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?

 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!??

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.)

SOLD instantly!!!!

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. SOLD

 'Moonshiner'has been covered on hard standing for 20 years. She has a hole in her starboard hull where I cut back to find the extent of rot. I bought her last year to restore but have now decided to take another boat but ideally like to see someone restore. 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)Boom2x sailsAnchor + chainStuart Turner p66 petrol in running order last year and kept isolated.

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!

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. 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.


Removed from Sale: MG 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?

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.

 SOLD:  GH 31 'Gallinula'

           

 

I am nearing completion of the restoration of Golden Hind 31 "Gallinula"

She has been completely stripped inside and is now virtually as new including bilge paint and all lockers. The cockpit has also been brought back to new condition (She has a gorgeous teak after deck and cockpit). 

Gallinula has a nearly new engine (300 hours) Beta 29hp with a new loom and control panel. She also has a nearly new fully battened main with roller ball cars (the sail is still so stiff it’s impossible to get in the bag. The genoa is also in good condition with new UV strip. (There is a spare main and spare genoa which is also in good condition). She also has new lazy jacks (never fitted) and an over boom cockpit cover. The deck paint is also new October last year. All new stainless standing and running rigging including all new bottle screws - never used - the mast was raised to check all fitted (see photo) and lowered again

The pulpit and stern rail, stanchions are stainless not galvanised. She also includes a charcoal burner stove in the main cabin and original oil lamps

She also has a beautiful cherry and whitewood cabin sole in the forepeak and main cabin

The bad bits - There is only one battery and really requires at least doubling up with isolator switch which unfortunately is beyond my capability and requires rewiring and new switch panel. I may commission someone to do this if I have time

The bits left to do, which I am doing now as quickly as the weather allows are all niff naff and trivia:

Cockpit locker tops hinges need attaching to the cockpit

Same with the new fore hatch

Navigation lights need attaching to cabin sides, stern rail and pulpit

One internal locker top to be made and fitted

Starboard side requires final gloss 

The chain plates pass through the deck and bolt through onto one of the frames close to the forward bulkhead. Gallinula is encapsulated ply. The areas that I have renewed have been epoxied and encapsulated in 200 gram woven matt, but the rest is cascover I think it was called.

She comes with log, depth, wind speed and direction, all fenders, ropes, anchor etc. The cooker is gas with three burner and oven, and electric operated water. She also has a charcoal hearer and oil lamps.

I will provide a suitable hard tender. The nameplate confirms she is Hartwell built.

Copy of recent survey available which shows she is sound with some minor task to be undertaken.

I'm looking for around £14,000.

Was offered Free to a good home and restorer...   no takers

Eventide Magog, sadly since these pictures were taken she was sunk on her mooring in France when the river she was moored on went into flood.  She has since been raised but she has damage to her ply deck .  The hull is double diagonal built and OK.   She is repairable.  Sadly Tony the owner is not up to is and offers her free to anyone willing to come to France with a trailer and tow her away.  He has a motor, which was not in her when she sank, in fact she was bare inside, all the kit stored ashore.

Even sadder Tony had no takers and the boat eventually had to be broken up.  Sept 2012.

(Note.  The picture above was taken after we'd just come back in from a month's cruise this summer. Since then she's been lifted, antifouled, and had her hull re-polished ready to re-launch.)

Hull 1980. Completed and launched 1987.  Impeccable 2009 survey available on request.

Molly is an immaculate Golden Hind 31, maintained and updated regularly. 

Her engine is a Yanmar 2GM20 (2001).  Scrupulously maintained and serviced.

She comes with all the usual pieces of cruising kit - including a Norvane servo-pendulum self steering system and Rutland 513 charger with Marlec control unit. 

We're selling Molly with very mixed feelings.  We'll be sad to see her go, but she's given us the cruising bug and we're off long term - and with two growing children we're looking for something with an aft cabin they can call their own.

In the time we've owned her Molly has been a delight to own and sail. A real head turner in the age of Jen/Bav white things, and the tidiest GH 31 we've seen.

She was for sale via Deacons on the Hamble and their website (http://www.deaconsboatyard.co.uk/) had full pictures and details.

SOLD: Maurice Griffiths "Solani" Class, 'India of Poole'

 

 

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....

 

Owners comments I have gone some way to improving living conditions on India as we are a live aboard. Sadly I never got round to sorting out the shower - but that's another story....

 

 SOLD  Price and location £42,000 Cornwall

Many years ago, I had the belaying pin from 'India of Poole' given to me by MG. We made it into a trophy, sadly lost upon the demise of the old assoc. John


SOLD: Senior 'Avocet'

           

 

Avocet is 16 feet x 6 feet beam and was built in the 1970's of marine ply on mahogany frames, to a good spec. She is regarded as a mini cruiser - 2 berth with cushions (mattresses). Swing keel, with main sail, working jib and storm foresail, anchors and fenders, and boarding ladder, plus extras.

Selling her complete with everything you need to go sailing, including a road trailer. She is a very stable boat - quite fast with a crew of two. I also have the original plans if required.

SOLD to a friend and now kept in South Lincolnshire on her trailer so with a simple 2-3 hour journey allows us to  cruise on the Norfolk Broads,  Blackwater, Soar, Orwell without the 3 day passages to get there.

As we live in South Lincolnshire, her home waters are the Wash , Humber and North Norfolk.

Lying Fowey

She was commissioned by my Great Uncle who sailed her extensively around the UK then across to the Azores and then to Portugal where he kept her for some years. Sadly ill health has meant he is no longer able to sail her and so we have been sailing her for the last 3 years and she is currently based in Fowey.

 However, work and a young family [although they absolutely love the her!] mean that I just don’t have the time required for the ongoing maintenance and upkeep on a boat of this vintage, which as I am sure you know is fairly demanding.

 The result is reluctantly we have decided to sell her, we have put her on the market at what we feel a very reasonable price  given the size and quality of the Golden Hinds. For someone with time she would be fantastic boat.

Vessel sold in ‘end of season’ condition, needs painting and varnishing and gear updating maybe.

But sold at a very realistic price of £7,500!  Sold

Sold: GH 26. Lady of Lockerley

       

 
1981 Golden Hind 26 Lady of Lockerley  – Ashore Hamble Point, UK

Designed by the famous Maurice Griffiths and built by Terry Erskine Yachts of Plymouth.

Cutter rig. Long keel with bilge plates. 10hp Bukh Inboard diesel engine. GRP hull. Teak decks, bowsprit, cockpit, fixtures and rubrail.

