WA Investigators - A few interesting facts
Posted: Sun Mar 04, 2018 1:56 pm
I've managed to glean a few interestings facts about the Investigators that were built in West Australia.
They were being built in WA around 1977.
They were of the one hinge forward hatch design.
They were manufactured by a company called Wesyacht, located in Perth.
A shorter mast was fitted.
WA Investigators weren't fitted with a drop down centre-board.
It would be good if our WA owners could verify or add to the list of differences. I know of four WA boats, but there are probably more than that.
Here is picture of "Spirit of Christie" when Richard Tolley owned it. You can see that there is no provision for the centreboard rope. Richard said that there was no sign of a centreboard ever having been fitted to the boat.
