CURLEW

Bought from a pattern maker (very competent wood worker) 18 months ago as a back to bare restoration project. It has been dry stored in a barn. Has to now be sold due to a change in circumstances. The project is 1/2 way though but very worthwhile completing as the boat’s condition is excellent. Fully documented and support will be provided to finish this project.

Status:

Hull, mostly stripped back to bare wood, the intention was to apply epoxy and thin layer of glass as a tough layer for painting. A couple of minor patches excellent condition with no rot. Sand keel recently and probably keel boxes have been replaced.

Mast and boom: manufactured recently from wood, thicker than standard mast section. Standing and running rigging. Needs sanding and varnishing.

Engine: Yanmar 1GM10 back to bare re-spray and full service. New pipe work, fuel tank etc. see photos. 2 batteries. Some electrics but would recommend rewiring.

Keel mechanics: fully serviced and painted. Keels removed and shot blasted.

Toilet/heads: original porcelain bowl in working condition, new pipes and bronze vales and hull fittings.

Interior: folding table, 2 new saloon bunks and lee cloths, all hatch covers and sole boards, nice drinks cabinet and chart table.

Other items: CQR anchor and chain, rudder and spare, fenders, warp etc. Lifting shackles and strops for 3 point lift.

Road trailer: Nicholson 3500 in good condition and fully roadworthy.  Good tyres (spare included), brakes fully overhauled, never immersed.  LED Lighting board included.  Includes chocks/supports.

 

Engine and boat will be sold as a single package. Ideally with the trailer too, although providing the boat sells first this will be sold separately.

Asking price for boat and engine £1500 and trailer £2500.
