Thanks Bruce,
But even if i was willing to shell out AU$100+ for a book which may or
may not have this boat in it, I think the boat would most likely be
sold by the time the book arrived.

Frankly these e-bay boats aren't usually a good deal. there was a
discussion in the group about a boat listed as being in Singapore. I
could tell from the photo what marina it had been in and the next time
I was in Singapore I visited the marina (where the boat was supposed
to be) and it was not there. I asked the Dock Master about the boat
and from his remarks the boat hadn't even been in the marina for a
year or more.

Hi all,
hoping someone can identify this 30 foot van der stadt for me and any
information available on it?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tem=3202450731...

Ive looked around on the net, but could find no information except,
maybe that its a dogger? *or a vita? *doesnt look like a pioneer. *I
have contacted the seller looking for more info, but no replies. *It
looks like a ply boat, and probably with a drop keel from the look of
the pictures?

Would welcome any thoughts on this one, Its in adelaide in australia,
if i do buy Id need to sail it to melbourne and not sure if this
vessel is a blue water capable boat or not. *Would have preferred
something with a 3/4 keel rather than a fin keeler, but seems more
people are doing blue water sailing with fin keels thesedays?

Thanks!

Shaun
