      a
      nd the more I look at her and read about her the better I like her myself, seems very nicely priced for what she has in and on her.

        Subject to her being sound that would have to be great value Greg.

              Greg also posted privately about that boat , and I gave him a detailed response.
              But basically , that boat was on the market when I first started looking , maybe 6 years or more ago.
              She was either taken off the market , or sold , but came back on the market maybe 2 years ago.
              If you look on the thread I have put up on the Aussie WBF , you will see I mentioned her ages back.
              Twice , at least.
              I had intended checking her out when I went down to Tassie , but suddenly she was off the market , I assumed she had been sold.
              I contacted the 3 boat brokers , telling them I was coming down , and I was in the market for a 28-30 ft cray boat.
              The only broker that bothered to reply was BB of T , to tell me that they had a deceased estate coming up , a 30 footer , but that was all they could tell me at that stage.
              I asked them if it had been advertised with another broker , they assured me it hadn't.
              So , I went down , and checked out a few boats advertised privately , I checked out the boats all along the east coast and south , but got no advise from BB of T , till I got home.
              Then they told me about her .
              I've been following her for years , checking to see if she is still for sale , and when I've gone down there hoping to see her , they stuffed me around.
              I wasn't happy , and told them so !.
              But it was a very enlightening trip , and I made some very good contacts.
              The biggest disappointment was that as I was coming in to LST , Kamada come on the market again.
              If I had known , I would have bought her.
              I didn't find out for a couple of days that she was on the market , by which time she had gone.
              I saw a couple more Bernard Wilson boats , I would love to get a Kamada , or one of her sister ships.I saw one being prepared for new owners in Triabunna .
              Ya never know , I have a very good man on the lookout.
              This boat for sale , bloody hell , they knew I was coming down , surely they could have organised me to try her out !.
              The previous broker told me she is NOT a motorsailer . Without trying her , I'm wondering if that is just a matter of definition , or interpretation.
              There are a couple of other possibilities too , that could develop further.
              Regards Rob J.

                  I can't seem to get the image URL when using this IPAD to post a photo directly, but here's a link to Kamada:

                    Re: Oz Connection

                    Yes , she is quite a beamy boat Greg.
                    When I was interested in her before , I had a long talk with the builder Kevin Argent , and the owner at that time , and AD actually went over her for me , and gave her the thumbs up.
                    But Leyla baulked at spending $80,000 on my first up boat.
                    She had a point , but the reality is , by the time I had finished doing up HS , I wasn't much shy of that anyway.
                    I have a few photos of Kamada , from when she was for sale a couple of years ago , on my stupid site.
                    Apparently , if she had a fault , it's that she was slow , being so beamy.
                    But that is ok with me , I'm in no hurry.

                          Rick , no I hadn't seen that one.
                          It looks like someone has spent a hell of a lot of time on that boat , and I've gone over the photos a lot , but I can't get enthused , I'm sorry.
                          I'm looking for a flat deck if possible , and a wheelhouse , something like Bernard Wilsons own boat would be perfect !.
                          Its a time and motion study , and you should be able to go all around the boat with your eyes closed.
                          But thanks for posting Rick , she looks interesting , but not for me.
                          Regards Rob J.
