What's it Worth?

[Herald]

Going to have to sell "Herald" due to change in job and lack of time to both use her and give her the time that any wooden boat demands. Any ideas what she would be worth?

1911 Canoe Stern Sloop
23' x 6'6'' x 3'6''
Pitch Pine on Oak with Teak decks
Yanmar YSE 8 Inboard

You already know she's worth more than anyone will pay for her.

12-15k.

Sorry to hear that she is for sale. I sailed on Herald a few times when she was at Kames. It would be in your best interest to get her advertised by a professional and certainly someone who has knowledge and contacts with the French/Italian market. They go daft for this type of boat.

As an aside, my parents have now given up their Robert Clark, 'Lassiette' but the good news is that my brother is taking her on. We've had her now since 1972. My Mum was distraught at the thought she would go elsewhere.

Edit: probably about £5-10k all depending how much work she now needs to bring her up to spec.
