Interesting boats for sale

Here is the old ad. Pictures show a nice cutter configuration.

Lovely interior but that is going to be a hard sell. Might want some condiments with that beanie! In one ad it's double diagonal in Andrew68's ad it's strip plank! looks like the same boat. Wood is the word that's going to slow down prospective buyers even though it will outlast all of us.
This yacht was a local boat I have admired for years. Now resides in Port Stephens. Down to half it's original asking price. It's strip plank and the photos don't do it justice.

Both ads say double diagonal planks epoxy glued and nailed ect .......from the first ad ..... " Built of New Guinea Hardwood. She is a strip planked cold molded construction 32mm thick. The fist skin is 22mm concave/convex planks laid from bow to stern with each plank epoxy glued and fastened with silicon bronze fastenings to each other starting from the keel and then in turn copper roved through the frames. Another 10mm plank is laid diagonally at 45 degrees and glass epoxy sheathed. "

This yacht will sell fast at around this current price !!! if necessary i will add some salt and pepper ,but it wont be happening as some lucky buyer will snap this up

that cole 34 is a nice looking jigger as well !!!

Bargain cruiser with a Perkins.

great looking yacht inside and out !! My only criticism is having the engine so deep in the bilge . I wonder how difficult the water pump access is .

VW Golf diesel. The water pump would be a lot easier to get to than on my Volvo where I have to lay down on my side in an awkward position.

No takers at $7k, auction finished with no bids.

Will be interesting to see what he does next. That is a lovely boat and a gift at 7 grand. Hard to get people to turn up and look at boats for sale in country areas. It would really suit a solo sailor wanting to step up from a Tophat!

Not a boat but the Monitor windvane has just had a price drop to $800!

Hi Ramona,

Quick question. As my boat has a sugar scoop stern (Hunter 356) and is accessed through the centre is it possible offset mount a windvane ? Or would it need to be on a hinged system to swing sideways to allow access.

I'll have a look in the morning. Hydrovanes can mount off centre but I think your always better off centre mounted. Local Mottle 33 has one off set mounted but I think you would be better off with a servo system. The photo is a Beaufort windvane mounted on a sugar scoop stern. Shiney new Monitor would look good on a nice SS frame work!

perfect .....the wind vane frame forms the grab rail for the ladder access !! win win !!

I remember following her feats in the 79 Admirals Cup . What an event that was .

Would make sense to mention in the ad that she is all alloy!

As I said originally very short on info.
Reading the Facebook page says he has spent a lot on it so far .
So wander what is included

From the Gumtree ad there is an engine, old sails and winches all good quality. Interior is empty. Still good value.

It seems to have had a big price drop since I last looked at it.
Does anyone want to guess it's IRC rating?

Check out the photo section on Police car's Facebook page. The current owner has done a lot of work! Interior is empty and much would depend on what the next owner plans for this boat.

Interesting design for dealing with mast compression/rigging tension. I think I prefer Prof Joubert design on your Currawong, Ramona.

Very different boats built for different things.
