SOLD: 'Veterata' A classic MG design!   SOLD

 

  

 bought 'Veterata' ten years ago and found water had leaked between the double diagonal mahogany planks deteriorating the timber to a meter above the water line. I spent 5 years replacing the bad timber with cedar using epoxy adhesive. She still needs a lot of work doing to her and really requires somebody with better carpentry skills than me.

As a result I have lost some interest in her but realize she is worth very little commercial value at present. She is a really pretty vessel and probably the last of her design so I am loath to scrap her and have been paying £600 a year storage charges for the last year and a half in the hope that Peter of Wooden Ships would be able to find some interest.

Do you think you can help?

She is ashore at Polbathic, Cornwall.Click to go to her website

 FOR SALE:  ???  A GH in Hawaii.........   SOLD

Dear Sir,I would like to offer to your Golden Hind enthusiasts an opportunity that I believe would benefit my boat.  I have owned a 1967 Golden Hind for about six years and am slowly seeing it go into a state of neglect.  I have lost interest in cruising and would much rather have a smaller boat for whipping around the island and not going long distances as I originally intended.  The boat has been for sale, but no one is interested in wooden boats and the only people who will take it are definitely the type that would just let it sink.  I like this boat and have a great fondness for it.  I have not invested very much in it and am not interested in making money on it. 

I feel a great obligation to prolong its life.  It is very well equipped and does not appear to need a lot of work.  Most of the neglect has been cosmetic, though I do see some potential problems if they are not addressed soon.  The boat is moored at a public marina located next to a repair yard.  If there is anyone interested in obtaining this boat, you should be prepared to spend between $5k and $10k to get it into ship shape.

I am prepared to let it go for free, but I would prefer to get enough funds in exchange to buy a 17' boat on a trailer that I saw being sold for $2,500 (I can probably get it for less).  Who ever is interested, I will send as much information as I can to allow you to make an informed decision.  I realize that boats are always a risky investment -even if they are free - but I do feel this is still a solid boat and is in need of a caring home.   Aloha

Update August 06.  David would like to donate this GH 31 to someone who will sail her!!

Her hull and decks have been glass fibre sheathed from new. All spars are aluminium and the boom is a roller furling type, standing rigging is stainless steel.

 Electrical wiring was upgraded 2 seasons ago, there are a number of lights throughout both cabins. Main battery 12V 110 Ahr which also starts the engine, an emergency ‘jump start’ battery pack is included ( not yet needed ). Silva ‘Star’ Sea Data unit giving speed, depth and water temperature.

For sale, or part share???:  SOLD

MG designed 30ft bilge-keeler, a Blue water or creek exploring  boat.

      

MG design, a one off.  'Eirene'  30 ft on deck with bowsprit.  Very similar GH.  Built of the  best Iroko and 1088 ply, and sheathed in rubber in what is now Zimbabwe and taken overland to South Africa a few weeks before the end of the old regime.  She was sailed in South African waters for 10 years before being laid up for years ashore.  She was  fitted out to be sailed back to the UK, but as a result of terrible weather, then the sad death of his wife, the owner eventually shipped her to the UK.  She has been ashore for years.

At about 7 tons she is no trailer sailer, but was designed to withstand the worst weather,  she has been through dozens of full gales offshore and THREE Hurricanes, unscathed!

She needs fitting out, repainting and updating.  Her electrics are minimal and 1970.  She has yawl rig, all sails good, inc storm jib.  Roller reefing on genoa, (Aires wind-vane self steering to be sold separately),  as well as more modern Autohelm 1000, auto pilot,  old 1970's, VHF, that could well do with replacing.  She also has a fitted radio and tape deck.   Tan sail covers and dodgers.  Inboard twin Lister air-cooled diesel. Sea toilet in the fore cabin.  Galley equipped with Paraffin stove with oven. Sink and large freshwater tanks.   Single berth forward with sail bins and wardrobe space and  heads.  Two berths in saloon and two quarter berths aft.

The Bilge keels are hollow and are the fuel tanks.  The stowage, fittings and quality of the woodwork has to be seen to be appreciated.  What other boat in the fleet has a proper bonded drinks store!

The companionway was designed for sailing in the Southern Ocean and would be considered difficult by many, but with a little thought a simple sliding hatch could be added and the low doghouse removed. 

She would be a fantastic sailing cruiser in any waters, with a little love and work.  where else could you get a boat with such history and of similar size with such a well built hull?

The owner would dearly like to see her back afloat and would consider a 50% shared ownership in order to get her back afloat, provided she stayed in the Blackwater area.

This could be a splendid opportunity for someone to own or part own a large capable shoal draft cruiser.  Ashore in Bradwell Marina, Essex.

Realistically priced at £6,000 or £3,000 for a half share, in which case the present owner would sponsor the materials for restoration, till she was launched.

Located: Wilmington, North Carolina, USA
Constr: marine ply with dynell polyester skin, frp decks & cabintop, lots of teak & mahogany. 15 HP Lister diesel aux power.

Redwing is a 24' Eventide traditional wooden sailing boat moored in Portsmouth.  She is a very stable and roomy boat for her size with a very sound hull.  Although she could be sailed, she would suit someone looking for a restoration project to bring her back to her classic looking condition.  She is lying on a swinging mooring in Portsmouth Harbour, which costs £520 a year and can be transferred to the new owner if required, subject to the pro-rata payment for the remainder of the year.

Unfortunately she has been somewhat neglected in recent years so is in need of refitting, some serious cleaning, painting and repairs.  There is a fixed outboard Yamaha 9.9hp which is not in working condition.  She was fitted as a four berth and I was planning to refit her and have removed all the old internal upholstery below, in readiness.  However, due to other commitments, restoration is no longer possible for me and I will be moving to something smaller instead.

She comes with some equipment including flares, 2 anchors and chain, fenders and a stove.  I have not examined the sails recently, however, I believe they are usable but uv strips are perished on the 2 jibs.

I am looking for around £1,500 for her, plus mooring.  For anyone who is seriously interested in buying Redwing,

Divers waterproof camera case with  Fuji camera.     SOLD

      

This is the tiny Fuji camera that many of the pics on this site have been taken with.  It  fits in my pocket and as such is carried at all times.  In a new leather case, (the previous one was looking tatty!), and with all the original manuals, CD, etc.  It has a 3x optical zoom and digital zoom. All sorts of fancy features, can shoot video as well.

In addition I have a spare computer docking port, spare battery, a 64 and an 8 meg card as a spare..  (As You can get over 300 pics on the one card I have very rarely used the spare...) 

Also included a spare battery and a charger for it, mains or 12v for use on board.

The divers case is good to 120ft or 40 metres.  It is as new, has spare seal,  is barely any larger than the camera.  The camera lives in the case on board...  This is the way I get pics when others are hiding their cameras!

I do not think anyone will deny most of the pics I take are good quality.  It is a 4 million pixel camera, but amazingly I normally use it on the lowest setting, 1/3 million, for the pics you see here.

Reason for sale, the family have bought me a new waterproof, all singing and dancing camera for my birthday!

Offers around £80.00 for the whole kit!  (Camera case alone was over £100.)

For Sale:  Very old, Galvanised and copper, Anchor Lamp.  SOLD

   

This old paraffin anchor lamp was old in 1973!  Believed either Dutch or German in make.  Used for years and still working, it really needs a new internal lamp glass to make it 100% again.  Stands about 10 inches to a foot tall.  Real proper working boat kit!

With a bit of TLC will be good for another 35 years.  (Yes I have moved on to a smaller one.. still paraffin though!)

Eventide 26 'Saoirse'  

This Eventide is offered for sale by the Harbour Master of Penarth Quays, Cardiff.

Stuart says he will accept any reasonable offer and will throw in a lift to a trailer for £40.00.

To be fair she is not in a good way and does need a lot of work.  She also is odd in as much as she has no inboard but has been fitted with an inboard well for an outboard.  There is a very unsuitable Seagull in there at the moment! 

