mould Kevin. I was led to believe that all of the Endeavour moulds were burnt in a bushire after Reg had declined an offer to sell his Endeavour Yacht Company and that the moulds were being stored in a shed for safe keeping. It might possibly be a flop out mould made from an existing boat. Have seen that in the Skiffs where a WA sailor boat builder bought a skiff from the east coast and took a mould off her.
Would love to see the boat as well as the mouldings.
This mornings check of the BoatPoint Sales revealed only five Big Endeavours for sale and included two E32's. And one each of E30, E28 & E27.

The E28 which has popped up on the Boatpoint Site a few days ago, Moonlight Lady, has been forsale forever and therefore must have something wrong with her. She was on the Boatpoint list over two years ago when I first started looking at buying an Endeavour yacht. She looks very "worn".
Sasha, When will we see the photos of the E32 which I sent to you?

Having just updated my list of E30s' and discover that we now have information on the location, names and some ownership data on a total of 15 of the craft which includes the Mark 1 & 2's.
This still leaves outstanding 15 craft unaccounted for.
E30's where are youuuu.....????

Chris, I heard last night that there is another '30 in Port Hacking. I understand if was in Yowie Bay but has moved just recently. Will follow up with the boys off "Bojangles". I think they may get involved depending on their shifts.

Good one Kev, just keep talking with them. Rod & I were discussing the Big Boat event and Easter seems a pretty good time or even the June long weekend. Are you available & interested to do something. Rod also believes that we two might be the only boats who would do anything offshore and for the first time a regatta at say Pittwater might be the go. What are your thoughts?

Sorry Chris, I put my thoughts on the other topic "Your Ruddy Big Cup"
Yah, I got to sort my crew, we have a busy programme and we have a life outside Sailing.
If we can sort a time "Splinter" will be there. Would be nice to get 6 or 8 big boats there - could be a great raft up.
Has any of the '26 & '27 got Cat 4 so they could come outside & play.
cheers,

The Cat 4 thing is what worries me as well as the lack of experience. However we all have to start somewhere. While most E26 sailors are hesitant to go offshore there are few as mad as the Hagar crew who like to to deliveries at night. It's really fun sailing at night with all the phosperous and you can see the waves, well some of the time.
This is a good a place as any to ask the question,...
Who can sail under Cat 4?
John Swan & Ando seem to travel up and down the coast OK so they should be fine, it is just a hastle for some to get the bit of paper.

Hullo Kevin,
We think you may have made a typo error as your Endeavour 92 web link is to an E28 For Sale.

Bah!! You're all blind [:-banghead] the broker has the E28 listed as 28 meters length (91.86 feet).
Contrary to popular belief, it may be too much forum watching that causes blindness

Its OK Kevin I got it. I think some of these big boat boys are just afraid of being out gunned. (I wonder what size cannon she could carry?)

Just had a look at Chris' link, and it is "Hollywood" and I would think a Mark II, not being able to see much but the table seems to give it away.
It would seem they have added Wheel steering. A big plus - and the price is very good.
I would thing very good value and defininetly worth a look. To the 26 guy chasing the boat in Port Hacking. Save your money and check this out. A better buy and more fun.
