Kalik 40 Sailboat (Gary Mull) Owners & Info

[SV Odysseus]

HI,


I am in the market looking for a new boat and I have came across a Kalik 40 sailboat for sale in my region and am looking for information and owners. As I have noticed that other threads have also found that there is very little info online on these sailboats. I have found the saildata page of course as well but what I am looking for is peoples sailing experience with them, in particular offshore and ocean passages. It seems that these boats are from NZ originally and there a several in my region and I have found they can be found all over the world so obviously they have made such sails and passages. I am looking mainly for actual knowledge of both sailing capabilities in these areas as well as build construction as it seems they are prone to soft decks and the one I am looking at has some decking issues but wont know the true extent till I view th boat today, but they sound very repairable from our conversation. Any info would help.