Attractive varnished hardwood beams in cabin Comprehensive inventory. Part 1 registered. Full ownership history

Length 26.0’

LWL 20’ 4"

Beam 8’ 2"

Draft 2’6"

Lady of Lockerley is a handsome, seaworthy yacht. She was the last of 11 of her design to be made.

Her design makes her exceptionally sturdy and comfortable as evidenced by her voyages as far as Russia and Finland, while her shallow keel allows access to anchorages most boats can’t access. She has been much loved and restored since we purchased her including a full engine overhaul and new rigging and proved herself a safe comfortable cruiser. Since our children arrived we have had no time for her and she is in need of some fairly significant TLC.
Full survey 2012 available on request.

She is such a lovely boat we would love her to go to an enthusiast.

Doug is keen just to see her go to a good home.  She has taken  Doug to the Netherlands, Belgium and France, west as far as Fowey in Cornwall and south to the Channel Isles and also through France to the Med.  She is a robust and sturdy example of the class, extremely well built and sailed.

She is on the hard at Bradwell, Essex and only needs a coat of antifouling and can be launched and sailed/motored away.

Please contact John as he is acting on behalf of Doug.

If you are looking for a ‘go anywhere’ boat, ‘Tiger Lily’ is for you. Fitted out very professionally by an engineer from an Erskine GRP hull between 1976 and 1982, she was obviously intended to be self reliant and independent of the pampered South Coast marina lifestyle. The minimum of shiny bits, wood or metal, she has a tough, almost working boat feel to her. Cruised extensively in the Irish Sea and the Channel Islands she will take you to places fin keelers fear to tread. Priced competitively but open to offers as I have had to reluctantly swallow the anchor due to health issues. What will remain will be the memories of those days and nights at the helm heading out for each season’s new adventures – sob!

Sold:  Ali mast steps

   

Ali mast steps, 'D' shape, to fit side of mast. I have approx 40left, they were made for me. I have used some and a friend has more on his boat, these are surplus to requirements.

Sold: 'Elver' Goosander 23, junk rigged

       

An unusual junk rigged derivative of the Goosander 23'. I have attached photos of her but basically the only difference to the standard Goosander is the fact that the mast is seated further toward the bows.

The boat is plywood constructed with a chine hull. Three years ago she underwent a full strip down and epoxy resin from top to bottom. The hull is copper coated. She is in good condition but in places the finish could do with some touching up. The engine is a Vire 7hp inboard two stroke in good condition with a full rebuild two years ago. All engine bearings and consumables were renewed. The sail and rigging (no need for standing rigging as junk) is in as new condition. There is an older spare sail.


I would like to sell the boat as we have now bought another boat. After doing so much work my main concern is that she goes to a good home so I am not too concerned about making a lot of money. £1500 would make me happy.

The boat is ashore adjacent to Ardoran marine, Argyll & Bute, PA34 4SE. She sits on a serviceable launching trailer but could not be towed by road.

If possible I would like to let your members know that the boat is for sale. She is very unusual and extremely pretty, she deserves a good home.

Contact Andrew Hodge    

 

Believed sold, can anyone confirm????  Yes Andrew has been on, a member of his family has taken it on, more for the Goosander site page when I get it.

Ceilidhe II has had only 4 owners from new. She has cruised the Mediterranean extensively, passing through the French canals in both directions.

I acquired Ceilidhe II in July 2010, sailed her for a couple of seasons and then continued the refit; "Anno domini" dictates I no longer have the ability to complete the job. She lies ashore, can be launched and sailed as she is but really needs cosmetic completion and the fitting of the new toilet and compass, plus a repaint.

Sold:- Steel Eventide 26 'Sandance'

           

                       SANDANCE   -    

STEEL BUILT EVENTIDE 26 FIRST LAUNCHED AUG 2004

·        The hull decks and superstructure were constructed from steel, grit blasted to SA 2.5 standard  inside and out ie white metal. then painted with 2pack epoxy.

·        The underwater profile is a deep box section centre keel filled with lead blocks. twin bilge keels, and a large skeg. Transom hung rudder. (This profile practically eliminates weather helm)

 

·        The engine is a 1gm YANMAR and has logged less than one hundred and fifty hours running time.

 

·        The sails mast and rigging came from an earlier eventide which sailed from Lytham, and consist of aluminium mast, mainsail, genoa, working jib, and spinnaker all well used but still in decent condition.

 

·        NASA sounder, NASA compass. MIDLAND VHF. CQR anchor and chain. spare cqr anchor, prop shaft deep sea seal. 

 

·        After 10 seasons on the water  the paint work has stood up to its task very well and  there is no corrosion whatsoever on the hull which is as sound as the day she was built. However a new coat of paint would look nice.

 

·         Because of my age (now 77 and the reason for selling her) the boat has been fitted out as simply as possible just for day sailing, so for any serious cruising, further fitting out would advantageous. However there is absolutely no structural work required, and she could be sailed now.

 

·        The boat is currently on winter storage ashore at Beaumaris Anglesey, and is now up for sale. She has been deliberately left in "End of season condition" to avoid any interested purchaser thinking that the boat has been "tarted up" to conceal any problems.

 

·        Offered for sale for a bargain price  of £2,000  to a good home.

Sold: 'Athaena’,  26ft Athaena Class

       

‘Athaena’ is in full service, everything works, she is sailed regularly and ready to undertake any voyage! 

'Athaena' was designed for and built in 1979,  marine ply on Iroko, by Allan Solly, a professional cabinet maker and amateur boat builder.   She was the first example (and as far as I’m aware only) of the Athaena class.  However, because of the cooperation between Maurice Griffiths, Allan Solly and Terry Erskine, she was effectively the "pre production prototype" for the Golden Hind 26, hence the sail number ‘GH 0’.  We are now not sure she actually has any sail number....

The deck and most of the cockpit are made of teak, the cabin sides in mahogany and the interior in mahogany or mahogany faced marine ply. She has the more attractive stepped coach roof. Athaena is rigged as a cutter sloop with a mast taller than the standard for her class and a 3 foot fixed plank bowsprit. LOD is 26 feet and LOA with the bowsprit is approximately 30 feet. With her traditional tan sails and extensive woodwork (Treated with Coelan) she is admired as an attractive boat by all who see her. With standing room, a fixed galley, fixed chart table, enclosed heads and fully usable v-berth in the fore cabin, Athaena offers a level accommodation that shames modern boats of a similar length. 

