    I have a 1920 C&N tender 10' LOA. Bought her in Petworth W. Sussex and shipped her across the pond. Have any idea where I might advertise such a jewel?

    Hi Phil just found your video it's great. Just a question, I have done a lot of work on my boat at Yamba marina (my boat is at Iluka on a mooring) Why didn't you do the re-rigging at Yamba with Scooter? Look forward to more videos. Thanks for posting.

    • @oldtimerman59

      Sailing SV Mareki , good question..After sailing down from Yamba to Coffs I discovered a siezed Jib pully at the top of the mast as I needed to remove the mast to fix it I decided to get it re rigged at the same time with Coffs Harbour rigger Pierre Gal , he did a great job. Cheers Phil

    Congratulations on getting a super boat! Just found your site, I have a N32 1977 love the boat! The only problem with them is not lots of room. I subscribed you should check out mine! What engine do you have?

    • @oldtimerman59
      @oldtimerman59  6 лет назад +1

      yes agree, the Nicholson 32 are a brilliant heavy weather sea going boat, one of the best designs ever made , i find i have full head room (6ft) and enough room for 2 people on a voyage , i love mine. its got a 30hp Yanmar., cheers Phil

    Nice boat and looks like the start of a beautiful relationship for you both! Just subscribed and hoping to pick up some tips as a Nich 32 is on my shortlist for a round Aus trip in 2022. I’m curious: what did the re-rig set you back? Thanks!

    • @oldtimerman59
      @oldtimerman59  4 года назад

      Thanks Darren , the N32's are great boats , the deep keel is great in a rough swell

    Hi Phil, my partner and I are looking to buy our first boat after crewing in other boats the last two seasons in Batemans Bay/Sydney/Gosford areas. If you don’t mind, can you tell me what you paid for your? And would you recommend any specific issues to look out for when buying? Cheers KJ

    • @oldtimerman59
      @oldtimerman59  5 лет назад +1

      Hi Kay Jay , Id recomend getting a marine survey done before purchase, id go for a full keel yacht for safety in rough seas. A boat I could stand up in was important for me personally. Spend as much as you can, on the smallest boat you are comfortable with. Its a buyers market so take your time and buy right from someone who maintained their boat . Good luck and if you feel like it let me know how you go , best wishes Phil

      Sailing VIO Fastest reply ever and good to hear. I am half way through The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz, excellent book, she has quite a few youtube video's about the low fat high carb diet, the money and politics behind it and the terrible results. On the more relevant subject of sailing we had a clinker built Nordic Folkboat when I was a kid, so beautiful, same long keel design as yours

    Sailing Vio,
    Great to see your video. I own a 1969 Nic 32, based in the UK. Wonderful yachts!
    Are you aware of two Nic 32 groups:
    1. The Nicholson 32 Owners Association, see www.nicholson32.org
    and
    2. The Facebook group "Nicholson 32 Owners" ?
    Cheers,
    Alan Thorne
