Hi Funkymonkey

Well I imported her from the states a few years ago since which time she has been rewired, re-plumbed, re-engined and totally refurbished throughout.

She's a Marine Trader with twin 120hp Fords drinking a miserly 3gph at cruise. Lovely stable boat with the range to get down to the med if required (2000lt fuel carried!). Would be a great liveaboard, med boat or travel through the canals!

I lived on her very comfortably in Plymouth for over a year but family circumstances changed dramatically and that dream had to come to an end so unfortunately she will be up for sale next month.

Anyone wanting further details, let me know.

Regards

John

Sorry to hear that, she really looks the biz for your original plans.
A couple of friends of mine, after spending some days on my boat last year, are now beginning to consider something similar, so they might be interested.
I can pm you my email, when you'll be ready with a specs sheet and your asking price. Good luck anyway.

Here's my offering (shortly for sale!)

A gorgeous boat you have there.

Very nice!

Thank you for your appreciative comments, she is a beauty so it is sad that she has to be sold.

For those of you that have expressed interest, if you PM me your details I'll forwards sale details when they are ready.

Regards

I'm open to correction on this but I believe Rick has disgraced himself, not just by becoming a raggie, but by getting a catamaran.

No wonder he never dares show his face

I had the great pleasure of a guided tour of the Elling; what a fabulous boat.

And here is his fine new ship.....

Its ok guys......he now has two engines compared with the Elling's one!

Do you always need to wear a crash helmit?

You must be older than you look Richard!!!

Nah, That was a Coastguard helicopter crew on exercise. Dropped from the sky on a wire and scared the cr*p out of SWMBO!
Hence the aerial photo!

Sort of, I remember my Dad getting it and of course I did work experience with the great Kim when I was very young...

 

[Loggo]

Thought I had better fly the flag for the river boaters

'Come to think of it this is a canal actually !

Anyone remember "Hedley" when she was on the Thames around ten years ago ?

 

[Richard Shead]

Yes it was a large Broom or Ocean? or was that with a C?

Pic's of my Rapallo - hard top is custom

 

[Kipper]

That is a very nice custom hard top did it cost a fortune and was it worth it?

It was done before I bought the boat, and was a major factor in deciding to buy the boat. Being realistic about the Irish weather, I didn't fancy relying on a canopy to shelter from the more inclement weather - the hard top changes the boat completely!