She has recently completed a voyage from Hull to the Exe during which she proved herself to be an very capable and reliable cruising yacht.

Athaena is being sold ‘ready to go’ with a full inventory (too numerous to list everything) of equipment including: Recently ‘factory’ refurbished Bukh DV10M engine, Full suite of sails and storm jib, Gimballed Taylors brass cooker, Taylors Brass Cabin Heater, Sestrel Compass, Fully integrated Raymarine electronics including C Series plotter, ST40 Wind, ST40 Speed, ST40 Compass and ST40 Depth, B744 Hull Transducer, ST2000 Autohelm (fully integrated with plotter), Raymarine DSC VHF, Digital Yacht AIS receiver (fully integrated with plotter)

Safety equipment: Seago ISO 9650 4 Man valise Liferaft, 2 x Ocean Safety Commodore Lifejacket (auto), Ocean Safety RORC Spec Horseshoe, XM Oscar Man Overboard Recovery System, RORC spec Dan bouy, In-date Coastal Flare pack + 2 x White anti-collision flares.

2 x Numax (purchased 2013) 110Ah dual purpose batteries, 60W Semi flexible solar panel and twin battery solar charge regulator, CQR Main anchor and kedge, Full set of fenders, mooring lines, boat hook, deck brushes, buckets, cover etc, Hull fittings for Hydrovane self steering.

She is currently in full service and moored on the River Exe and is available to view. Mooring can be included in the sale price if required.

Sold: Steel Riptide hull, newly built. 'Ayesha'

           

32ft STEEL RIPTIDE HULL FOR SALE.

Length on deck, 32ft

Waterline length 26ft

Beam, 9ft 6 inch

Draught 3ft.8inch

She is built as follows,

KEEL BOTTOM, 12mm plate.

KEEL SIDES, 4mm plate,

HULL, 4mm plate to first chine.

TOP SIDES, DECK, AND COACH ROOF, 3mm plate.

FRAMES, 6mm x 50mm flat bar.

CHINES, 18mm solid bar.

She was build using grade 40B mild steel, mig welded fully inside and out, frames stitch welded to hull. All weld seams below the water line were dye-pen tested for porosity and any remedial work done, (there were 2 very small areas which were ground out and re-welded).

She was then grit blasted and immediately coated with an epoxy based blast primer. The main paint system was then applied which consisted of 2 coats of epoxy primer, 3 coats of epoxy under coat. She was then well keyed and top coats applied which were 2 oil based undercoats then 1oil based gloss top coat, she still requires further oil based finished coats, the decision to use oil base finish coat is so that it will be much easier to maintain where ever you are and it does not fade and go chalky in tropical sun as epoxies do, you can also obtain and apply oil based paint anywhere in the world.

She is a long keel cruising boat but she also has the option to have bilge keels fitted if you wanted to keep her on a mooring that dries.

There is a bowmar deck hatch fitted in the fwd end of the coach roof, and a traditional custom made opening hatch in the middle of the coach roof above the saloon area.

There is some of the internal joiner work fitted but this could easily be removed to give you a blank canvass to create your own lay out should you wish.

The engine beds are fitted as is the stern tube, rudder tube and rudder bearings, the rudder is also completed but requires painting, the steering is made to be via a wheel, and provision is made to fit an emergency tiller but the steering system could be changed to permanent tiller if you wished.

The cockpit has yet to be finished and was planned to be done in timber, but could also be done in steel if wished.

She is sitting in a purpose made cradle that will come with her.

'Ayesha' was not built to be a gin palace, she was built to be a strong live-aboard cruising boat that will take you anywhere you wish, she is the perfect size for a couple wishing to live aboard, and she could be sailed single handed if needed.

She has not yet had any ballast fitted and as such only weighs about 2 3/4 tons so you will be able to move her on a large trailer. I will be in the UK and available to help you move her for 10 days after the auction has finished, and she would need to be moved in that time as the property is being sold, I may be able to get the new owners of the property to extend that time frame for a short period but I will not be here to assist.

Please feel free to contact me to arrange viewing, which I recommend if you are serious about buying her.

The reason I am selling "Ayesha" is due to me now living in France and sadly will not be able to finish her.

Offers invited.....  Should be worth £5,000  or more.....

I can be contacted on 07739260499

cash payment would be the preferred method of payment

please contact me if you would like more pics of the build.

SOLD:  Pair of new STAINLESS STEEL Bilge Keels for Eventide 26

         

 

Standard shape and length fore and aft.. 59 inches, (same fore and aft length as the ones on F.G. ) However depth 18", a couple of inches shorter than mine, (as I deepened the main keel!) or I would have kept them for the day I needed to replace mine!   (Foot length 34 inches) Made from 8mm thick Stainless.

And yes I did say Stainless Steel!

These new plates were fitted to an Eventide but never immersed!   Boat was sadly broken up. rotted from the top down...  Coated black antifouling but the stainless is visible and obvious. Knowing how much a pair of mild steel ones cost over 20 years ago, these must have cost a packet!

These are a snip at £175.00 for the pair.     10% donation to EOG from sale.

SOLD   Collected from Essex.  (Got both in the back of my Moggy van OK, just!!)

SOLD:-  Golden Hind 31, 'Charisma'. sold as a project.

Photos show the need for cosmetic work...  Can we find a loving home for this much loved, much travelled  craft?

           

           

              

 

31 footer 'Charisma', building nr. 198. 

Built in Plymouth, UK, by Terry Erskine in 1979.

I bought her one year ago in Holland.

Bought her from a Mr. Korthals, who worked before in the yacht business in the USA, Florida.

He sailed  her solo from Miami over the Atlantic Ocean into the North Sea and Baltic to Scandinavia: Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Germany.  Then to the Netherlands.

He lived on her for a while here, but then met a lady and sailed away with her, selling the boat. 

When I saw the boat in a declining state, it hurt my heart. I had a carpenter with me to check the structural construction.  "Fine", he said, but the shining appearance had gone.

So I shipped her by road on a truck to Belgium and gave her a warm and dry nest in good old Antwerp.

The engine is in the front of the Charisma. It is  a Lister STW. Too rusty to be repaired, the technicians said. The two bilge keels are cut off. Another specialist job.  But I had to spend nearly no money for restoration of the boat,  she needs paint and sweat and of course a new motor. About 500 to 1000 hours to restore her to her originality. But she is still strong.

The masts, sails and all the gear, anchors  are still in good shape. But the deck needs two layers of laminated polyester or epoxy and a finish of poly paint.

