Trawler Hull |
||||
$5000 |
Unknown, probably post-war | LOA--20'-0" Beam--8'4" Draft--2'-0" approx |
This
ex-fishing trawler will make a good 'fixer-upper' for an
enthusiastic wooden-boat-person. As a working trawler she
was based on Lake Macquarie, but her registration was
changed from commerical to pleasure-craft in the 1970s. The present owner bought her from shipwrights in Newcastle on their closure. His intention was to convert her to an open day-boat, with oversize benches and possibly an electric motor. However his attention has become fully focused on his second boat, and he no longer plans to restore this one. The vessel is presently stored under cover on a registered trailer, waiting for her new owner. The opportunity therefore exists for a dedicated wooden boat enthusiast to breathe new life into this lovely old trawler. This vessel's hull planking is of oregon and is apparently all original. The planking appears sound, but some time and effort will obviously be needed to bring her back to life. The present owner has indicated that the trailer may be used at no charge to transport the boat to her final destination (within reason). When she has been restored this vessel will clearly make a lovely day-boat -- roomy, comfortable, and sea-kindly. |

LOA--22'-6" LWL--18'-7" Beam--7'-9" Draft--2'-6" (c/b up), 4'-2" (c/b down) Displ--3800 lb Sails-- Engine-- |
Miss
Polly is a lovely double-ended 'Grey Seal' from the
drawing board of Iain Oughtred. She is rigged as a
sliding gunter sloop. She was built using modern
glued-ply clinker construction with rose gum frames,
knees, and joinery, and carries bronze fittings
throughout, together with a lead keel. This is a very comfortable pocket cruiser, primarily designed for sailing of course (at which she is excellent) but also carrying a demountable outboard engine for use in calms. She is fully-trailerable and because of her construction can live permanently on a trailer if desired, although the present owner has always kept her on a mooring. Her owner has cruised Miss Polly from her home port in New South Wales to Great Keppel Island and back, a round trip of approximately 1400 nm. He says of her, "This boat is so easy to sail and light on the helm that it was easy to steer and work the boat all day". Miss Polly's equipment includes a 25 lb CQR anchor, a separate kedge anchor, 20 fathoms of 1/4" chain, warps, fenders, compass, VHF radio, PFDs, an EPIRB, flares, paddles, and boathook. She is fitted with a Thetford head, and her galley fittings include a methylated-spirit stove and removable stainless steel sink. |

Kestrel is
a beautiful example of the 'Snapper Boat' gaff sloop
designed by David Payne, one of Australia's foremost boat
designers. The design is based on the traditional snapper
fishing boats of Sydney. Kestrel was
clinker-built by Boyne Island boatbuilder Warren Smith,
and is constructed from two full hoop pine logs,
copper-fastened. She has laid decks, and all her
fittings, including centreboard and fuel tank, are of
stainless steel. This vessel has had very little use and is virtually as new. This is a very seaworthy vessel which, as the owner says,"sails like a witch." She has generous freeboard and built-in buoyancy compartments which make her a safe vessel to sail, even for relative beginners. These two facts make the Snapper Boat one of David Payne's better-known designs. Kestrel's engine has been totally rebuilt, and the vessel comes complete with trailer. |

Benson & Shaw, Mordialloc, c 1950 |
LOA--12'-0"" Beam--4'-8" Draft--0'-9" |
This vessel
was built in marine ply in Mordialloc by Gerald Benson
and Major Shaw, aircraft engineers who adapted their WW2
experience in building plywood aircraft to produce
Australia's first plywood boat in 1946. The vessel, launched around 1950, was fully restored in 2001, the plywood skin being replaced entirely at that time. All the original metal fittings were retained during restoration, and the vessel is still equipped with her original oars.The original 3 HP Chapman Pup engine has also been retained but has been completely overhauled, gaining a fully renovated magneto and replacement rings, bearings, and carburettor in the process. This vessel was proudly exhibited at the Goolwa Wooden Boat Festival in 2001 and again in 2005, and has also been shown at traditional wooden boat festivals at Davistown, Narooma, and Tweed Heads She comes complete with the trailer shown, on which she may be permanently stored. And like the vessel, the trailer has also been restored, including provision of new springs, axle, and wheels. |

Hirondelle canoe |
||||
$5500 |
G Seyler, c 1935 |
LOA--15'-9" Beam--33" |
This is a
traditional 'Canadian' canoe, built by the famous French
boatbuilding company of George Seyler Ainé, established
near Paris in 1893. Build date of this canoe is not known
but is thought to be around 1935, making her truly an
historic vessel. She is of very strong carvel
construction, having copper-nailed strakes on
closely-spaced frames. She was brought to Australia by
her present owner, a member of the Monaco Rowing Club,
after being restored in Monaco where she later went on
display. Her hull is apparently all original and is in excellent condition. She is fitted with two seats, the backs of each of which can be folded flat. The seats themselves can also be removed altogether. The bottom boards are of course also removable to allow the hull interior to be properly cleaned when necessary. This vessel was designed to be sailed as well as paddled and is equipped with a mast step and partners, but regrettably both paddles and sailing gear have been lost over the years. Paddles are readily available from a variety of sources however, and an enthusiast could also develop a new sailing rig for her if desired. In Canada a canoe such as this was used for long voyages, carrying goods and equipment along wild rivers. In Australia it is perhaps more likely to be used for lazy summer picnics in quiet waters under the trees. |

