Message from the Owner

Because I can no longer get on or off my boat I am prepared to take a reasonable offer around £8,000.

I spent £2800 + on engine and refurbished hood cover and main sail.

She now needs to be lifted and anti foul with sacrificial anode change which involves removing propeller.  I am prepared to pay for the lift and anti-foul.

I am prepares to accept stage payment from a club member or I will allow a competent person to try her out in return for overseeing to lift out etc cost of materials by me.

Absolute genuine opportunity to sail a boat that is capable of going anywhere in right hands.

I am in possession of original hardback ship registration.

Registration up to date.

She was designed by Robert Clark who I believe designed British Steel and Gipsy Moth, my wife.and I sailed her to the Helford River when we were in our mid sixties without any problems.

I am open to any sensible offer.
