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  Failure to be 100%  in any advert, and it will be withdrawn.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.

John, I have a brand new 2" No.8 Bronze, Flat Head screw from an Eventide - does this constitute ownership?

Sorry Folks, yes it is a joke, this is what the ex owners in the old eoa actually resorted to to stay in charge!  Sad Eh!  Maybe by placing this here we can shame them into either restoring them or passing them to someone who is willing to!

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?

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.

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!

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..

For Sale:  Rawanah

A one off design by MG for a friend. A description of a voyage by MG and friend from Oban to East Tarbert and back is contained in a chapter in his book "Little ships and shoal waters".

I bought her in 2000, she was in surprisingly good condition, largely due to her having been in the ownership of one family for 42 years.

During the last eight years I have voyaged extensively from bases in Scotland -the Outer and Inner Hebrides, Orkney and the Faroe Islands

Falmouth - The South coast and Scillies.

Bristol - Ireland three times including a circumnavigation in July 2008

She sails extremely well, hardly any wake, takes rough water and very rarely takes a wave aboard.

She stands up well to her sails due more to her full hull shape than to her ballast, in all the perfect cruising boat, but for those wanting to race she still has a reasonable turn of speed.

Dimensions

35’ on deck with 8’ bowsprit; 31’10" waterline; 10’ beam, 4’10" draft.

14 TM and 10 T displacement

3.5 tons iron ballast keel and internal lead ballast.

Her structure.

Built by Harry King of Pin Mill in 1935 so you would expect her to be of the highest standard.

A double ender with long keel. Rudder hung on near vertical sternpost.

Raised bulwarks, with a lot of open deck space on each side of cabin roof.

Main mast stepped on a false floor, Mizzen mast stepped on cockpit floor.

Slab reefing, though old roller reefing gear still in place and working on main.

Deck of good pitch pine now sheathed in fibreglass. No leaks!

Full length mostly pitch-pine planking, on sawn oak frames 2" x 1.5" at 8" centres.

Galvanized rigging all new in 2008. 

New engine a 37.5 hp Beta installed 2004 – less than 1,000 hours on the clock – with new fuel tanks including a day tank. Capacity circa 130 litres. Good sized three bladed prop.

Internal

Delightful unspoilt cabin with two berths and table, drawers and stowage under and behind berths.  Fore cabin with berth and pipe-cot, chains in forepeak. Hanging space.  Separate heads with Baby Blake.  Galley aft with modern 2 burner gas stove with grill and oven, with ¼ berth opposite.

Equipment

House and starter batteries; Depth sounder; Walker log; Radio; Navtec: Auto pilot.  Life raft (four person)

Two piece tender sits on cabin top and converts into a easy to row skiff. Can also be sailed though sail needs some attention, being cut down by owner from an old dinghy sail.

Sail locker – dates are the year of manufacture as far as I can remember

For Sale:  Maurice Griffiths "Solani" Class

 

 

Description
Classic centreboard Bermudan ketch built entirely of teak in Mazagon Shipyard (Bombay, India) in 1946. She was first named Zoraya then Sea Pie and now India of Poole. She has had 7 owners in 53 years - one of them being Maurice Griffiths himself. As a shipwright I can confirm that structurally she is as sound as a copper-bottomed boat - which she is. The most important matter to be attended to for the next owner are the seacock's, which although serviceable really need replacing AND the 2nd port mizzen chain plate (a new one would be best). I am in the process of varnishing, oiling and painting the topsides but weather has not been kind.
 
Dimensions
Length (LOA)  38.8 feet
Length (Waterline)  28.4 feet
Beam  10.5 feet
Draught  4.5 feet (extending to 7 with the centerboard lowered)    
 
Accommodation
Full headroom throughout with a total of seven berths. Forward cabin separate - double berth. Saloon table (seating 4 comfortably) collapses into a double berth with a single berth opposite - doubling as a bench. Another double berth over the engine box starboard of the port companionway is well suited to the more lithe and younger crew. Fair-sized galley with cooker. Heads amidships with basin emptying into centerboard case - ingenious! Very pragmatic layout.
 
Sail, Engine and capacities
Masthead Genoa, main and mizzen staysail, cruising chute and storm jib and other sails - at least 600sq ft of sail. Galvanized wire rigging. 2 mast winches and 2 sheet winches - loads of spares.
Marinised Volkswagen Passat - head gasket and cam belt recently replaced and engine serviced.
50 gallon diesel stowed in twin 25 gallon stainless tanks. 50 gallon freshwater tank.
 
Navigation equipment & miscellaneous
Garmin 235 GPS with fish finder option, NASA Clipper Duet (depth & log), SIMRAD RD68 VHF, Auto helm for both wheel and tiller autopilots, Plastimo 4 man life raft, 240V shore power with Sterling twin bank 20amp marine battery charger, twin 110amp hour batteries fitted with Vetus 3-way selector/isolator switch, wind charger provides trickle charge, 2 12v bilge pumps and a large capacity manual, new SMEV 4-hob cooker and LPG system compliant to British and USA/European standards, 2 Bruce's and 1 fishermen's anchor, newly fitted solid fuel Davey stove etc....

Barbican 33 - The Ultimate Long Keeled Cruising Yacht

YACHT “NOSS PACKET”

Registered tonnage 7.21
K3362T
Full inventory
LYING SOUTH DEVON (Yealm)

DESCRIPTION
This boat is exceptional with an owner who enjoyed designing, building and maintaining her as much as sailing her. She is a long keeled (ballasted) version (no bilge keels or centre plate) with a unique interior design. The heads are sited starboard aft and the forepeak is a double berth accessed through an elliptic aperture - a very strong 'ring bulkhead'. This provides a vast living space in the main cabin area (seating for 10) around a large table attached to the substantial s/s mast support strut. The galley lies to port immediately for'd of a generous chart table. The boat exudes quality in every detail. The hull had epoxy applied at build. The owner was an electronics engineer so all the electrics, domestic systems and engine (Yanmar 3HM35F – 34 HP) installation are to a well designed and robust standard. This is a one off and outstanding example of this sought after cruising yacht. Annual lay up ashore each winter has ensured that the hull and machinery is as sound as any boat of this age can be.  The boat is being sold with a good inventory but she requires a new suit of sails. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Realistic offers on the asking price may be considered.