This lovely
motor boat has had several owners in her long life, all
of whom have taken great care of her. Having been
launched in the Tamar River, she has spent almost her
whole life in Tasmania, although she had a short sojourn
on the Gippsland Lakes. Her present owners have been her
trustees for the last five years. Rhelma is a very comfortable motor cruiser, with two full-sized berths in the deckhouse and a further two-and-a-half berths in the saloon. The forepeak contains the head and also provides plenty of storage space. The raised topsides forward mean the saloon and forepeak are very spacious, and the deckhouse is large and airy. Equipment includes a gas stove, an electric/gas refrigerator, galley sink, hydraulic steering (two helming positions,) VHF radio, electric anchor winch, and two bilge pumps. The Perkins engine was rebuilt in 2004/05, since when it has run 150 hrs at most. Finally, Rhelma comes with full walk-in walk-out equipment--life jackets, lines, cutlery, crockery, etc |

The first
person ever to circumnavigate the world single-handed was
Captain Joshua Slocum, a "naturalized Yankee"
from Nova Scotia, sailing from Boston in his sloop Spray.
Spray was originally given to Slocum as a
derelict, having been "propped up in a field"
for seven years. She was rebuilt by him to his own
design, essentially from the ground up, before he set out
on his epic three-year voyage. He published an account of
his adventures, "Sailing Alone Around the
World," in 1899. Slocum and his circumnavigation
inspired many later sailors, and his sloop a host of new
vessels called Spray. Despite sharing the same
name, however, very few of these later boats owe much if
anything to the design of Slocum's original Spray. The vessel listed here does. She was not only inspired by Slocum's Spray, but in fact was built to Spray's lines, and thus a true replica of the original vessel. Slocum visited Port Phillip in Victoria during his voyage, and Spray so pleased a Mr Shaw of St Kilda that he obtained her lines from Slocum. The keel of Shaw's own Spray was laid by Melbourne boatbuilders J B Jones Shipyard in 1908, but the Great War intervened and the new vessel was not launched until 1925. She was unfortunately damaged during a gale in the late 1940s, and when she was repaired the opportunity was taken to lengthen her by eight feet at the same time. Ketch-rigged, this is the vessel we are now proud to advertise for sale. As befits a classic Australian sailing vessel, her hull is huon pine, the deck is celery-top pine, and the house is predominantly huon pine, all on a hardwood keel and deadwood. Masts and spars are all oregon, and were refurbished in 2007. Standing rigging is a combination of stainless and galvanised, renewed in 2007. Running rigging was replaced in 2008. Accommodation--Spray sleeps seven in four cabins, and also contains a large saloon, chart table, galley, head, and forepeak.She carries six foot headroom throughout, and was equipped with new bedding and upholstery throughout in 2008. She also contains-- On-deck equipment
includes-- Spray is under
USL Commercial 1E survey for 35 passengers. She is the oldest vessel of her type in Australia, and possibly the world. |

'Gannet' sailing dinghy |

$14,000 |
I Oughtred/ M Wilson, Canberra, 2001 |
LOA--14'-5" Beam--5'-8" Draft--0'-8" c/b up, 3'-4" c/b down Sails-- Weight--260 lbs approx |
This very
nicely presented Gannet dinghy by well-known designer
Iain Oughtred is rigged as a stemhead gunter sloop. She
is a conventional sailing dinghy of the more modern
planing type, of which the designer says there is "a
little more influence here from current trends in racing
dinghy design; the hull has a generous flare forward to
keep her dry, and this flare is to an extent carried
right through aft. This... adds to the stability if she
heels too far in a sudden gust... and makes the boat
ultimately more seaworthy." This particular example is built in the glued-ply clinker construction typical of most of Oughtred's designs. Mast, yard, and boom are all No 1 clear grade oregon, and the tiller and extension are silver ash with teak grip. The vessel's rudder gudgeons and pintles, forestay fitting, chainplates, towing eye, mast cap, and sheaves are all marine bronze, standing rigging is stainless steel, the blocks are Norseman/Gibb, and the sails are dacron. The dinghy comes complete with a fully-adjustable McKay trailer with tilt tray, on which she may be permanently stored. |

