Advert Description
Well maintained and unique best describes her as I have added a masthead (running backstay) set-up to her 33ft mast to compensate for not wanting to use the spinnaker single-handedly. There was another scruffy International 23 touching 18.7 knots on Youtube, I have held over 12 knots through the water on Unity (not club bar speak speed) across the bumpier Bristol Channel!
She has a gas lift boom and one peace stack-pack with lazy jacks. The Laminate mainsail was recently serviced and the headsails are very good the blade inner is nearly new! She has a Lewmar 44 self-tailing winch (set up for multi-use including anchor retrieval) New 3 years ago at nearly a grand.
The bunks are deep snug and comfortable as are the helm seats (with lap straps). There is a possibilty for 2 small births forward. The 4-stroke 6 hp Evinrude outboard is old but reliable. It had a new thermostat and carb rebuild in 2023. It is due for a fresh spark plug and oil change (full synthetic) though fully functional.
As you can see she is well equipped with a navigation table featuring the ever-popular Garmin 128 (linked to the VHF for DSC (emergency position) or nav check readout on plotter and VHF. She has 2 x 50-watt solar panels with individual MPPT battery monitors, a Clock Barometer, and a Depth sounder. At the mast are a log, colour plotter, and renowned for accuracy 'stow' trail log (Eric Hiscock used the same around the world). She also has a super Anchor (with roll over circle bar) strong enough for a 40ftr vessel yet only 8KG
A twin burner and grill cooker is installed with a work surface beneath when it is elevated. The hulls can be slid together as per the pics.
She is currently securely moored and neaped in her (free of charge) out of commision birth.
The price is less than cost to me as thousands spent and many hours of work so although I am in no rush she is for sale due to potential health issues??
