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,

 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!

For Sale: Tidewater, 'Five Farthings'.

 

Length Overall	34ft	10.28m
Length on Deck	30ft	9.14m
Waterline Length	26ft 6ins	8.08m
Beam	9ft 6ins	2.9m
Draft	3ft 8ins	1.12m
Displacement	6.6tons	6700kg
Ballast	2.1tons	2130kg
Thames Tonnage	10 tons

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.. 

 Moored in Falmouth, Cornwall.
