I don't know. Check the roll call on the "Where Be Ye" thread. Anyway I
happen to own two, so I can loan somebody else one

Boat I looked at the other day is. You need a prime mover and a wide
load permit, but it has its own trailer and is therefore trailerable.
39' LOD, 12' beam, 4'6" draft.

Big trailer, I bet. Could you launch that at a local ramp?

The current owner does but the ramp's 400m from his place, uses a big
tractor to tow the trailer.

Seriously what kind of boat? I thought you had too much fun playing with
OPBs.

John Pugh Morning Mist 2 modified a little. Stern cabin centre cockpit
cutter rigged sloop with hard dodger - gets cold & rough down here.
Arguably closer to a motor-sailer than a sailboat with an aux. Just
looking ATM; the current owner built it but has got to the point where
his health isn't up to keeping it. It's been out of the water the last
3 years. No modern electronics etc which is a plus; nothing to go
wrong.

Actually I'd appreciate any info people have on this design; can't find
any web sites tho there have been quite a few John Pugh designs built.
There are a couple for sale on Boatpoint but in Qld. Long way from
home.

I do have fun playing with OPB but once I finish building my house I'll
have more discretionary time and after the bad fall I had this year,
I'm reconsidering some of my priorities. If I can pass my annual
fitness exam I'll had off southwest of Heard Is in December, loop down
to the continent and get back to Hobart in March. After that, who
knows.