G Jackson/ D Wickham, Adelaide, 2002 |
LOA--12'-6" Beam--4'-11" Draft--0'-9" c/b up, 2'-4" c/b down Hull weight--180 lbs approx Sail-- |
A delightful
and extremely characterful sailing dinghy, this 'Marisol'
skiff designed by the New Zealand naval architect Gifford
Jackson is una-rigged with a sliding gunter mainsail. She
is equipped with buoyancy compartments fore and aft
which, combined with her generous freeboard, make her a
very dry and comfortable vessel to sail. Her construction is very strong, being of ply strakes over sawn frames, the strakes being both glued and clench-nailed in copper. She is fitted with a tiller-actuated lift-up rudder. She can safely be stored out of the water when not in use. This vessel comes complete with the aluminium trailer shown in the pictures. She is of course equipped with oars, but can also be rigged with a small outboard motor if required. (Note that the Seagull motor shown in the pictures is not included in the sale, although a similar motor can possibly be made available as an additional extra if required.) An outboard mounting bracket is part of the package. Oars and all spars can be fitted inside the hull when being trailered. This skiff comes complete not only with oars and trailer, but also with fenders, a boat cover, and storage bags for the dagger-plate, rudder, and tiller. This is a fine day-sailer for one or two adults, with or without a small child as additional ballast. |

LOA--10'-6"
Beam--4'-3" |
This
beautiful small skiff has been designed and built by a
professional boatwright, using glued ply clinker
construction. She has been styled on a Thames skiff, with
design elements of a Dorset lerret evident at the bow. She is finished with cedar and teak trim, and has fitted seats with cane inserts. She comes equipped with bronze rowlocks and mountain ash oars. This skiff has been kept by her owner in a yacht club and rowed from there, but could be car-topped to other destinations if necessary. She comes with a wooden launching trolley. This is a perfect vessel for a leisurely picnic on the river for two -- consider Ratty and Mole paddling gently along a quiet backwater under the willows.... |

Caoimhe
(pron. 'Keeva' and Gaelic for beautiful) is a lovely
double-ended gaff cutter that lives up to her name. She
was built using modern glued-ply clinker construction.
This is a very comfortable cruiser that has been given a
new engine and navigation aids in the last twelve months. Caoimhe is a fully-trailerable vessel, and her custom-built tandem trailer is included in the price. Navigation equipment includes a new DSC radio, split screen chart plotter, and autopilot. Other equipment includes an Origo two-burner stove in the galley, both electric auto/manual and manual bilge pumps, a new manual/water-activated EPIRB, new flares, and four PFD's. Because of her construction, this vessel can live permanently either on a mooring or on her trailer as desired. Both the vessel and her trailer are presently registered in Victoria. Caoimhe comes complete with a custom built 6'-6" balsa sandwich tender equipped with both oars and a new 2 HP Yamaha outboard motor. The tender can stow in the cockpit when the vessel is being trailered. As you can see, this is a complete, sail-away, package. It is regretfully only available for sale because of the ill-health of Caoimhe's present owner. |

This very

been professionally maintained by her one owner since
new. She is in excellent condition, being last slipped in
2008, and she carries Lloyd's Registration.She is
carvel-laid of spotted gum with internal fit-out in
cedar, and provides over 6'-0" headroom throughout. Accommodation consists of saloon with galley and chart table, fore-cabin, and forepeak, and includes four berths. There is a separate head. The galley contains a stainless steel sink, ice box, and two-burner gas stove, and the vessel is equipped with VHF radio. Zephyr is fitted with a 20 gallon freshwater tank and a 16 gallon tank for diesel fuel. The inboard diesel engine is in a separate compartment under the cockpit. Zephyr has an aluminium mast and boom, and stainless steel rigging. This vessel is now regretfully for sale as part of a deceased estate. As such she comes with all gear presently on board, including all owner's records since launch, and a tender is also included in the price. The price itself is very low -- anything but a reflection of the vessel's quality, but an unfortunate consequence of the necessity for her sale. |

P Gartside / Denman Marine, Kettering, Tasmania, 2010 |
LOA--10'-0"
Beam--4'-2" |
This
beautiful professionaly-built vessel, insured for
$24,000, is in pristine condition. She is brand new,
having been launched only once from the ways by the
builder and never sailed. She is fully rigged as a
traditional lug sloop, is of course provided with oars,
and comes on a galvanised Dunbier trailer with stoneguard
protection and spar rack. This vessel is complete with
everything needed to row or sail her. (She is even
supplied with PFDs for her crew.) And everything is
absolutely brand new. Construction is entirely of classic Australian boatbuilding timbers. The huon pine planking is completed with contrasting king billy pine sheerstrakes, on celery-top pine backbone and frames. Transom and stem are of huon pine. Quarter knees, hanging knees, and breasthook are all made from grown huon pine crooks. The thwarts are of king billy pine, while the burden boards are swamp gum. She is fully copper-fastened, being fitted with bronze rowlocks and rudder fittings, and with brass half-oval on the keel, bilge runners, and stem. The interior below the rising is painted, while the remainder of the vesel is finished bright all over. The balanced lug sailing rig includes mast, yard, boom, timber centreboard and rudder, and a traditional cream-coloured sail. Fans of Arthur Ransome will immediately recognise the similarity of this vessel to the Amazon of his 'Swallows and Amazons' stories. This is a classic traditional sailing dinghy, not only destined to repay her new owner's investment several-fold by providing many decades of pleasurable enjoyment, but perhaps indeed by also becoming a family heirloom. |
