Renovated with reliability, safety and practical trouble free sailing in mind, 'One Mo' Time' (OMT) is an extremely well kitted out and built (under survey), excellent example of the practical, sturdy, comfortable, fast, seaworthy Swarbrick Space Sailer 38 monohull design. Recent rigging report with new pin to pin SS standing rigging, new headsail furler, brand new Yanmar motor(2023), new marine wiring, new electrical and electronic devices, new windows, gas system overhaul and current gas certificate are just some of the features of OMT. She also has an extensive inventory. The renovations completed in recent years include:
New pin to pin stainless steel standing rigging installed May 2026 with full rigging report;
New Profurl C320 headsail furler, May 2026;
Gas system overhaul with current gas certificate;
Brand new Yanmar 3YM20C diesel motor commissioned April 2023;
New motor controls and Yanmar instrumentation, April 2023;

New flarepack; March 2026; and
Other new things which I'm sure we've forgotten.
One Mo' Time (OMT) has a brilliant Targa setup with integrated bimini, spray dodger, tender davits, tender motor bracket and solar panels. The solar panels sit behind the end of the boom keeping them out of its shade, ensuring reliable charging during long sailing trips. There is also a Victron shore power charger and all batteries are charged from the alternator when the motor is running.
There is approximately 400 litres of fresh water storage and 90 litres diesel storage built in.
The majority of the sails were purchased new in 2019/2020 and include a large main with 3 reefing points and boom bag storage, #1 genoa and #3 headsail with UV strips, #4 yankee, spinnaker with mast mounted spinnaker pole or removable bowsprit if preferred. All controls lead back to the cockpit which has 8 winches. The cockpit is reasonably large and has a table/s. Cockpit cushions are also included. Bright LED cockpit lights are installed.
Ground tackle includes a reliable Rocna anchor on 50m of chain and a large second anchor. A long anchor warp is also included. The mooring lines are 16mm nylon lines.
Below decks headroom is good in the saloon at over 6 foot. The galley has a large fridge, cutlery storage, sink and Rinnai oven/grill with 2 burners. Saloon has chart table and seats on either side with dining table. The seating can be turned into a single and double bunk. Two double cabins are installed at the stern and a V berth in the bow. The cabins have doors. There is a lot of storage both under the bunks, in cupboards and enclosed side shelving.
Raymarine electronics including multi function display, AIS, pilot and ACU with top of the range linear drive.
Plenty of extras, spare ropes, rigging including 'Wychard Gybe Easy' and other goodies also included.
Some cosmetic timber work would be nice to do.
