I'm sure you are being cheeky mate but the Cooper/Peterson Ganbare 35 were done in '74. Donny Mk11 was done in 1978. And this is Baggins that I raced on: https://thunderbirdmarine.com/yacht-sales/doug-peterson-ganbare/ That boat pictured above is a MK II as well. And I'm pretty certain that is John Jarman's "Prophecy" that I raced when it was pretty much new in 1976. There was a Mk 3 and might have built two in the early 80's but a big recession and cratered boat business for a couple of years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hukilau 133 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 The Triton is one of the most beautiful boats of all time. Many times have I been tempted to buy one, just for the row-away factor. But then reality sets in and I remember that the design fails to serve the way I use my boat. Still.... Unfortunately, this owner has fallen into the trap of thinking that his great efforts to remodel a 60 year old boat deserve to be reflected in the price. About the only upgrade that could push this boat north of 10K is the repower. Even then, I don't think this boat is worth more than 12K on it's best day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hukilau 133 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 This is an odd one. If I'm following correctly, it's a Tartan 27 that has been reworked to more closely conform to S&S's original concept for the boat. In any case, this is a boat that has had a lot of work poured into it, and the results are quite dramatic. Less "unique" than the Triton above, so probably more in line with what people would be willing to pay for. But still, it seems a bit pricey to me for what it is. I like most of the upgrades, but I'm wondering what lead them to rebuild the Atomic 4 rather than repower? It doesn't seem like cost was much of a consideration here. https://newhaven.craigslist.org/boa/d/haddam-traditional-fiberglass-yawl/7272115897.html Here is the website with more pictures and info: http://www.gryffinaero.com/aethereus.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Crash 674 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Wow! Besides the repower choice (running out of money towards the end?), I also surprised by the choice to not install a teak and holly sole. Carpet? really? Everything else however looks very, very well done. Unfortunately, like any custom boat, its likely not worth even the $27,5k he's asking given the cost of most other used boats in that size range these days. Someone, will get a pretty nice boat...

Or spend hours/days towing it behind a rubber duck with a 2 hp motor. It's not new, it's been building for years. The homeless on land and these folks on the water just keep coming from parts east.

This Sceptre is a later built than the original ones. The Calgan ones had blisters but Hein ( the builder) made sure that wouldn't happen again. Teak is pretty tough and a clean up and treating it with Sea Fin teak oil it will make that come back. I know - I did that on my own boat 5 years ago. I came back like almost new. It needs to be done again but it pretty easy to do. I use Sea Fin on the exterior too. It can come to bright if you want without the full varnish job. It lasts a season but no hard sanding at all.

SloopJonB 9,039 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 That original version has a glass over ply over wood beams deck. They always seem to be rotten these days. Unfortunate since IMO it is by far the best looking of the 4 or more decks they had over the years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commercial Boater 94 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 https://boston.craigslist.org/nos/boa/d/lynnfield-catalina-sailboat/7311144696.html I never knew that Catalina made an aero-rig boat. I watched craigslist for several years before eventually buying my boat last year, and never saw anything this weird/cool come up in that time. Of course, it's priced at a Post-COVID PremiumTM but what an awkwardly interesting little boat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Winston29 84 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 1994 Catalina 22. $9,500. Located in San Mateo, California. OK, this might belong in mocking CL, but only if $9.5K is too much for a 27 year-old -22. IDK what they're worth. Not sure why the seller put teak on the cockpit floor, but it's a nice looking boat. It looks very clean and well maintained, and it has the added advantage that they're still being produced. If I weren't so intimidated by the idea of owning a boat that lives in saltwater, full-time, and the price turned out to be reasonable, I might go give it a closer look. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/boa/d/san-mateo-catalina-22-sailboat/7312657387.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Steam Flyer 5,647 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Cough cough HOW much??! OTOH if it's the only one around and you can afford it and you want one too much to wait for something better and or cheaper, then yeah that's the price. FB- Doug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hukilau 133 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 That's a nice C22. Looks well-kept, and is certainly well-equipped. And it's the dinette model, which I prefer. Top it off with the wing keel version, and if I were in the market for a C22, this one would be at the top of the list. That's the good news. The bad news is that price is just nuts. A boat like that here in CT, with a trailer, would be lucky to go for $6000. More likely between $4000 and $5000. Granted, the market now is a bit wacky, but still, $9500 for a 27 year old C22 is beyond the pale. Even stranger, he just might get that price. It's about twice as much as it should be, but in absolute dollars, it's not a lot of money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's about twice as much as it should be, but in absolute dollars, it's not a lot of money. I was gifted a C22 - wasn't quite as nice, but it was close. It got me back into sailing after 20 years, and turned out to be the most expensive gift I've ever received. I gifted it to a friend with a young family when we bought our First 405, and he gifted it to charity after that. I might have been able to get $2-3k for it if I had tried, but I felt that would be bad karma. These are crazy times for anything that floats though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SloopJonB 9,039 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 3 hours ago, Kris Cringle said: I think this is advertised for 15K: I once bought a Columbia 43 that looked like that. Ever scrap of storage was filled to bursting with "stuff". We tossed several dumpsters of crap before we trucked it and I still had enough good stuff to sell that it offset about 1/2 the purchase price. We gave away several cases of wine & liquor that couldn't cross the border. A rotten plywood deck box I discovered under layers of crap on deck was filled with brass oil lamps, gimbals etc. including a twin to the one my wife gave me as a wedding present. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's about twice as much as it should be, but in absolute dollars, it's not a lot of money. Probably an offer of $8k would be fair. There is a big difference between a boat that is clean, used, maintained and ready to sail over the same thing that will save you $3-4k. What do you want to do? Have a project that you will struggle to get yer bride out on this summer or have a tidy little ‘yacht’ in which you can have pride of ownership and a pleasurable weekend’s use next week? By way of comparison—and with some trepidation—- I’ll just put it right out here that I bought a new Hobie tandem pedal kayak and trailer last week. All told, nearly $7k out de door. It’s a whole lot less boat than this Cat 22. A nifty, neat 15’ classic, sailing Melonseed (think oversized, inadequate dinghy) but nice to look at and use goes for over $13,500. Www.melonseed.com Yeah, ya CAN spend less in dollars upfront, but what’s your time, marriage and fun/immediacy factor worth? OTOH, if dollars are few, choices are fewer and elbows grease and DIY are a great way to get into the boat program. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
