Push the boat out: Price drops in Essex
This week we have further opportunities for those who are looking for boats for sale at attractive prices. For each of these featured boats we have a slideshow of images so you can really get a feel for the boat; inside and out.
Junk Rigged Schooner Sharpie now £35,000
Professionally built by Harvey Eastwood of Brundall this Junk Rig Schooner had her engine rebuilt in 2004 by Harvey Eastwood. The engine was stripped down fully rebored, new pistons and bearings- ie virtually as new condition. There is also a Sterling Battery Charging System.
The Schooner launched in 2005 is based on an original Selway Fisher design, the Loose Moose Sharpie 35, re-designed to produce this 38ft yacht with a wider beam. The final layout designs and coachroof were VIP Harvey Eastwood designed, and the boat was built by VIP Harvey Eastwood of Norfolk.
She has been owned from new by her current owner and is a very well constructed boat, the hull is marine ply epoxy cloth sheathed from new.
A sturdy yacht with good sea-keeping qualities and good performance from the schooner junk rig. If you are looking for a seagoing yacht with character then this could well be the boat for you.
This steel sloop has been reduced for a quick sale - A 9.0m Yacht for £5K! It does need some finishing touches and a new Genoa but it’s a bargain!
She was built in a reputable Dutch shipyard in the 1970's to a Classic style. Her current owner has recently added a lot of equipment.
Our broker Steve says,
“She is a charming and well constructed boat and although she needs a few jobs finishing, they are not major. Well worth the asking price!”
The Carter 30 is a robust cruiser racer having a lead keel and keel stepped mast. They have an excellent reputation for sea-keeping in all weathers coupled with very good sailing performance.
This yacht had a new diesel engine and sail drive professionally fitted in 2009. The engine has only completed 290 hours since.
Although the Carter 30 performs well it is not at the expense of a stripped out interior; as explained in the original brochure:
“The Carter 30 has a fast easily driven hull designed giving room for a really comfortable accommodation plan, and the boat has sufficient displacement to carry the accommodation without impairing the sailing performance.”
