Well I've done it Finally purchased a yacht after two years of looking, being gazumpted three time looked at just about every model from Sydney to Lake Macquarie.
Its a 1991 Northshore 38 named Charm, currently tied up at princes st Marina Newport but will be going to her new mooring at Balmain Marina on Saturday morning.http://www.boatsales.com.au/boats-for-sale/boatdetails.aspx?seot=1&R=13421564&silo=-1&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32%7c1%7c%7cpCar_Price_Decimal%7c1%7c%7cpCar_Make_String%7c0%7c%7cpCar_Model_String%7c0&Cr=&trecs=16&__N=1456%20285%204294911070%204294906193
I carry 60 mtrs I geuss it depends what you plan to do with your yacht.. On the rare occasion when cruising I have had to anchor in 20mtrs of water and obvosily that's just 3:1 scope. I have deployed 60 mtrs in 5 mtrs water in 45knts and only just dragged....
I would think maybe they like to keep the bow light in the NS hence the short anchor chain.
Anyway congratulations looks like a nice boat and the spray dogger will be a blessing!
Howdy Neighbour,
She looks like a really nice yacht. Our NS370 is just over the road at Birkenhead. There's a few NS's around the immediate area with another NS370 recently moving down from Pittwater.
No doubt see you out and about.
very neat looking, bet it was worth the wait in the end.
now for some good sailing
A very very nice looking boat and good buying at the advertised price let alone any discount. BZ (Well done in Navy speak)
I'd like to be a fly on the wall the first time the sea breeze sneaks up on you and your hit with a 20-25kt gust with all the canvas spread. I'm sure the boat can handle it but it is going to make good theatre.
I'll see you on Friday to have a look at her and get out for a sail on Morning Bird.
Well done. Great buy at that price. Prices of boats have dropped significantly over the last year or so.
keithw...Charm is a Pearl , congratulations
but now you don't get away so easily, WE wont to see personal touch "personality"
we give you time, but don't forget a pic. before and after.
I give you example, this is after.
by the way MB...you keen to see all the canvas out and feel the sheer power ?
Had a look at Charm today prior to Keith and I going for a sail on MB.
Charm is an outstanding buy, a seriously good boat for the money. I am quite envious of what you can get for that much, but Keith did bargain well and smartly to get it for the price he paid.
Took MB for a run to air the sails. Hit 7.4kts and spent a fair bit of time over 7kts.
Good day all round.
