Looks like a nice original boat from an owner who does not know what she has!! I think it needs saving but not be me this time!! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120559623752#description |
stand by for ROBERT HARRIS!!!! |
How did Adur 8s stack up against the 7s? Whats the story? |
They were considered a failure, no where near as good as the mk7 but with a more modern rig who knows what they might do. |
I'm probably the only member who who owned and sailed both the Adur 7 and the 8. Both had Proctor 'C' section masts. They both also had fixed swept back spreaders and Ratsey sails. |
That's good to know. Can you remember the difference in hull design? (It's prob on the design guide ... but I'm interested as I have an old 7. |
The Adur 8 was rather more calypegic (More rounded fatter bigger.)Robert was not the only person to have his heart broken by the Adur 8 Royston Comport (A good sailor.)amongst others, had one too and he went on to have the Expectent designed too. |
AG - you may know this but any others please feel free to pitch in! |
Dougal, if anyone does it will be Patrick Pym, you have his co ordinates no doubt, if not PM me. |
Or another thought Hugh Welbourne pm if you need coordinates. |

did I read that right? £1550.... |
Another Adur 8 on e-bay. Seem to be a few of these about recently. Wonder if it will fetch as much as the last one?! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190397961950&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT |
In actual fact it is the same boat!! Back on e-bay so soon. Obviously got carried away when he bought it, or he/she was drunk! L know a few people who have bought things they don't remember the next day!! |
It is a re-list - last week went up to £560 but did not reach the reserve so gives you an idea of where to pitch a bid if you are in with any chance to win it. For a boat of that cost it would have been good to have had more pictures of decks, rig, sails |
Yes, but it sold a few weeks ago for £1550 or did they not go through with it given that it was a llot of money!! |
Whatever, anyone buying it would be advised to plead for a special handicap it was a truly slow boat, in Robert Harris's word "A DOG". |
looks like the same boat back on ebay... |
It is the same boat and if you go back a bit this boat was sold for £1500 about a week and a half ago but has been relisted for some reason by the original seller - not picked up or not paid for I guess. I'll not comment on the price tag ........ |
This boat keeps reappearing and selling for large amounts of money. What is the betting that the owner is trying to bid it up and keeps buying back himself? |
Well with ebay fees he'll be racking up the commission at those prices and it's not allowed under ebay rules. We'll give him the benefit of the doubt and hope it's genuine. |
