One of a Kind Sailing Yacht Designed by the great Knud Reimers.
This special boat closely resembles Knud Reimers personal yacht.
Sails extremely well and handles rough water like a dream
Built in Gosford in 1982 - Its a stretched Tumlaren (29ft) but with room down below as it has an extra 3 feet and a deep keel. Can sleep 2 with timber interior
and white cushions for cockpit and interior in good condition for its age.
Edge on edge glued timber hull beautifully built with epoxy - To build this today with these materials would be around $100,000
I have owned the boat since 2017 and have repaired the motor and replaced the Aquadrive with a new Python drive imported from the Netherlands.
New prop and shaft were added at the same time. Replaced engine controls with modern controller and repairs the gearbox which is like brand new - Has a 10 hp Sole engine with low hours with a reconditioned starter motor and alternator and new water pump - Starts first crack each time - 2 new marine batteries.
Has dual solar charger and solar panel which keeps both batteries charged all the time.
Has a full set of sails and 2 spinnakers and the rig is in good condition but will be due in a few
years for check and perhaps lift and service - Mainsail is old but in good condition Headsail is
hanked and in very good condition - There are several other headsails as well, all with hanks in
varying condition but all usable.
Plastimo AT 50 auto helm which I have never used.
Built in toilet with new seacocks.
Cockpit board has been refreshed but needs a paint job.
Anti fouled December 2024
What needs work:
The original teak overlay deck needs replacing - but when that is done the boat will be worth around
$50,000 - General timber work also requires varnishing.
Light cosmetic timber damage at various places on the yacht.
I was planning to replace the teak deck with a new ply one - easter to service as only would need
painting.
Equivalent boats in Canada and Europe are priced at 80K and more.
I have made significant investment into this boat and now its time for someone to complete the work.
