    There was a bloke in Toowoomba I think that ended up with some molds from Beach marine, he had the PC 9/10/Targa32 set & also the "Pacific Cruiser 44" that he built a charter power cat from, think it was for sale in the Whitsundays. Jeff.

    Beam size and mast size

    My hardtop is supported by 4 SS posts and the rear is 200mm solid glass attacjhed to the cabin top and forward 2 supports also glassed in so at the moment their is not much lateral strength
    I just measured my cross beam and it is 8inches by 5.4 wall thickness with a dolphin stricker going 2 foot down to support the mast
    The mast is a Sparcraft section 13mtrs by 3/16 and is rotating.I have been waiting 10 days for Sparcraft to get back to me to see if they have a extrusion the same profile to extend mine to give me a bigger main.
    I took the mast down once by hand and it was bloody heavy taking 6 guys to carry it.
    Basicly I am hoping in 1985 they overbuilt this boat for survey and with new technology I can make the most of it.
    The rigging is 6 years old and 10 mm ss

    Hi tony
    I also have a crowther 10 sports cruiser, on our delivery trip last year we stopped at maggie and tied up next to your boat, I have some photos somewhere, I'd love to talk about our boats, I've had some issues with mine.