I cleaned her inside and stripped all the valuable bits, as lamps, cushions, Baby Blake toilet etc. Have it all in my cottage, outside Antwerp, except of course the hull and Lister engine, it is under the roof of the Royal Yacht Club.

She is now a project with a sound hull, epoxied under the waterline, no osmosis and no hidden problems.

She is ashore in Antwerp/Belgium at the Royal Yacht Club, in a protected hangar.

I'm 72 years old and was a sailor and later a Belgian State river pilot on the  Sea Scheldt River for 30 years.

My price is about 2000 English Pounds to sell her. SOLD and now in the UK being restored!

SOLD (Eventide 24?) 'Sans Elan'

 

This vessel is currently in commission, moored on a trot mooring on the river Frome at Wareham, Dorset, The vessel is for sale due to the owners concern that at 76 he will not be able to continue sailing her single handed for much longer.

As can be seen from the photographs she is sloop rigged with a single long keel and transom hung rudder.

Built of 1/2 inch marine ply over a hardwood frame, she has been sheathed in fibreglass below the waterline and over all the decking.

She is equipped for channel cruising, having a sea toilet. Calor Gas oven with grill and two burner hob. navigation and steaming lights.

Nasa log and depth sounder, electric cabin lights, chart table, sink, two bilge pumps, 9hp Yanmar inboard diesel engine.

Two almost new 12v batteries, fenders, two anchors [with 100ft chain on main], halliards, sheets etc, warps, and cockpit cover.

The two main bunks and two cockpit seats are fitted with foam cushions with washable covers.

Included in the sale are a custom built road trailer and a fibreglass sailing rowing dinghy The owner is happy to arrange a short cruise in Poole bay, in order to show any prospective purchaser what she is capable of before purchase if required.

Editors note.  I have added a pic of her on a trailer now and from that I can say she may be similar in general hull shape, but not like any Eventide I have ever seen. the raked transom and rudder is totally wrong for an Eventide.  Were she double chine she would have been more like a Goosander 23!  Could she be a Yachting World People's boat?

All the above is available for £3,000 or near offer

Please note that the photograph is not a recent one and that the hull is in need of repainting

SOLD: Avon Typhoon 2.7 m inflatable

          

        

This is the tender from Fiddler's Green.  New 1998 and very carefully looked after.  No patches no tears, always kept out of sun, except on long passages, when stowed rolled on deck.  (dark marks on tubes are muddy marks from the grass, they should have been wiped off!)

Has slat floor, so rolls up easily but has good stability when in use.  Large tubes, means dry ride.  Very light at 44lb!

Blue nylon storage bag, pump, repair kit, (unused!), painter, Ali and plastic oars, two part and with captive rowlocks, so they cannot be lost. All in top condition.

Only fault is the two inflatable chambers have leaked internally and are now one?  Means you need only use one of the two valves to inflate it.  Does not leak.  The thwart is a separate inflatable part.

Replacing with smaller inflatable.

collect Essex.

Due to my lack of mobility following orthopaedic surgery 'Xercia' has not been sailed for the last few years. She was built by a local professional engineer and is extremely sound and well equipped. I am very much an amateur sailor but I am told she sails extremely well and is very suited to the coastal waters of Suffolk.

She has been stored on land at Aldeburgh for the past five years and has obviously suffered from superficial corrosion. She needs tidying up but serious remedial work would not be needed.

Sold £3500.

SOLD:  Atlantic Clipper 'Existence'

I make no excuses for showing every one of these great pics of her, Ed.

'Existence' is an Atlantic clipper prepared by victor and Olga and family over the course of several years and sailed by them from their home in Serbia across the Mediterranean and then across the Atlantic.   the preparation for this trip can be viewed on the Restorers pages, click here.

We have just completed a check list for the brokers here in the West Indies with the most full description of the boat.

The most wonderful thing about her is that she is just ready to go right now, because we were preparing her for ourselves and did not yet use even a fraction of her potential. That's why, as we've mentioned, we don't want to leave her unattended for a long time, because everything that is new today, will not be that new in some years. She has to sail on!

For Sale: Golden Hind 39.

 

This boat is for sale on Boat shed and we have been asked to advertise it.  She is believed to be the 7th built. Built 1980.  5 berth Steel built go anywhere boat!  She has a long keel but the ability to safely dry out as fitted with bilge keels.

Fitted with 85hp Bukh in 1985.  Lying Hayling Island.  Asking £38,000 ono....

She is partly fitted out inside and a good range of photos can be seen by visiting the site.

http://haylingisland.boatshed.com/golden_hind_39-boat-135024.html

According to the record books there were only ever 6 of these Golden Hind 39's ever made. We are now in a position to be able to offer for sale hull No7.

Ready to launch in 1987, a change of circumstances forced the project to be mothballed and it has stayed in store ever since. So, what we have here is, in effect, a "brand new" 30 year old boat.

There is still some fitting out to be completed but most of the component parts required are included in the sale.


This really is a tremendous opportunity for someone to buy one of these well-respected blue water cruisers for a very reasonable price and in a not too lengthy time frame be ready to set sail.

Golden Hind 31 Mk2 (Moonlight)

Built by Golden Hind Marine in 1994 for the Director Mark Urry as his own boat and as an example of the build and fit out quality the company were able to produce.  He coined the phrase MK2 after re-designing the rudder to remove excessive weather helm, improve handling under power and by moving the engine further back also improved the galley space and nav station. She has been epoxy sheathed from new

For Sale: Steel Riptide, project boat.

             

 

33ft Riptide (has been built with counter stern, Noontide?)   Project for sale

Hull is 90% complete needing the cockpit constructing a small amount of welding and some snagging on frames, It is constructed from 10mm plate for keel bottom, 6mm keel sides, 4mm hull and 3 mm cabin sides it has main bulk head fitted and engine bed and has a Thorneycroft engine fitted with Henry Meadows gear box also has stern tube, prop and prop shaft all correctly calculated for size of boat.

Although my father and I were not boat builders, I am a time served Fabricator welder the boat it built to a good standard and is very fair. 


It has a slightly raised cabin to allow for greater head room when fitted out it also features a lovely curved transom which I think sets it aside from similar builds, it does have its sail number and plans with it also.

The not so good bit is that it is rusty after being stood outside under cover for some time however the majority is still only surface rust and does have the advantage of removing any mill scale the inside still has mill scale on the plates

I am asking for offers over £3000.

May be SOLD: Golden Hind 28'6" 'Pink Gin'.

