We strongly advise any prospective purchaser to employ the services of a surveyor, further more we will remove any boats from our listing that are not scrupulously honestly advertised.

Any boat advertised as 'ready to sail' must be in top condition.  Failure to be 100%  in any advert, and it will be withdrawn.  We have recently heard of a very distressing tale and never wish this to be repeated.

November 2007.  The owners has contacted us to say the boat is available free..  However, from the cursory inspections made, and from studying interior photos, it appears to us to be beyond safe and economic restoration.  Sadly many structural timbers appear to be suffering from rot. Restoration to safe sailing condition appears out of the question. This vessel will also be incurring charges where it is stored....

For Sale . "Iduna"   an  M.G. Cockler

25 ft long, 4 berth, mahogany on oak hull, laid decks.  Owned by me for 10 years, I spent a lot of time and money on restoration, mainly rebuilding cockpit area, 6 strakes of planking to the topsides and replacing the transom, which had suffered from fresh water damage, after being left on a beach berth uncovered for some years. This work carried out by a shipwright, and at the time the cockpit was enlarged.

First trip was to Douarnenez for the Festival, and was used for local sailing for a few years. Later the c/b was giving trouble and I removed it and replaced the inner keel and some of the metal floors..


Retirement, a long period out of the country and other things taking up my time means the boat has been neglected and needs some TLC. Mast sails and rigging are currently off the boat and in store, tan main, a jib I had made and has had very little use, and some odd sails I used to experiment with cutter rig.

Engine is a Stuart Sole diesel 10 hp. was working fine when laid up.


Full details and lots of photos of the rebuild and finished boat available, not digital I’m afraid !

Lying near Falmouth in Cornwall,


Work needed is more DIY and cosmetic than needing boatbuilding skills.


Price negotiable on £2500.   Contact John Haswell on  07855358223,

The Eventide 24 ' Blue Dancer is available to anyone willing to take on the finishing of the project.  she is ply and the hull is in fair condition.  Built in 1962, she may have the early lighter keel still, but anyone taking on this project would probably be sensible enough to want to remove the keel and bolts anyway, so adding weight and depth would not be a big problem.  She still has paint on her.... No inboard, used to have an outboard in a well, (not to be recommended!) since removed.  Needs bracket on stern maybe...  or full conversion to inboard?

Sails and rigging available.  Mast and boom freshly varnished, new bowsprit made.

28 feet on deck with a beam of 10'.   Volvo 18hp diesel.   Sound as bell

£15,000.  Moored in France.

Call Steve 00 44 (0)4 66 75 42 21 for details.


For Sale:  Steel MG 31 ft Vulcan, Adora

 Built of Corton steel by Kesteloo in Holland.  The original ply coachroof and cockpit have recently been replaced in steel. The cockpit was re-designed to make her much safer sailing short-handed. The yacht is bilge keel making her a very versatile vessel having the ability for Blue Water cruising and venturing through canals of Europe  is very suitable for a drying mooring. The yacht has been cruised widely in the Mediterranean for several years.

The accommodation comprises a fore cabin with double berth and a main saloon with one double and one single berth.

She is fitted with Perkins 4108 engine, which was re-conditioned by a previous owner about 10 years ago and has few running hours since. The engine has keel cooling making her ideal for shallow waters and canals. A re-conditioned Hurth gearbox has been installed. The engine temperature and oil pressure gauges need fitting.

The theme of the interior is classic in style with a number of antique (c. 1920) opening brass portholes having been fitted to the new coachroof sides.

An astrodome is fitted to the companionway hatch which provides good all round visibility.

The hull and superstructure is rust free and very sound. It would be difficult to find another vessel having steel in such a good condition. The exterior of the hull has been completely re-painted with two pack Jotun Hard Top. All new steel has been painted with Jotun Jotumastic primer and 6 coats of Jotun Hard Top.

The coachroof, decks and hull above waterline are fully insulated making her a warm boat in winter and cool during summer. A Taylors diesel heater is installed in the salon needing just one flue section and diesel supply to be fitted.

Tankage is approximately 50 gal water and 50 gal diesel. The water tank has recently been painted with a potable water paint.

A 50 metre length of 10mm calibrated galvanised chain is fitted with a 45 lb genuine CQR. A Danforth anchor is also aboard. A set of fenders, warps and sheets is provided.


The yacht is sold complete with a new main mast and an assortment of sails. An Air-X wind generator is mounted on the mizzen.

Although the yacht was extensively re-fitted several years ago there remains a small amount of work to complete. The yacht has full British Registry .

The yacht is ashore on the River Dart in Devon. The asking price is £27,750.

"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.

For Sale: Wild Duck ‘Beautje’ (steel) is for sale!

 

She can be admired in the photo gallery on the website. She was built in Holland in 1962 and I have sailed her now for 7 years. Because my children are growing up and keep getting bigger, I have decided to start looking for a somewhat bigger boat.

‘Beautje’ is in absolute mint condition as I have taken care of her very well in the past seven years. A new teak-deck was put on in 2005, the engine has been completely restored (a Bukh DV 10, very reliable diesel inboard engine), new sails in 2001, a brand new all-weather cover 2008, paintwork and varnish every year and she has never been outside / in the water during winter.

It's in one word a unique little boat with great sailing qualities that every body comments on in a positive way. Nothing comparable can be found, at least not in the Dutch waters!
