Very sad circumstances indeed, nice bloke, some how came to grief getting on board at anchor.
Walker H28 bargain.
I have been keeping this one to myself, but regrettably I have decided it is a little bit too big for me to single-hand.https://www.boatsales.com.au/boats/details/1980-herreshoff-28/OAG-AD-16665551/?Cr=2
She is in excellent condition, clearly been professionally maintained, and rigging replaced 2015.
Current mooring is round the corner from the CYC in front of billionaire's homes, but pretty rocky. Anyway it is not available with the boat.
Great detail features like built in toilet pump-out tank, dripless shaft seal.
A lovely classic.
This has been for sale for a while but looks like a great buy.

Good value!
That Mottle is a good buy. Will need a furler conversion though for an old bloke to singlehand. It's obviously been a serious racer at some time with the mainsail reefing lines back to the rear of the cabin. The two jib feeder gadgets hanging off the headsail foil there for the foredeck crew to assist with headsail changes. The water stained timber work will never come back though but that's OK. Lot of boat for 15 grand!

yeah looking at the photos it probably also needs;
- a re-rig
- a Dodger
- ideally mainsheet moved to the top of the aft cabin
Looking at $10k minimum!!
Why would you need a dodger? Two Mottle 33s here and the first thing I would do if I owned one would be to toss the dodger.

A dodger is probably one of the best things I have done to.my Mottle .
Granted not the best for going forward but he shouldn't be going forward offer.
If you have a female onboard they really appreciate it.
I still have my traveler on that cabin top just ran to the mast and now goes to a winch on cabin behind dodger.

Could it possibly be that some people like and prefer to have them? Just a thought.

Looks like it doesn't have an oboard included but obviously this is easily addressed.
UFO 34 back on the market again. Lot of boat for the money no matter what the condition

This yacht is my screen saver on my yachts computer.
Here is a nice boat for sale
yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/international-8-metre-varg/241442
I believe the cost to build her was over a million dollars which makes the current selling price seem reasonable
She is local boat built down here on the Huon in 2014 and she will be missed in the race fleet when she sells
This video about her is worth watching
This is a local boat I know well. Requires extensive steel repairs to the deck area. Interior is excellent.

She was probably a dream in her heyday but she looks like a nightmare today.
You know it well and I may be wrong but I do not think it is a cost effective fixerupper.
I sold my VDS 34 for $300 after buying it for $35k and storing it in the yard in Maryborough for 7 years @ $250/month. About $50k loss.
The upkeep on a steel yacht is just too intense i.e. daily.

I'm certainly not going to buy a steel yacht but this one has one of the best underwater shapes I have ever seen on a steel yacht. The interior is in all solid teak. The boat is chock full of quality stuff, the clock and barometer etc would be worth heaps. Thought about buying it a few weeks ago for the mooring and stripping the boat for all the goodies but it would be a waste of a good interior. I would like the three blade feathering prop. I already have the Aries off her. Seems to be attracting a lot of attention on eBay. The new owner is keeping the mooring for his new boat.
Like you say, she is worth less than the sum of her parts.
The hull shape looks very sweet. Do you know what design she is??
Gotta go soon at this price Contessa with diesel

the owner has had the boat for four years , wouldn't you think he may have thought to clean the mold from the cabin ceiling ? silly bugger, he could have advertised for a fair bit more with no mold !