Ali mast and boom, hank on foresails and mail on the boom, all in poor condition.  she has been roughly fibre glassed on the cabintop and deck apparently, does not bode well, so if you have a lot of time and effort, but little spare cash, give Stuart a call.

  Barrier Reef 38 'Crystal Voyager'.    SOLD

 

 

Crystal Voyager was designed by Maurice Griffiths and built by Ferro Cement Marine Services in 1972. Her over all length is 43 feet, her beam is 11 feet and she draws 6 feet. She is a centre cockpit design with steel doghouse. Pedestal mounted wheel steering rig. There are two single berths in the forward cabin, and two single berths in the aft cabin. she has a long keel of very substantial dimensions, being nearly 1 foot wide at the base. Overall weight is 16 tonnes

Crystal is incredibly stable and will hold her course unattended for long periods of time. She had an extensive survey in march 1998 by an expert ferro-cement surveyor, his inspection concluded that crystal was in very good condition. She is moored on the Isle of Wight on a pontoon at Bembridge marina.

British Seagull Curlew 4 hp. Long shaft.   Unused.  SOLD

      

This motor was loving built by me from new parts obtained when I cleared the Seagull factory in 1996.  Though the crankcase has a 1990 date on it, most of the motors parts are unused, including the block, head, bracket, gearbox, prop, inner and outer exhaust, carb, drive leg, etc etc..  It has only ever been used in the test tank.

Click here for a Video clip of it running!

I built it to go onto the back of my daughters wedding present, an 18ft Foxcub cruiser.  Despite loving my motors she expressed a need for a reverse gear, for the new mooring in Brixham marina they were offered.  Thus this Easter, before we launched, I swapped it for a 'different' sort of 4 hp...  a Mercury!  Wash your mouth out John!  (Actually it is a very nice sail power job and does nearly as well as I think the Seagull would have done!).  So I have a quite rare Seagull to offer for sale. SOLD

For Sale:  Eventide 26/27 Marionette.   SOLD

   

 

'Marionette' a 27ft Eventide (bilge keeler). Purchased in 2006 from her one former owner. She was completed in 1996, She is complete and we sailed her regularly in 2006 until I got ill, she has a good 11hp Yanmar inboard, good emergency outboard, radio, 3 or 4 sets sails, all gear works fine, with all the fittings and necessary kit as you would expect, she is ready to go. She needs anti fouling (missed last year)

    She is moored at Littlehampton, West Sussex, I am absolutely mortified at losing her but it simply has to be done, as you are all aware for the complete novice or experienced sailors she is just so easy to rig and sail, absolute dream, as a first/starter sailer I could not recommend anything better.

£3,000  (includes everything) I paid £4k and added outboard etc. Inspection or look over welcomed.

As far as I know the starboard hull is the only major repair and her topside and cockpit seem to be in good condition. A basic inventory includes;
 
Spruce mast (in dry storage)
Boom
2x sails
Anchor + chain

SOLD!!!:  All bronze and copper 'keel cooler' assembly.

         

This purpose made Keel Cooler was fitted to my Eventide 26 and very successfully used for years in conjunction with a Stuart Turner 10hp.  Removed when wet exhaust, indirect cooled diesel was fitted.  Two lengths of  approx 6ft x 1"  heavy wall copper tube, with cast bronze end fittings, sufficient to cool  a petrol motor of over 12 hp and a diesel of over 15. (diesels are slightly more heat efficient.)  

The bronze end castings are fitted with through hull fastenings and the aft end fitted with 2 x 15mm  approx supply and return. All you need to add is a plastic header tank with a radiator cap!

Lower or forward end fitted with drain plug.  Designed to be filled with antifreeze solution.  All you need is a plastic header tank from a car and you have enough to do the job.  With it you can run the motor out of water if you need to, on the mud etc.  No more mud and sand getting into the waterways of any raw water cooled motor.  You simply need  either a dry exhaust, suitably lagged, or a small pump to use to cool the exhaust.

£40.00, just the end castings cost a lot more than that years ago!
