I wouldn't take that on the local boating lake let alone sail anywhere!

Could be perfect for a weekend....

Isn't it traditional for such boats to have either a sail (or motor)?!?

What amateur wrote that description? Here's how they should "sell" it:

RARE! You are buying a Professionally Weathered Nautical Vehicle, would make a great addition to any marina. Mint in box (under the cabin seat). UNBOXED, will be well-packed for postage. Floated well last time I sailed in it, unfortunately I do not have any possibility to test it now. Hull may need some attention.

You guys have nee (no) sense of adventure

And in my earlier post, did I say it had to go into the water?

Nautical-themed N-gauge layout "shed" in the garden?

Anyway looking at the advertised location, I have to wonder if it's a Poole-era model.

Nothing wrong with it that a few dozen rolls of duct tape wouldn't fix.

Bealman · April 17, 2015, 11:02:43 AM

Either that or full of pigeons

Wouldn't want to go too mad with the tape, though Malc.

Lovely comment!

This craft would suit the man who was rescued 5 times on the South coast in his home-made boat sailing for Australia with a AA road map as guidance!

Another amateur. He should have posted himself.

I think that it's another challenge for our Ozymandias and does it come with free life jackets as I can't swim.

I'm back at Chez Bealman after my Tasmanian interlude and I was glad when I landed in Sydney but all that rowin' took it out of me
