Magnificate vessel is great condition. I have had this girl for 15Yrs and am the third owner. Origionally I fully restored her but then found some rot in winch blocks. I pulled these off and then put her into a shed where we had the decks professionally fiberglassed by Milkraft and new winch block built and installed. I have not finished her as 2 yrs ago I suffered a very serious medical incident. While against the odds I survived it has left me with less energy and side effects from resulting medication. I am looking to transition her to a new owner who has the love, passion and skills required. She comes with many extras including the origional set of bluprints(plansd) lots of bits and pieces and a couple of leatherbound logs from the 50's. I also have houn pine boat boards (6" X 15/8"up to 20' long) and teak available should the next owner require by negotiation. In the meantime I will continue to undertake maintaince and work to keep her up to standard. She has been slipped every year since being launched and the hull is in amazing condition no issues and no leaks. She is incredibability well built with the houn planks being 1.5" thick on triple laminated ribs 3X2" with 9" spacings. Mast is origional and timber is spruce. The pics of her on slip are straight after being water blasted last year, other photos were thake a month ago. Great family boat with approx 7' headroom in main cabin. Very easy motor to work on with good access. Engine oil has been changed very regulary and motor is like new inside.
Last few pics are from when I did the full restoration and a pic of the previous owners who had Taralye for 35yrs. They flew up from Melbourne and I took them out sailing for the day. They told me at the end of the day that I would never just how much it meant to them that I had the boat and she was in such condition. It is said that good boat dont change hands oftern.
