That's a Nordica 16 which is a great, solid, little boat. If it is all there rigging wise you could keep it on a mooring during the season, trailer it home for the winter, and have a cheap, simple and fun daysailor. Offer $500, rent a powerwasher, unbolt the dodger, and get out on the water. Or maybe I just have a soft spot for the colour scheme - matches the Nordica 20 I once had.

I have just requested the referenced additional photos and survey again...I did this last time around but they were not sent. This boat WAS listed on yachtworld for over 100K before being listed on ebay. I'm guessing that the boat has become a monthly money pit (and his life priorities have changed), so now the owner is truly ready to get rid of it. But who knows what his "reserve price" level is...it might be 100K. Curious about the true history on this boat...is it a resurrected wreck, or just a broken dream?

Most likely he took advantage of the ebays policy to pull the ad, pay the fee before the reserve was met and cancel the ad. Then relist and have a few friends shill bid on it to boost the price. If it doesn't make reserve, wash rinse repeat. Looking at the amount of work done to it, it looks like it should garner a higher price, but like real estate, location location location. You don't drop the boat off in lewes and expect to get full value, I at least I wouldn't. I'd go to a place like Lewes to find a a steal of a deal.

You can find the old ad on yachtworld, and also a video ad on YT with just a couple of minutes of googling. It looks like his description of what he did with the boat is accurate: Bought it a few years ago in Grenada, brought it home and sailed it while he worked on it (sailed it in a couple of Cape to Cape races). S/V Hobo Tiempo. I'm just wondering if the boat was super run-down or damaged when he bought it. Mentions rot around windows... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I bet that is a little structural detail that Brent did not design, looks like they may have been put in to hold the chine in place while the sides were bent upwards into shape. But I'm sure the answer is, "Steel B strong!!" and it probably is strong enough to take that point load but those struts are going to be PITA to build a cabin around. I'd be more worried about the rust dribbling out the back of the cockpit, down the transom. FB- Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Are those strut things going to stay do you suppose? There's something not right about that hull shape, even for a Swain boat. And I'm not talking about the excrescence on the top. Shame to see perfectly good material end up like that but if the owner thinks they'll get anything at all for that - they're dreaming. Of course it is in Queensland so who knows - the owner only needs to find *one* sucker... FKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The berths are strata-title, and were sold for something over a million bucks. Back when it was built, a friend tried to convince me we should buy one as an investment. Glad I declined. Sounds like one investor is trying to meet their mortgage payments. Does anybody know: Is this a common way to finance and build a marina in other parts of the world? There are some pretty expensive boats sitting there, and I mean sitting. One of them is Hotei, which gets passed around among Vancouver billionaires like a joint at a frosh party.