       

 

Pink Gin for sale. I now live abroad and cannot devote the time. It is number 7 built by Hartwell's. It now has an outboard 8hp 2stroke motor. The old Swedish Olin inboard motor is still in place, but needs work or replacement.

Work is needed on the starboard hull to cut out wood rot. Probably only carpentry skills required.. I treated the rot with ethylene glycol and glassed over it so it is benign. It needs painting. Will suit someone who has the time and skills.

Inventory

2 mains, one almost unused
4 or 5 headsails including storm jib, 1 jib and Genoa practically unused.
Storm trysail
Liferaft
2 Danforth anchors, 1 Bruce, 25m chain
A rudimentary self steering as used by Moittessier. It works !
Mahogany ribs, stringers and stern, iroko bottom
Single chine Plywood sheathed hull

Large cabin 6' 3" headroom
Displacement 8 Thames tonnes
Empty weight without mast, 4.5 metric tons
Bilge keel with iron centre keel.
Beam 8ft 2ins
Sea toilet
Wind generator
30 watt solar panel

I need to sell her, unfortunately. With a bit of work she'll be valuable.

The photo is of the glassed side.  The boat is in Emsworth on Chichester harbour.
The bare wood of the repair is the "before", the painted wood is the " after"

SOLD: Senior 'Moth'  Sail number 1041.

     

   

This is Moth as she is now...

And this is her a few years back...

The boat is in need of some TLC, with a few panels needing replacing. The mast also needs re-gluing and refitting. Other than that, she is the Bermuda-rigged Senior, with roller-furling forestay, stainless shrouds and bottle screws, one suit of sails, and bilge keels.


I’m open to offers for the boat. I may need to put some new brake drums on the trailer, so I would prefer to at least cover my costs, but my main wish is for her to go to someone who has the time and facilities to bring her back into order, as I don’t have the covered facilities necessary (it rains a lot in Lancashire). Also, we are looking to move house, so she will have to go whatever it takes.

The boat is currently in Rochdale, Lancs.

SOLD: Senior Shelduck

    

The time has come for me to sell 'Shelduck'.

My dad, Tony, owned her for many years before passing her onto me 9 years ago.

She is now painted and antifouled, and sitting on a elderly road trailer in Titchmarsh marina.

The photos below were taking on the Orwell two years ago and last week at Titchmarsh.

'Shelduck' comes complete and ready for sailing except she needs an engine, her sails are in good condition, there is a two burner cooker, toilet and echo sounder, but her road trailer does need work, it's fine for a yard trailer.

SOLD   (I was asking £1450 o.n.o. for her.)

SOLD; Golden Hind 28, 'Pink Gin'.

   

 

 

Pink Gin is Golden Hind number 7.

She was last sold in 2010 for £6000

She was last surveyed in 1990 by Eric Butler of Gosport. 

At that time the overall condition of the hull was good, and no disturbance was found between the wood keel and the iron ballast keel.

The Through keel bolts and Twin Galvanised plate bilge keels were all new in 1990.

The rudder was completely refurbished with new fittings in 1990.

The entire deck and raised topside structure was rebuilt to a good standard in 1990.

The Mast is aluminium alloy and the extrusion and its fittings were found to be in a good condition.

Re the fit out : New aluminium alloy framed fore hatch, vents, shroud plates, cockpit coamings and good stem head fittings/push and pulpit, stanchion bases, tabernacle, wood sliding hatch, wood grab rails acrylic cabin windows, alloy toe rail and wood rubbers.

Pink Gin was refurbished " as New" laid ashore between 1980 and 1990.

In 2009 the rigging was renewed and forestay. the mast was re-roped and all cables replaced.

There are 3 sets of sails. One main and genoa are completely brand new. There are 2 storm jibs and a life raft.

Currently apart from the areas of weak plywood along the starboard aft deck and the starboard side in a strip approx. 9 inches and 10 feet long the rest of the wood is dry and strong.

The hull beneath the water line is in very good condition and is still cascovered.

The ribs and stringers are all in good condition except 12 inches of one stringer which is next to the weakest part of the plywood on the starboard side.

The coachroof appears to be in reasonable condition.

The woodwork inside the cabin is in good condition also.

I have been sailing Pink Gin in Chichester Harbour until 2 weeks ago when I became a bit too enthusiastic with a belt sander on the starboard side as seen.

A local boat builder has looked over the area needing repair and estimated 40hours of work needed.

It has a Volvo Penta 14hp 4stroke 2 cylinder petrol inboard which starts and runs but begins to overheat after about 20mins. It was reconditioned in 1990

 

She is currently lying in Emsworth on a slipway

A project boat.

The price  is very negotiable for the right buyer

SOLD: 'Pandora' 27ft Kylix Class

       

Kylix27

Pandora is a Kylix 27 built by Bure Marine, Great Yarmouth in 1977. After a few years in Sweden she became Danish owned. I have owned her since 1988, and am now looking for someone to take care for her in the future.

Pandora is more or less original with no major alterations. She has been ashore in Copenhagen under cover for 3½ years, is now re-launched, afloat in Sundkrogen, Copenhagen.

Cabin and woodwork on foredeck has been stripped and repainted in 2015 with alkyd paint. The boat is generally sound without structural defects, but the bright work needs treatment and the interior needs a loving hand. The Sabb engine is a reconditioned unit installed in 2010. The sails are by Jeckells, main and jib from 95. Mast and boom and rigging are in good order. Both standing and running rigging has been renewed over the years.

A set of original drawings and the former owner’s correspondence with M.G is included.

Sold  for £ 3.500 . The important issue for me is to find someone who will take her over with the work it means. If you are interested, contact me for more detailed specifications and additional photos.  Pleased to say a buyer has been found from Norway, a wooden boat enthusiast...

SOLD:  GH31 'Marschallin'

Marschallin is a lovely 1981 GRP cutter-rigged Golden Hind 31 who gets compliments wherever she goes. Restored and extensively upgraded 2015-2016, she was launched March 2016. Currently lying afloat in Langstone Harbour, Hampshire.

Fun "selfie" video of Marschallin under full sail here:  https://vimeo.com/173738668

The Golden Hind 31 is a sturdy, characterful and extremely versatile little ship: its shoal draft and bilge plates allow it to nose up shallow creeks and take the ground easily, while its proven ability to cross oceans makes it a truly unique craft.

