Singapore Sling:
Relocated to Dili Harbor, Timor Leste. Best kept secret, a magical hub for cruising. Added auxilary engine and aluminum canoe. Best offer takes on a gernan built, foam core, grp two ton beast that rips in ligjt air and crosses oceans. Dreamers please dont bother me, but by all means scroll the dingy ads.
Singapore Sling, a Val 2 - 31, was designed to be sailed single-handed and so, whether busting through chop, reducing sail in high winds or mooring/anchoring, with a small amount of familiarization and practice you can confidently handle most any situation solo.
Power: Most revered by local Indos and expats alike, 15 HP 2 stoke Yamaha Enduro with four Yamaha tanks. Low hours. New Tohatsu auxilary.
Furling System
Reef-furl' furling jib, (furlings. Com) provides ease of of handling and control in a bullet-proof design. Control ease translates to efficiently reducing a 180 per cent genoa down to a 70 0r 90 per cent jib with remarkable efficiency. Best of all, no winch required. U
Single Handing Setup
Ninety-nine per cent of my sailing has been solo, fishing under sail and criusing to country of East Timor.
Top-of-the-line Spinlock clutches allow for handling halyards, topping lift, and reefing system, all to be controlled from cockpit. High-end self-tailing Winches. All lines to cockpit, including reefing. Winche are elf tailing Lewmar and Barlows.
Cordage
Cordage either newer Samsion, or at most, have one seen one season of wear. New sheave in main halyard.
Sails
Sails are in very good condition, including two mainsails, one in use with three reef points (full batten) and 180 per cent roller furling jib with UV strip. One storm sail.
Electronics: AIS with GPS and VHF radio. AIS registered with Indonesia customs and has been used successfully during both check in/check out from Indonesia and East Timor, couple of 500 nautical passages.
New Depth Sounder. Tillermaster 2000 heavy duty auto pilot with blue tooth remote. Yes, you can steer while tossing the anchor.
Heavy Duty Solar System
Fangpusun PWM Solar controller PRL3030 30A for 12V 24V PV system
Extra-large panels capable of running refrigeration, etc.
One week of use on Achilles Inflatable Dingy with almost new 5 hp HP Tohatsu Outboard and Oars. Aluminum canoe. Achilles used twice for rego trips to Timor. Achilles LS2-RU inflatable boat is a lightweight tender with a roll-up, slatted deck. This is a very convenient inflatable that can manage a four plus horsepower engine. Highly portable. Only 57 lbs., 7'6 Length. Hypalon. Paid a fortune; look it up.
Cordage and chain
Bags and bags of cordage. Top of Line Samson. Two cruising anchors and 15 meters of new chain and snubber. Massivd 50 kilo oversized anchor, (negotiable as needed), capable of using for long-term offshore Mooring.
New Trampoline. USA made uv coated.
