I have recently repurchased an Idle Along called Physce II from Christchurch. It is a boat that I previously owned in the early to mid nineties. She is a 73 year old veteran and has been sailed reasonably regularly in the 14 years or so since I raced it on the Estuary down in Christchurch. I sold to an old friend who did a marvelous job of restoring her after she started to pull apart with the pressure of regular racing. I purchased a ply IA called Harlequin and raced that for many years before selling her onto the West Coast. In any event can you send me registration details for the IA Association and can you let me know if there is anyone with a 470 jib for sale

 

Many thanks

Hi Bruce

Sorry for the delay in reply. Gary is hunting out some information
about your boat but hasn't laid his hands on it yet.
Will get back to you when we can.

I am not aware of anyone with old 470 jibs available at present but
will get back to you when I can.

Regards, Keith

Hi Bruce

My apologies for not responding properly to your email from last year.
For some reason, I forgot to add your email to my membership list - I must have got busy and lost my usual routine.

 You said that you bought your boat from Christchurch - is it the blue IA  that was advertised on TradeMe last year? - advert said "Classic Idle Along yacht. Built in 1938.  Well maintained and sailed in classic races. Comes complete with sails including spinnaker. Frame is Kauri. "

I will add Psyche and Harlequin to the IA register - if you have a sail number (and a province) for them that would help.

You may be aware that there is a boat that sailed in the first revival Moffat Cup in Auckland called Psyche III. Gary can tell you more about that.

We have had a Bruce Kenyon on our books for quite a while - listed as living in Linwood, Christchurch with a boat called Bone Idle - is that you? 

Hopefully we will make a decision about the IA race soon - sorry it will be in Auckland though - maybe not quite as convenient for you as Taupo would have been.

Regards, Keith
