Hurley 22 with junk rig

[dgadee]

I was sorting moorings on this in Granton harbour this morning. It has been lying afloat for a couple of years and inside is not meant to great, but the junk deck gear looks good and well spec'd (not the sails). The elderly owner wants rid of it. Anyone looking for something like this? Contact the Forth Corinthian club. Wouldn't usually post something of this nature, but it looks an oddly interesting project for someone. I would not imagine much money is involved.

No-one interested? I have some pics. Two outboards, self tailing winch, needs a bit of tlc. Think of Mingming. You could be up in the frozen north with this.

A few decades too late for me on that particular one, but could be a great opportunity for the right person.

Here's a taster:

That jumbo sized harken block is possibly worth more than the boat!

I had to re read that, at first I didn't see the second m.

Sad but possibly true

Have you tried the Junk Rig Association?

I won't post the internal images. It does need a good clean out.

Edit: but still floating so hull sound.

Never heard of them. Are they Chinese?

It might also be worth advertising on the jester challenge facebook group. I bet they are the ideal niche group for this.

I don't do FB. Perhaps someone could point them here. Nice, solid little boat and the junk fittings have been done well.

Well, the mast was brought out of the boat today and it is going to be lifted out 11th April. I think it may be on the way towards the angle grinder. If no one wants the whole boat, may be they want the bits. High quality blocks, stainless fittings ...

The owner seems to be in his 90s now and just wants rid of it.
