. . . . Not sure how to send a PM here...?

Hi Phil, welcome to the forum . .

Previously you needed to rack up 5 posts to enable the PM system, this could be still the case, in the forum buttons it's now called ‘‘Conversation’’.

I'll ask the Moderator to answer this one.

Good luck

That's correct. The Conversation option will appear the day after your post count reaches a minimum number of posts on the main forums. Then when you click on a member's name you'll see an option to "Start a Conversation."

Welcome to the forum.

Apparently the original 32' Crowther Shockwave, named, Shockwave, for sale in Oz. Looks reasonable.

Hey Sabahcat! I bought Excess last year and sailed her to Darwin. Do you have any other info on the boat?

Crowther 33' - think it might be a Buccaneer 33' - can someone (who knows...) comment on this?

For sale in Napa Valley, needing a major refurb, but cheap enough to allow for that.

You could look Terry Travers up, he always seemed to be helpful and knowledgeable. I think he's on facebook. I'd love to hear an account of your Hobart to Darwin trip. Cheers.

Darn good question, just asked them on Facebook. The platform was looking amazing.

Crowther 33' Kraken on Lake Macquarie. Looks like a project, but cheap enough...

This was Peter Johnstone's (the boats owner) reply:

She’s assembled here in Charleston. Most new parts are here. Will complete her as time permits.

So I'm glad to report we should see this beautiful racing trimaran back on the water some time in the not too distant future.

The story of Biscuits Cantreau 3 (there were 4 Biscuits Cantreau but the N°3 launched in 1988 is the most famous), in case not yet posted in this thread :
