Great example of a great design. I remember back in the 1970s when tris were real popular I always like Norm Cross designs. Would be nice to know the price.

@@DennisMacdonald-r7d the planned sale didn’t go trough because of unexpected health problems of the intended buyer, so yes, Mindelo is still for sale. We will arrive in Bundaberg within the next two weeks. You can write me on niklaus.wildisen@gmail.com
Kind of strange to buy that ship in such an expensive area then take it to a place where you will lose money on it. Unfortunate you guys couldn’t go full time. Good luck!
Why would you buy a boat from California and almost straight away have it up for sale again...what's wrong with it? and then try and off load it in Australia and try and get back more than what you paid for it 2 years earlier? strange indeed and I would be very wary of this one, something must be wrong with it!! why is there blue paint over spray all over the motor and the hull to try and make it look new or at least better when it is clearly a very old motor that probably needs replacing!
@@TheCominghome we bought the boat to discover the South Pacific islands, since our budget was limited we didn’t manage to take more than two years off work. That we would sell her after that period was clear from the beginning on. The motor was painted new in 2021 when a overhaul was done, I don’t understand how that should be something bad, Perkins engine are built to last much longer then modern engines when taken care of. I don’t know what should be a better proof of seaworthiness than crossing the Pacific, it’s not my first ocean crossing and I wouldn’t put the life of my crew and myself in risk sailing a boat that is not ready to face the worst conditions.
I owned a Cross 42 back in the eighties. They are wonderful cruising boats. Whomever buys this will soon realize how great this design was/is.
Some lucky person is going to get a beautiful cruising home.
