$9600.00 AUD or Best Offer
Dick Newick design. Newick is a legend in the multihull world (the "Val" series is iconic).
Professional Singapore build with extra-strength glass layup and the German-built foam core.
A vessel is a two-ton beast that "rips in light air" yet is rugged/agile enough to sit for months on a beach allow for ease of launch, cross oceans and be handled solo.
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. Newer Tohatsu auxiliary. 5 hp Tohatsu Aux.
Furling System
Reef-furl' furling jib, (furlings. Com) provides ease 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.
Single Handing Setup
Ninety-nine per cent of my sailing has been solo, fishing under sail and cruising 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 self-tailing Lewmar and Barlows.
Cordage
Cordage either newer Samsion, or at most, have one season of wear. New sheave in main halyard.
Sails
Sails are in good condition, mainsails, with three reef points (full batten) and 180 per cent roller furling jib with UV strip. Reefs auto reef from cockpit.
Electronics: AIS with GPS and VHF radio. AIS registered with Indonesia/Dili Customs. Sailed for check in successfully conforming to required electronics and documents during both check in/check out from Indonesia and East Timor in. 3x 500 nautical mile passages.
New Depth Sounder. Tillermaster 2000 heavy duty auto pilot with blue tooth remote. Gadgetry, yes, but you can steer while tossing the anchor or having a beer on the bow.
Heavy Duty Solar System
Fangpusun PWM Solar controller PRL3030 30A for 12V 24V PV system
Extra-large panels were once capable of running refrigeration, (FRIG. NOT CURRENTLY INSTALLED) etc.
One week of use on Achilles Inflatable Dingy with like new 5 hp HP Tohatsu Outboard and Oars which also serves as a 2nd engine auxillary. Added 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
Bags and bags of cordage. Top of Line Samson.
New Trampoline. USA made uv coated.