Marschallin was sailed from the West Country to The Mediterranean for 30 years, single-handed, by a gentleman who left her to his family a few years ago. They were unable to maintain her and we bought her in a sorry state in September 2015. We started extensive work on her to bring her back to life and get her on the water again, launched her March 2016 and sailed her from Falmouth to her new home mooring in Langstone Harbour.

She is a wonderful, seaworthy boat, roomy, comfortable and easy to handle, who gets compliments wherever she goes and from all kinds of boaters.

SOLD: Golden Hind 31 Cutter 'Thane of Lochaber'

 

This very well built boat has been in the current ownership for 17 years during which time the retired engineer owner has maintained her to a high standard.

The boat is for sale with a huge inventory, and has also in recent years had a number of upgrades.

Withdrawn from  SALE: Eventide 26, 'Polly Peacham'

   

As she was 2 years back.....

As she is now...

'Polly Peacham' is being sold on behalf of the late owners wife, by Keith's brother in law. Gordon.  sadly she is not in the best of condition and should be regarded as a project boat, but eminently salvageable.

Boat is marine ply, hull seems sound but dirty. 4 berth, galley, inboard engine.
Cabin roof is sound fibreglass.
Pulpit, guard rails and decks all sound
Mast is alloy and seemed perfect,  Cutter rig.  Stays are aged, may need careful checking before sailing.

Sails have been stored under a canvas cover for last 5 years, and probably weak. Foresails stored in boat cabin.    Main has been out on boom for a few years under cover, will need washing at least.

Anchor, 2 burner gas stove, gas bottle, oars, paddles, buoyancy aids etc. present
VHF radio and aerial working
Depth sounder believed working
Single cylinder Volvo Penta diesel engine fitted, was working until 2 years ago, but I could not hand turn it with starting handle 2 days ago, presumably stiff from lack of use. It has electric start and alternator, plus Penta control panel. I did not have a key hence hand cranking was attempted.
Electric bilge pump and battery present, working and used regularly.
Solar battery charger present but seemed to have allowed water ingress to solar panel.
Rot to decorative cabin sides, believed non structural
Rot to floor and seats at stern, will need replacement.
(Attractive clock and barometer are not included in sale of boat, unless added at extra price.)
Keels and rudder NOT examined.
Flue for solid fuel heater, heater removed.
heads type and condition awaits.

 

 Believed to be built  about 1964 by a boatyard in Ipswich.

This boat has been taken to a nearby animal sanctuary to be used as an exhibit  in memory of the late owner the Reverent Keith.  As he was a frequent visitor and she was not going to be sold in a hurry a fitting place for her to gently crumble away....

SOLD:  16ft GRP open sea boat. 'Seagull'

I have had a firm offer from Les of Erith, who has visited and inspected her.  He is to collect in January, but I will leave the advert up, for the time being. John

 

Replica of 1880's Thames Waterman's Wherry

A GRP, 16ft, heavy (1/2 ton) open boat. She is unsinkable but with 200lb of ballast internally for stability..  Buoyancy bags and foam filled bow tank.  Under sole foam buoyancy.  Painted externally with two pot poly paint in very good condition. She has been used as a demonstrator for my seagull engines.  (As you can see by the self adhesive  sign writing! (It will come off !)

She has wooden mast and spars and  a new set of sails,  tan spritsail rigged main and tan balanced lug mizzen, tan jib on bowsprit with Wykeham Martin Gear.

Has a short bowsprit and a bumpkin!  Mizzen slots into fitted hoops and main mast fits in gate, easily lowered and raised.  Mast stores securely on boat for towing and supporting the fitted cover.  Tows behind family car.

She comes complete with a pair of 12ft long sweeps, anchor and rope, (that stows neatly under the sole),  a bailer and sponge and fitted new Whale bilge pump.   Set of 4 good fenders, all in green socks, bronze, self stowing captive rowlocks.  Fitted with transom drain in bronze for  draining whilst in storage.. Coir bow fender.

Pair of  life jackets supplied.

There is a steel centreplate, yet to be fitted and a transom hung rudder to fit. Pin for pivoting the centreplate fitted in hull, blade slots in and is secured when top of box fitted.  Box full of bronze cleats, dead eyes etc. to complete the sailing gear.  She has never been rigged.

Outboard bracket offset on transom for long shaft British Seagull outboard. 

Comes complete with very smart, clean 4.5 hp electronic ignition Seagull 75 that has only been used for 20 hours max.  Maintained by me the Seagull engineer! Last used for 5 hours on the round Hayling Island Marathon, 27miles, in 2012.  Before that, a day on the Blackwater and a 4 hours cruise on the Blackwater and Chelmer Canal...

A real sea boat. Really looks the part.  Slips through the water easily,  with just a few pulls on those sweeps she is gliding effortlessly... This design is the result of eons of development culminating in a perfect shaped boat for sailing or rowing and very suitable for a Seagull. Remarkably stable hull and a safe boat in a chop!

Moulded from the last 1880's Thames Waterman's Wherry to operate on the London river. (Now in the Science museum.).

Built in GRP in the early 1960's and used as one of 6 such boats, to train the lads of the King Edward the VII Nautical school at Deptford.  Retired in about 1985 and purchased by me and converted back to it's original rig with centreboard and plate, mast and sails etc.

She is on a galvanised, braked, West Mersea Trailers, break back, easy launching trailer, with sprung loaded rear rollers to assist recovery. Wheels do not get wet! One man operation.  Winch with webbing strap for recovery... spare wheel.

Fitted cover for storage and trailing. Made by Lonton and Gray, 2015.

At present in Tillingham, Essex, on very roadworthy trailer in our garden..

£2250 or very near offer.

SOLD: Eventide 24 Cris Hawk.

   

  

24ft Eventide Classic – for sale as project.SOLD

After 8 years of service, it’s time for me to move “Cris Hawk” onto an owner who has the skills to ensure it stays up to scratch.  Professionally built of Iroka planks on Oak frames (Gibbs & Sons, 1973), I’ve been renewing kit & trying to keep abreast of the work.  But this is a hobby of life, and I think it’s time I bought something plastic.  When I bought the boat I replaced the standing rigging.  Since then I have had all the bearings in the saildrive renewed, the top end of the single cylinder air-cooled diesel (by Ducati!) has been reconditioned, the water pump & two bilge pumps have been replaced,
and three years ago I splurged out on a new mast by Collars, and new sails from Downers (euro 2k each for those).

