 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

David Verbeck 

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

What price Deck Cargo from Hawaii!??

November 2006. we have just heard the offer has been taken up and Jonny Blake is off to sort her out and start cruising! Bon Voyage

GALATEA SOLD

Eventide 26 sail No. 1047

She is rigged as a Bermudan Cutter with a 4 foot plank bowsprit giving an LOA of 30 feet, she has a deep narrow cockpit and is tiller steered. 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. She has a long keeled hull with steel bilge plates giving a draught of about 3 feet depending on loading, and is able to take the ground very comfortably, she is ideal for creek crawling.

 Tan coloured mainsail ( 2 seasons old ) with 2 reefing cringles for slab reefing if preferred to roller boom option. White spitfire jib and staysail, large genoa and a storm jib. Mainsail bag and boom cover.

 All halyards were replaced last season with modern Hemp look alike 10mm – to keep traditional feel. Sheets are 2 seasons old.

: Main plough type anchor 10Kg with substantial amount of chain and a second 5Kg both at the bow with separate chain pipes and chain lockers. Manual ratchet type horizontal winch for breaking out and retrieval. Small folding grapnel type for kedging kept in stern locker. Various warps ranging in size and length, more than enough fenders.

 Dolphin series II marine two stroke 12HP, gearbox, raw water cooled, wet exhaust system. This is a reliable and quiet engine which requires very little maintenance. Remote stern gland greasing.

 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. Silva ‘Star’ NAV Repeater, linked to main GPS system. Garmin 128 fixed GPS receiver. Magellan GPS300 handheld backup. NASA Navtex Plastimo NAVIK windvane self steering gear.

Tender: 2.6 metre XM inflatable, . Evinrude 2.3 HP two stroke outboard, anchor

She comes with a transferable mooring near to the Folly at Whippingham andownership of a floating pontoon.

Why are we selling her – we are hoping to change our lives by buying an old Dutch barge and cruising the waterways of Europe and so we will have little time for sea sailing. She is a well loved and well cared for boat and she needs a new owner to continue to look after her.

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.

For sale: SOLD

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.)

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.

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.

YM Senior  Patience,

  SOLD

Currently sitting in a barn in Suffolk on a road going trailer.

Stripped down and painted this year after she began to let in a little water whilst at moorings. She has an inboard villiers engine, however I have been unable to locate parts for the sailing propeller it is attached to. I have had the engine running, it needs an exhaust. I lost the rudder and have the components for a new one, assembly required.

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!

SOLD: Tidewater, 'Five Farthings'.

I bought 'Five Farthings' 3rd hand in 2002 and spent nearly two years renovating her before sailing her to Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Scilly and London. She is an excellent sea boat and has a full range of cruising sails, including storm jib and trysail.

Five Farthings was built in 1969 of Pitch-Pine planks which were splined, scarfed to length rather than butted and CasCovered (a form of sheathing utilizing nylon fabric and Resorcinol glue) on steamed oak frames on 7' centers. To the best of my knowledge only one plank has been replaced, this was the starboard sheer-plank were it abuts the coach roof, I used a 10' plank of Douglas Fir A1 grade (tight grain, no knots) and used butt-straps to fix to the good parts of the old plank. The forward bulkhead at the foredeck was replaced as it failed at the outboard ends (a universal problem on Maurice Griffiths designs and a consequence of the split sheer line that gives such good headroom.

I checked three keel-bolts and found them not too seriously corroded and judged them to be alright for another 10 years (that would be 4 from now).

The engine was replaced with a brand new Lombardini 903M 28HP and an extra fuel tank fitted to give a total of 150l capacity. I fitted a Newport diesel heater that can make you open the door when it is minus 5C.

I replaced the old bermudan rig with a Falmouth workboat mainsail (these are a large fleet of racing Gaffers in Falmouth and good second hand sails for cruising are always available. The mast is new seated in the original steel tabernacle and built of five planks of Douglas Fir, glued with Resorcinol with an internal wire channel but otherwise solid for strength. The wire rigging and much of the running rigging was replaced at the same time.

The sails are a bit of a mixed bag with red, white and green (no she's not Italian) but provide a well balanced weatherly rig which can be reefed to suit all conditions and are what you might call 'Cruising Grade'. The topsail can be flown above the reefed main, increasing the leading edge length to improve up wind ability in windy weather and is flown on a separate jackstay which also flies the trysail in very strong winds.

