NEW LISTING - 1978 Rival 41 - SELKIE - Mark Cameron Yachts - Specialist Sail and Motorboat Brokerage

It 9k more than your 50k limit but everything is negotiable and a year later, another 5k on storage will be realised, so might be keen to sell. I think it is good price. There is also one at 90k for sale in Belgium which is a very high price for this marque.

I have no association with the brokerage, boat or seller.

A Corribee and 48k worth of fun

Thanks.

I had over a decade's 'interesting experience' of a Rival 34, and a few more miles on a Rival 38 - and agree the marque's solidity.

That's an attractive example.

The green marine radio kit shown above the coffee chart table looks like an Aalborg Sailor R108 SP - not that I know owt about such stuff - and isn't listed as among the kit included..... Prob'ly good for pulling in 'Sailing By' in out-of-the-way anchorages.

Good kit!

If I didn’t have a young family the thought of my own tall ship to run adventure sailing charter trips on is quite appealing! What’s less appealing is the thought of the cost of annual anti fouling a 80ft long keel tall ship!

The 60hp engine is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Can you explain why? The commercial yard who built it obviously considered it adequate?

60HP will be enough to move the boat if there is no wind.

My boat is smaller, much less windage and has a 85hp engine.
I cannot make way into a gale at full engine power. I am down to 2 knots when motoring with full power against a F6.

I doubt that that boat could make any way into a F5 and will be tricky to maneuver in a marina if there is any wind at all.
I doubt it is powerful enough to spring off with an F4 pinning you to the fuel dock!

IMHO It needs double the power.

Interesting perspective. My guess would be that because it was designed as a liveaboard they didn't envisage a great need to punch into weather - you just stay where you are, or arrive a bit later. Doesn't look like a marina queen either to me, and they've managed 40 years with their paltry 60hp - it can't be all that inadequate.

What? Are you suggesting a 80ft metal boat with 3 masts & associated rigging currently being sold for <£500/foot could possibly be harbouring some eye watering maintenance costs?

I did a guestimate on an online antifouling calculator for the tall ship. It suggested around 45litres of antifouling needed! Ouch!

Peanuts compared to the other costs.

Not at all.
Nor is Garelochead in any way the place where unloved old boats go to get abandoned
This patticular one doesn't look unloved - provided the pictures arent a decade old

There's an Open 30 for sale, inside budget. I could perhaps 'Do A Jester' in that....

Aye, that.

I'm of an age when club members would expect me to rock up with an elderly Twister or Cutlass 27.

I'm sure you can imagine the comments if I sailed THAT onto my club mooring, then went in for a pint.
