For Sale: Golden Hind ketch   'Safrel'

         

          

 

The Golden Hind 31’s are one of Maurice Griffith’s most popular designs. They have completed numerous ocean crossings but at the same time they are capable of navigating shallow waters, and drying out upright thanks to the long keel and bilge plates. They are spacious and comfortable to live aboard, with over six feet headroom throughout. The ketch rig gives flexibility and easy handling, and the materials quality is high – the cabin sole boards are one-inch thick solid teak, and most of the exterior woodwork is also teak.

  ‘Safrel’ was built to a high standard in 1976 by Terry Erskine in Plymouth. She has had only two owners, last changing hands in 1999. The hull is GRP, with solid mahogany coachroof sides and epoxy-sheathed ply decks. A taller mast and a bowsprit were added by the first owner, to increase the standard rather conservative sail area. She underwent a very comprehensive re-fit/rebuild in 2001-2, including new engine, electrics and upholstery, and the installation of a proper navigator’s station in place of the standard drop-down table. Since then much else has been renewed or refurbished – for example, all-new canvas work in 2019, bilge plates grit-blasted and epoxied in 2021, and she has been consistently maintained. All receipts are available. She is on the Part 1 Register.

Description

 

This boat is a 1949 Alan Buchanan designed 19ft Wild Duck Sloop. The original owner started building this beautiful yacht in 1979 and took meticulous care in how he did so, using quality materials. He first launched her in 2016. She is constructed with ¾ inch Brazilian Mahogany on an Oak Hull – Edge nailed strip planking with Cascophen Adhesive. She is epoxy sheathed to her water line and is fitted with a 10hp Beta Marine Engine.

 

Sellers comments

 

I discovered the boat where she has been left out and suffered some neglect from the elements. I spent several months restoring her with the help of professional services who re-caulked the teak deck and restored some of the woodwork. She is painted with marine paint by ‘Skippers’ (Colour Avorio - Ivory) and was sealed with an epoxy coating and antifouled before she went back into the water in 2021. Repairs were made to the vessel’s mast and the engine has been serviced by a former RNLI technician, although with only 28 hours use, it is in superb condition.

 

She is a real classic, meticulously built over 37 years with love and commitment. She is in great condition due to a lot of work to restore her from where she had been left out.

There are minor areas requiring on going work as part of her general maintenance, some of which are inside, but nothing outside of normal expectation for the management of a wooden boat. I would like to see her go to someone who has a real appreciation for this style of boat and the craftsmanship, materials and history behind her. She really is a most seaworthy solid wooden boat with, style, character, and charm. I am confident that you will not find another ‘Wild Duck’ anywhere which is built to the same standard.

 

Please see the attached two you tube videos for viewing along with some before and after photos from the current owner’s restoration.

For Sale:  The Famous Eventide 24, 'Borer Bee'

                             

                        

 

This is one of the very first Eventides to be built, sail number 3!  She was  sailed from Singapore to the UK in 1958!

She has been through many owners and we hoped that the present owner would be restoring her to sail gently on a lake in the north somewhere, sadly the owners health has suddenly deteriorated and he is forced to sell.  Step forward a competent woodworker and enthusiast, to save this little bit of history.

She should be on the 'Classic Boat' register.

 

Famous Eventide number 3, 'Bora Bee'. See article on logs page of the  Eventide website about the return voyage from Singapore to the UK in 1958.

She is in very good condition and does not need much work. She is hardwood built.

Work needed.

1. Small amount of rot on the transom coaming.

2. Repair at foot of mast for crack and some rot.

3. Standing rigging is required.

4. Bilge keel shoes need replacing.

She has a full set of sails and all the spars.

She did has an outboard  bracket on the stern, but still has the sterntube and shaft etc. so an inboard could be fitted again.

She sits on a heavy duty road trailer, the hitch has just been replaced.

I have invested over £5000 in saving Bora Bee, she needs a good home.

I am returning to the USA for medical treatment and cannot complete restoration.

 Price £2500

'Borer Bee' will be moving to Cambridge in October.