The deck is pine tongue and groove, under 10mm marine ply, under polyester resin and glass cloth, it doesn't leak at all even though (perhaps because) it's not traditional. The cooker was new in 2004 and we have several regulators for the differing gas bottles around the British Isles and France....Full Inventory on request..

"Safrel"is a well-built and well-maintained example of this famous type. She was very substantially refitted in 1999/2001, with the addition of much new equipment, including engine, electrics, upholstery, cooker, instruments, and much else, at a cost of about £20,000, plus two years of time and a great deal of thought. Receipts and maintenance schedules are available for all work done in my ownership."Safrel" is a very capable cruising boat, and in all weather conditions she inspires her crew with confidence. She is comfortable to live on, with quality fabric upholstery and over 6 ft headroom. Five good berths in two cabins – one double and three singles. Her long keel and substantial bilge plates enable her to dry out level.

Beta 37.5 bhp four-cylinder diesel (new in 2000), heat exchanger cooled. Fully sound-insulated, smooth, powerful and surprisingly economical. Shaft drive to 3-blade prop. 20 gallon fuel capacity. Both start batteries new in 2008.

Taylor’s paraffin cooker (new in 2000), with oven, coolbox, manual pumped water (20 gallons), separate heads with basin and Baby Blake sea toilet, Taylor’s paraffin cabin heater.

A taller (36 ft) mainmast was fitted in 1991, with new boom, genoa and mainsail, giving improved sailing performance.

For Sale. Senior 'Lapwing'

These two pics taken about 10 years ago shows what she can look like!

Lapwing is a 2 berth Yachting Monthly Senior. 16' LOA, 3' draft, fin keel, Bermudian sloop rig - roller reefing main. Her inventory includes: Sails made 1994 by Suffolk Sails, still in good condition. Bilge pump. Chemical toilet. Berth cushions 1999 by Jeckells, in excellent clean condition, Fitted varnished mahogany lockers with space for cooker. Mud weight and fenders. Road trailer, lighting board, ladder.

We do not know when she was built or by whom, but her sail number 473 suggests the 1960s.

Most Seniors have either bilge keels or centre boards, but Lapwing has a fin keel and sails very well indeed. Her keel is made of solid mahogany with a cast lead ballast, and is held on by massive bronze bolts. She is planked in very nice mahogany marine ply over mahogany frames. Her spars are spruce.

Lapwing is part way through a re-fit and will need some work done by a competent carpenter or boat builder: The joint between coachroof and foredeck was not good. Therefore, a deck beam and the tabernacle have been taken off in preparation for re-fixing along with an additional beam (provided) to give increased mast support. There are also some more minor repairs that will need doing.

Price £595 including road trailer.

For Sale: "Taloa" an MG Thames Bawley

A pic of 'Taloa' in her heyday. She does not look like this at the moment!!

She needs a lot of work to bring her back, but a lot has already been done

This is as she is now..... but with a bit of effort....

built 1950 by J Cook Wivenhoe LOA 31 ft

I have owned 'Taloa' since 1998. She was refurbished in 2002. Since then she has been sailing up and down the east coast where she is well known. In the last couple of years she has not been sailed much and I have done little to her due to personal problems. I decided to start a re-fit over the winter months, and she now has new keel bolts, new epoxy sheath deck, re-caulked where necessary. Structurally she is sound. Only a couple of small scarfs topsides, then just paint and varnish and putting back together. Unfortunately, I am going back into hospital so everything has been put on hold again. So I have decided to let her go. If anybody is interested in carrying on with the work and would like to make me an offer for this super classic little boat please get in touch.

SOLD : 50 NiCad sealed Boat battery Cells. 

These 50 cells are at present in 5 banks of 10 cells giving 5 x 60 amp hour NiCad batteries, nominal 12volt.

They can charge at 30 amps and can also stay idle, charged all winter. Cells are ex RAF Aircraft cells, they can be inverted, if you feel the need to loop the loop! Government defence contract quality of course.

They can be 4 x 60 amp to use and 1 set of 10 cells to split up as spares, probably good for the next 10 years.... I have loads of spare link straps and fixings...

I will also throw in a TWC/Adverc alternator controller set for the correct voltage 15.5,for free. Controller  removed from 'fiddler's Green', November 09, along with complete wiring loom and full instructions for refitting. Has battery temperature sensor, voltage sensor and alternator connections.

I have used this type of cell for 20 years and am only switching to lead acid as I can no longer get anymore identical spare cells. However I normally only ever replace one duff cell a year, sometimes none, so if your electrical need is for 4 x 60 amp hours, these may well suit you.

