Unusual yacht for sale

Just thought I'd draw your attention to this! Funny looking thing, and you'd want to be careful with that bowsprit!

You could have a lot of fun in a marina with that.

28' LOA and 56' including the prodder! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Jaunty, I think you'd call it.
A great looking little thing, lovely craftsmanship and some one has gone to a great deal of trouble, but......

Why?

 

[TimBob1989]

Master and Commander wannabe maybe? Not very practical it has to be said, but I really like it when you find someone nuts enough about boats to build something like that... Want a fair whack for it mind you!

Hmmm, shame there are no canons. Stap me though, what a price..................

Another one for Jack Sparrow?

She was ashore in Totness a few years ago, agree she's unusual but the standard of construction was amazing, I was told by the then owner (Aussie John),that she'd been up the Amazon and all sorts. I still have one of the brass oil lamps off her which was given to me at the start of sailing our restored 5 tonner from Devon to Hartlepool. She was massively built and coppered below the waterline. Lovely boat built by a craftsman for his own use on a backbone built by a well known yard in Scotland if I recall. Regards, Mike.