The boat can sleep 3, has a separate heads, a mast that can be lowered single-handed (and raised single-handed if your up for hard graft).  Moored in Waterford city, currently sitting on a trailer at my house – so easy inspection.  I usually sail her single-handed  down-river, then between Dunmore East & Hook, but have enjoyed multiple trips to Dungarvin & Kilmore Quay (also made it to Ballycotton once).

So why a project ?
Unfortunately, I hit a rock a few weeks back, and while no planking was cracked, my garboards need to be re-caulked on both sides.  Also the surveyor who looked at it for me advised that it’s time the keel bolts were renewed.  This sort of work is beyond me (& my purse), so I am open to all reasonable offers.

If you’d like to see Cris Hawk sailing, have a look on YouTube, where she can be seen off Hook Head.

I live in Waterford on the South Coast - about 1 hour from Rosslare ferry-port.

SOLD:- GH 31 GRP project boat...'Charisma'

   

   

 

Golden Hind 31 GRP 'Charisma'.

This is a project opportunity for someone a little younger than myself.

She is one of three ketch rigged Hinds that Terry Erskine built.

I have had a lot of experience sailing these wonderful boats and intended to rig her as a sloop; no need to move the mainmast chain plates. I have the main mast but no boom.

Some idiot has painted the original Treadmaster with gloss paint; obviously had a death wish, so that needs sorting out.

I have the pulpit and guardrail stanchions along with the stainless wire and old standing rigging. There is no cooker or sink or toilet and all the old plumbing has been taken out. She needs rewiring. All the seacocks are good and free.

The old Lister engine has gone to the noisy diesel graveyard and I have a brand new Beta 30 still on its pallet complete with oil cooled gearbox, shaft coupling, mounting feet, galvanised mounting brackets to fit onto the original mounts, and engine control panel. It also has the larger alternator.

Charisma has crossed the Atlantic no less than six times and has been as far east as the Black Sea. She deserves another chance to show what she’s made of. I have photos of her with her first owners. Her sail number is 198 and she was completed in September 1978.

She is currently in my yard near Stranraer SW Scotland.

If you promise to take me sailing on her one day, you can have her with the engine for £3500.

SOLD:  Golden Hind No 114, a repair project!

       

The pictures all taken after salvage and clean up.

After being lovingly restored, painted and polished she was launched and placed on a mooring at Tollesbury a year or so back, only to sink  a few days later on the mooring.

She spent a week on the bottom at the tidal mooring and a week up on the hard after we moved her full of plastic drums. She was towed in on a high tide and recovered back to  the yard she had just left.

She lost a bilge keel.  The bottom of the hull needs repair and a new plate fitted.   Or the old bilge plate could be salvaged, it is still stuck on the bottom near the mooring at Tollesbury.

Has full Rig, sails, roller furling.  Sails not valeted since but in good condition when put back in bags.

Some running rigging.

Bruce anchor, loads of chain, Taylor's diesel heater Jabsco loo, self-steering gear. Compass.

Will need more cleaning inside, new batteries, some new wiring.  Will also need new upholstery and cooker.

Winches all working 

Lister inboard got working shortly afterwards and still free,

Rig stored away in rack. 

Boat at Trevor Greens yard Tollesbury.

But must be 'sold as seen' buyer to satisfy themselves on inspection.

Offers on £1750.!!!!

(Now where else could you but a GH31 for that money that, with work, you could sail away on!)

Maybe For Sale:  'Maplin Maid' Maurice Griffiths Bawley.

 

As she is now, awaiting TLC.

And how she looked a few years back!

Details of Maplin Maid

26ft. Thames Bawley designed by Maurice Griffiths.

Built by Johnson, Jago & Sons, Leigh on Sea. 1965

 6.5 tons. Cutter rigged, with small bow sprit. Sails are white. Variety going back 8 years or so. Slab reefing. Aluminium mast and boom.  Galvanised rigging.

Powered by a replacement 10h.p. Saab Diesel Engine.  Motor 1967, running well - she never misses a beat.

Fully equipped. VHF Radio, echo sounder, navigation lights, electric winch.

Anchor, ropes, fenders, davits.

2 gas rings and grill.

She needs a considerable amount of work to restore her to her former glory as she needs some planking repaired.

I have had her for 26 years and she has been a comfortable, sea kindly sailing boat.

Sadly over the last 4 years, due to my own health problems, she has needed attention that I have been unable to give and this is not going to change.

I really would love her to go to a good home where I know she will continue to give pleasure and be cared for.  I know she would be a really worthwhile project in the right hands.

She is ashore at Tollesbury.

I would like some monetary return for her, but willing to consider any offers. I would be delighted to get £4,000. this is negotiable .

This boat was in Tollesbury ashore at the Saltings company, sadly the phone number no longer worked so advert removed.

Maybe For Sale: 30ft Waterwitch 'Jenny B'

       

 

The boat is a "Waterwitch" 30 foot, iroko on oak built by Dempster Smith in 1978; I bought her about 5 years ago from him. In my experience engineers always over engineer their own projects and she is no exception.

She is moored in Lossiemouth Marina and sails Spey Bay and the Moray Firth.

Four berth, 25hp Kubuto engine and dog house for weather.

Changing circumstances means that, unfortunately, she is for sale,

Dempster, the builder, was an engineer and like most engineers when working on their own projects totally over-engineer the product; three pieces of timber when one would do; two radios, two auto-pilots,  brand new spare propeller as well as a complete tool kit etc. anti- fouled, anode, new prop., new batteries and some lines.
The belt and braces builder also believed in spares; complete set,   new spare alternator, two auto pilots, spare sails, etc. She has a full inventory.

She is due out shortly for a version of 'Coppercoat' (10 year anti-foul) which Lossiemouth marina is sponsoring.

Can be seen Lossiemouth Scotland.

She is listed on boatshed,

May Still be For Sale: Lone Gull I 'Beachcomber'

As she was a year back

cockpit before restoration...

And how she looked a few years before that...

A 28ft MG Classic! Anyone interested in taking her on? Needs a little work.

28ft on deck, 25ft on the waterline, 10ft beam and 3ft draft. This one has no plate.

Mahogany on elm with oak transom. Johnson Jago built her- started in 1939 but not launched till 1945. She has no centre board, big bit of iron on the bottom with pig iron in bilge, all nicely primed and stowed. The saloon was recently stripped to wood and primed and painted nicely, although I threw out all the cushions!

She is ashore at Odessa yard in Newport on the Isle of Wight and has been so for over a year.