 So for 4 x 60 amp hour and 10 spare cells inc alternator controller £100 the lot.. 

John Williams 01621 778859 or via enquiries@eventides.org.uk

Need more AMPS! In addition I have access to similar near new cells, the same physical size but only 40 amp hours, so if you needed more storage than the above and have the room, you could buy more. Each additional 40 amp 12v bank of cells approx £50..  Over 7 sets available.

Sold:  YM Eventide 26, Mistress II

To the astute observer, yes it is John, the coordinator, hanging off her bowsprit! September 5 years or so back enjoying a trip from the Blackwater to the Crouch aboard her!

Sadly this Eventide has had a survey that has revealed  repairs are needed to part of the deck and raised topsides.  She has had attention lavished on her over the years, with a New Yanmar and new guard rail rigging, however it needs someone who is willing to get her into the dry and save her... No punches pulled here, she will need work, but after that you have a great boat with Ali mast, roller genoa and new motor!

There is rot in the stbd side from the break of the deck forward to about 6 ft from the bow, with 2 soft spots in the main gunwale and the deck carline.  All repairable with a little effort and time. 

The port side has less damage but a 6ft section of raised topsides needs replacing. Having crawled all over her today I think the rest is sound, so any restorers out there want  to take on this challenge?

Due to monies spent, asking £2,500.  or close sensible offers, No jokers!

SOLD!!!: Complete cutter rig for 26ft Eventide,

I have for sale a complete kit for someone to turn a completed hull into a very well equipped sailing boat .

The mast is 32ft in a sturdy ally section, on a s/s tabernacle, a combined s/s pulpit/bowsprit gives a very powerful rig which works well with a self tacking staysail and large genoa on Plastimo roller reefing. Other sails include Slab reefing main, storm jib and trysail all in tan. All control lines are led back via halyard winch to a bank of jammers. There are also two sheet winches with brackets (s/s) for mounting on cockpit sides. All standing and running rigging and chain plates are also available as well as various turning blocks etc etc.

It would be a wonderful opportunity for someone in the process of building or renovating an Eventide or even a similar sized boat but if this doesn't happen then items may have to be sold individually.

£1250 !!!!!!

Also a 14" x 10" 3 bladed L.H. prop that was used with a Yanmar YSM12hp single cylinder horizontal. Now a new larger motor fitted as boat has now been converted for canal cruising in France!

Offers?

Spars etc in Plymouth.

 For Sale/ SOLD   Sailspar boom, new, with internal control lines and jammers for 4 reefs.  This is maybe a foot shorter than standard for E26, but with altered or different sail (help prevent weatherhelm!) would do the job, approx 11'6" long 4 " depth.

Was Free To a Good Home! Eventide 26 'Quiet Waters'

sadly now broken up.

Friends of mine in Wiltshire have an Eventide 26(?) sitting in their yard and would like to find a new owner who is willing to take her.  She is free. She has been in the open for a couple of years, and needs work on a new fore deck, and starboard bow. Her hull seems sound and she could be a lovely boat again with some hard graft. Her mast and sails are available. Even if someone took her for spare parts she would be worth the transport costs. She sits in the country, outside Calne. This is an urgent message as, if no-one takes her she will be broken up. Her name is Quiet Waters and sail number YM 1245.
I do hope you can help, as she is a sweet boat.
Yours sincerely

SOLD: Eventide 26’ 'Kedidi'

Regrettably, I am forced to abandon the restoration of our extensively sailed family Eventide, Kedidi, (E1001), built very solidly and professionally in 1966 in a Singapore yard. Chengal frames with cabin, cockpit, decking and trim in local teak. Tannalised marine ply hull was completely coated in West system 2-part epoxy some 10 years ago, is very sound and ready to paint. Mast is aluminium with fitted Firdell reflector and stainless steel rigging.  In addition to twin bilge keels, main keel has extra ballast and  extends to form substantial skeg that houses the prop shaft.  The original Volvo Penta 7 was replaced with a Lister Petter 14 in 1989 and has less than 200 hours running time. Sails are by Cheong Lee of Hong Kong and include main, and 3 foresails.  Other equipment includes S/S pulpit, pushpit and guard rails, Navico wind, log and depth instruments, Plastimo bulkhead compass and hand-pumping heads, 6kg Danforth anchor with about 50m of chain, various spars and fittings.  Kedidi has been laid up since 1999 in a dry barn near Huntingdon.  Will restore to a very pretty boat.
