Sangria….French yacht

[Neeves]

I've got this mouldering in my garden, perhaps you need to compromise on your requirements?

.... I bought the hull, with centerboard and rudder last week for €80 as the rig has been sitting in my garden shed for a good few years. .... they can be had complete for a few hundred euros

... but joking aside, maybe you should be looking at a large trailer sailer? .... or at least a boat with a trailer - you could then look all over Europe and restore and sell the trailer once you got it home to recoup some of the money.

You posted the wrong picture, or I need a new dictionary - that vessel looks very 'unmouldering'.

It's in the very early stages , although the sail number does seem to indicate that the rig dates from the 70s - the hull is from around the same era - none of the later changes seem to be present - the hull doesn't leak and even the self-bailer is watertight.

Similar to the minisail I had in the late 60s…….my father was the south coast agent..another failed enterprise

According to the owner it’s a 8kw Yamaha……..are there spares for that engine?

More likely an 8hp Yanmar YSE, I think.

I've posted a pic of it on the PBO forum so more knowledgeable people than might identify it.
What make/model is this yacht engine?

Yep, one of those 'on it's side' Yanmars.
