1962 GRP for sail

The real problem people have selling anything like this is that people are not able to borrow as freely as they did so if the seller has no access to finance it is a very poor market. If he gets more tha £3K I would recon he is doing well, what ever the boat is really worth.
 
It's definitely a real boat, last time my boat was on the hard at Holyhead, it was next to this one. The mast/boom looked a bit tired (as you would expect) but I didn't notice anything obviously wrong with it.

If I was in the market for that sort of boat I would buy it at that price.

The compartment on the left opens up and the door joins with the one from the cupboard opposite. A curtain goes over the top part and another closes off the forepeak. No basin and certainly no shower! It certainly needs some tidying, some of the cushions are original (46 years). Somebody will get a bargain with that engine in the boat if prepared to spend a few years pulling it all together.

Now there's a thought ;)
 
Good solid boat for possibly not miuch money. could be the reference to sloop/cutter is you could hoist an inner jib up the baby stay (if she has one).

New engfine and Osmosis treatmewnt done must make it an attreactive boat to someone?

I'm thinking £5-6k possibly, I've seen better boats go for less and way better boats (modern well equiped with engine heater lift keel etcetc) go for 12k.

It'll be costing a few k a year to keep or in deteriorating value.
 
So we assume he's relying on the final bid, £2250, from the previous listing when it didn't meet the reserve, now lifted, and if the bid still exists that's what it goes for. If things were a bit different I would go for a look and have her lifted, see if the osmosis treatment went wrong, look at the underwater fittings, and make an offer.

the bid might be his mate;) rather than rely on a reserve:cool:

Possible in any case, but it was previously listed, nine bids up to 2250, did not reach the reserve. So does that bid stand? I would have said the bidder could not be held to it.

You're correct. As the bid did not reach the reserve the previous auction has finished without a contract being made. This is a new auction without a reserve, just a starting price of £2,250 (with no bids yet and 20 minutes to go).

It is worth noting that the seller has put in writing that the buyer can have a survey (at the buyer's expense) before parting with any money. Doesn't actually say what happens if the survey reveals a significant fault, but I would expect that this would be the equivalent of an offer to buy "subject to survey" so the buyer could either withdraw or negotiate a reduced price.
 
Somebody got a stunning bargain I reckon & the owner must be gutted.I'd never have sold it like that with no reserve.
Certainly puts a lot of the boats you see just sitting around in boatyards for sale not going anywhere in perspective!
& as for the new boat market:eek:
