1. The Marketplace Forums can be useful for members who know one another well from forum discussions and offline communications and wish to post boatbuilding tools, drafting tools, molds and tooling, and other professional equipment for sale or trade. However, caution and good judgement should always be used. Especially when considering any business with anyone not already well known to you and trusted, due diligence must be used to confirm details and identity and be sure the transaction is safe before any money or property changes hands. Always use good judgement and perform due dilligence and follow these guidelines.

My little piece of peace

    Hi Downunder,
    Stanchions, rudder post and tubes were supplied by "Angler Fishing Rods" on the corner of Ada Street and Eveline Street, Orange Grove, Brisbane (near Archerfield / Coopers Plains)... They will do tapered but I prefer straight...

    The past week I have been dining on coconut crabs, lobsters, whole fish, shellfish, squid and all manner of fresh seafood all superbly prepared by a French culinary arts trained chef... The place shall remain secret for the present time...

    For 1.13 million I can put you in touch with the owners, who are reported to be selling where we stayed.... (my commission is the 30K ? - for my mast and sails :D)

    Cascades? is that efate (vila)? I do not like there now - far too touristy, (bulk tourism in "standard" 4 and 5 star western style hotels)...

    In the same part of the shed where my boat was built, Dougies dream is about to be launched, a 30ft powercat coming in near 2.5 tonnes.... and back to a half empty shed again... Last one is mine with carpet down at last...
