met up with a guy that likes to tinker around and upgrade boats. something in the 40ft range that was a Flash during her time but now can be IRCed. anybody out there got an old like, farr-40od or ILC-40ish that they just want to dump?

[Somebody Else]

I, too, would like a beat-up old Farr 40 to reno.

How about it, lads? Anyone need to dump and old Farr 40?

Can I interest you in a Cal 34? Cheep cheep?.....

[George Hackett]

sorry R Booth. a little too small. thanks

Possibly a Sydney 38 ex Oz. They look like good value and seem bulletptoof

I'm sure there are a lot of buyers at the "just want to dump" price.

Not so many sellers.

[George Hackett]

yea i agree about the "lots of buyers and not so many sellers". as i told him, it is a stretch. too bad he did not come out earlier. several years ago, there was a neglected sydney-41 in singapore that would have been a real steal. this guy knows that no one is going to give him a boat out of the kindness of their heart. so he know that he will have to pay to play. in other words, he wants to spend his money, not waist it.

jono. a little more about the sydney-38?

[Loco.]

You could pick up a sydney 40 unmodified keel (or maybe old irm keel) in old rig configuration in average condition needing new sails for about £40 k.

New rudder. (most have this)
New keel.

And you've got a decent IRC boat for £65k.

Not sure there are many out there left unmodified at present. Not sure what the price is for a good nick Syd 40 with new keel.

It seems the whole stock of Syd 40's changed hands recently.

So whilst all boats are for sale there probably are not many owners willing to dump their toy just yet.

ILC 40 MK Cafe available in Holland. Looks like it needs a lot of work so could fit the bill - http://www.yachtworl...g_id=79052&url=

[George Hackett]

boy your not kidding. but a good find, i think. shipping cost might be more than the boat?

What else does she come with?

[George Hackett]

nice find on the tripp-50. a little too big though.

[Left Hook]

Might want to think twice about that. And definitely get a survey.

[George Hackett]

i agree left hook. way too much to correct. eventually would cut the deck off and put it over a new hull and keel. then have to change the rig. way too much.

[Leka]

Secret Mens Business #1 is listed at $129,000.00. Would seem good value for what it is.

I think you are right and £30k is pretty optimistic even for a European buyer given the huge amount of work needed. Not sure what shipping costs would be but if you could buy the boat and have it delivered to you part of the world for under £30k then maybe.... Can't imagine there will be a massive queue of potential buyers so perhaps worth keeping an eye on.

Found a realistically priced Sydney 40 this morning but again it's in Holland so location not ideal: http://www.yachtworl...g_id=62889&url=

Nice effort, OulaMan! You landed a keeper!

An endless stream of repairs, bills and other problems.

Last I heard that sydney 40 has been sold to a Russian buyer

Nope. That's just how Bach yachting roll, the boat is unlikely to be their priority given price and amount of time it's been listed, Liesbeth might be on holiday and the boat is sold.