I have done a lot of work on her over years, a new main bulkhead was put in whilst the cockpit was being replaced, ribs have been sistered, bulwarks scarfed and timber heads repaired, I had asked for a new transom whilst I was away working (I am a commercial skipper- or was I should say) but only 3/4 of it was replaced so needless to say, the other 1/4 now needs doing.

Other works required include hatches- all need attention, galley needs rebuilding- blank canvas at present, there's no electrical system or instrument, mast is good but standing rigging was stolen at the yard she was at before Odessa, so let's say she is a project! The hull is solid though and she exudes character and coziness nonetheless.

She has 2 suits of sails, one a bit shabby and one virtually new, all spars and running rigging, bow sprit may need some attention but I refurbished the mast a few summers ago and as we were going to put it back up in the air discovered the standing rigging had "gone missing". I have a note of lengths and diagrams of how to.

She has original compass, navigation lights, oil lamps, Bukh 20hp inboard, engine spars inc internal anode, new pipe work around engine and tanks, a great windless (can't remember the make) pansy charcoal stove, there's lots of paperwork and history with magazine articles etc. um what else can I write? She's a lovely little yacht!

Surveyors Comments in 2014

These are well built vessels originally and this one in particular would appear to have been built by somebody who knew what they were doing.  She appears to have been well looked after.  This vessel is quite suitable for sailing in waters for which she was designed.

Owners Comments

My wife and now 10yr old daughter and I have had the pleasure of sailing Talland since summer of 2014.  We have had some good adventures sailing around the Norfolk coast and some scary ones.  Talland can take some rough weather and we have had fun sailing her.  She has been craned out in the winter and kept well maintained as did the previous owner.  She is good to go for many years.  We are selling as we are looking to sail further afield and longer distances so buying a new boat.  Talland has been a great first time sailing vessel and our learning curve.

Lying: Fosdyke Yacht Haven.

Price: £5950.00  (Seen for sale on EBay for £5,000) Price greatly reduced, offers over £1000!!!! Haggle with  Stephen!

SOLD: 'Ivory Gull' a Lone Gull II design.

 

   

It is with great regret that we are selling Ivory Gull, but circumstances have changed and James will be living much further away.

Ivory Gull is a 1991 Lone Gull 2, 28ft. twin mast schooner, with GRP hull and the most amazing internal fitting out in Maple. In the last four years a lot of refurbishment has been carried out, including new sails, battens and covers, all running rigging and much of the electrics.

The boat has been rigged with simplicity in mind to give the minimum amount of ropes (all led back to the cockpit). on the davits there is normally a rigid dinghy, which is presently stored elsewhere (to keep the Marina  costs down). there is a sea toilet, paraffin cooker and a very efficient  diesel heater.

There is one double berth and two singles and a fixed table in the centre of the main cabin.

We are looking for about £27,000 Sold for substantially less!!!

A very full inventory, but we would really prefer the boat to go to a real junk rig enthusiast (or someone who will potentially be one).

We understand this boat may be sold!  Will the new owner step forward!!  It was seen recently on 'Saving Lives at Sea'!!!!  Got into trouble and was rescued...  New owners??? No, that was Clive and James, got into trouble after the Heritage boats rally in 2017...  James injured.  All ended OK!

SOLD: 'Jorrocks II'

     

   

     

 

 

Jorrocks II is sadly for sale for family reasons. I have owned her for 20 years and during that time she has undergone an extensive refit, while retaining her original layout. She is one of only two yachts built to this atypical Maurice Griffiths design; the first one was his own (Wild Lone II, now Wild Goose, launched in 1935) who was so admired by a former High Sheriff of Essex that he bought a set of her plans and commissioned the Leslie Harris yard at Burnham to build him a similar yacht. That yacht was Jorrocks II; she was completed in 1936 and was the last to be built at the Harris yard. She is truly a classic.

Jorrocks’ overall length is 35’7", beam 9’3" and draft 4’7". She is a Bermudan cutter, her hull planked in pitch pine below the waterline and mainly mahogany above. The mast is spruce (stripped back, refinished and currently in storage, as she is laid up unrigged in a mud berth on Faversham Creek) and is keel stepped. Her boom is also spruce, the spinnaker pole is Douglas fir and the bowsprit is pine. Internally, she has teak joinery and oak beams. The tiller is of varnished teak as is the cockpit (stripped and re-varnished this summer). There are 2 anchors; a main 35lb CQR and a 15lb CQR. She comes with a wooden dinghy that stows on the coach roof between the doghouse and the mast.

The accommodation from aft consists of a lazarette accessed via a hatch in the deck which contains a fuel tank to starboard. The cockpit has seats port and starboard, with a hand bilge pump situated under the port seat. The companionway is amidships with the engine below it. There is a quarter berth to starboard and storage to port.

The saloon contains a settee berth each side with fresh water tanks below, and storage behind and forward. There is an enamelled Faversham solid fuel stove, a teak table, and the sole throughout is of polished teak planking. A door leads through to the central galley which has a sink and a gimballed paraffin Taylor stove with two burners, grill and oven to starboard. To port there’s a door into the heads with a large basin and loo (mostly Baby Blake, but with a modern Armitage Shanks pan because the original one cracked when a bowl full of crockery fell in it!) There are doors to the fo’c’sle which contains two more berths plus an infill so that a large double berth can be created. There is stowage below the berths, and forward of the berth there is storage and chain stowage.

Ten bronze ports are fitted in the teak coamings, and prismatic deck lights in the deck and cabin top. The deck itself is of thick tongue and groove pine, covered with marine plywood, sheathed with woven rovings and epoxy resin, and painted cream. The engine is a three cylinder Volvo Penta 28hp which has been maintained and regularly started and run.

Jorrocks has various sails of various ages, none very modern, including the mainsail, working and storm jibs, and staysail; she still has her original Egyptian cotton spinnaker which is very effective in light airs. As far as her sailing performance is concerned, she is very well balanced, not at all tender, and speaking as a small person of no great weight I can only say that I’ve never found helming her difficult in any weather. I have sailed her up the East Coast, down to Southampton and most frequently across the Channel to France, Belgium and Holland.

The close-up photographs of Jorrocks’ interior and of the cockpit etc are contemporary (mid-September 2014) and the rest were taken a few years ago (the black and white one was taken during the Swale Match). There are more photos that illustrate an article I wrote about her that was published in Classic Boat magazine, should anyone have access to the June 1997 edition.

I have all the invoices and records of the work carried out during my ownership.

Her asking price is £35,000. XXXX drop the price to £27,500 but would be happy to discuss price with anyone genuinely interested.
