INVESTIGATOR 563

Hi Sam,

We are also in Perth and have "Drifter" a WA version of the Investigator. We have had Drifter for a year now, restored it and have done several sails on the river, Busselton, Walpole, Jurien Bay and Rockingham area. Does yours have a front hatch and centre board?

Thanks David and Geoff. Fritz (my husband ...the deckhand) does most if the fixing up and I (Louren) do the research, fiddly bits, cleaning of stainless steel and skippering and navigation. We have been stalking the forum for a while. Nice to see all the different Investigators. I wish I can find ou...

Hi, A small introduction, thanks for having us on the forum. We bought our Investigator Drifter in April this year. Lockdown happened and we decided to paint the hull....that ended up with us painting the whole boat and fixing everything. She is looking pretty good and we took her for her first sail...
