It was imported new by Malcolm Cole in about '89, who by performing a less than text book start procedure in Poole in '97 in it, cost TD and I the National championship for that year.

burty ive pmd you.

When Malcolm Cole owned it it was always kept inside and had a matching trailer and Ford Lariot to tow it. It was completely re-rigged by Pete Downey about 5 or 6 years ago. Was totally and utterly immaculate as Malcolm was a perfectionist. Couldn't comment now ...

I was always amazed at Malcolms apparent disregard for the laws of physics.
On numerous occasions I witnessed the classic boy-racer trick of giving the motors a jolly good 'Rev' followed instantaneously by the switching off of the ignition by him on his Aronow.

Strangely, he appeared to be regularly burdened by sticking valves (read 'rusted' stems/guides/bores) and the constant subsequent repairs needed.

Surely as an owner of a Dyno house, he, of all people should have known the implications of such a move with motors in whichhe had installed hot cams.

JamesM · 08-03-2006, 08:17 PM

How does owning a house full of dynosaur stuff mean you would know about whats good and bad for an engine?

I believe he enjoyed fiddling!

Have never seen another in this legnth ..I wonder how many were made.. Is that pounds or euros or are they the same? Anyone have an idea what it would cost to get to US

Jon Fuller · 12-03-2006, 03:30 PM

Pantera1, welcome to Boatmad.

The Aronow 32 is priced in £ Sterling, so about US $42,500 at current exchange rates.

I would guess at no more than US$5000 to ship to the US, but don't know about US import duty, or Tax.

pantera1 · 12-03-2006, 04:11 PM

Thanks for the welcome Jon ..thats about what I figured for exchange, seems reasonable ..sounds like that boat was real clean, at least at one point. Ive seen a few magic 34's (sorcerer) i think they are called and they are usualy 75000+ US
We love that video flying by the cruiser
