Hello everyone!
I re-listed here after reading that you weren't allowed to post EBAY links .
After a lot of thinking and grungy
boat work …I have decided that it's a little too overwhelming for me to have TWO sailboats . The problem is … I love them both! But ….alas , I am going to put my newly acquired North Atlantic 29 back up
for sale. This way I can concentrate on finishing up (and actually sailing) my C-Mist 32 .
I figured I would throw this out to my fellow sailors here first before doing a proper listing on the net.
As some of you may know , I recently purchased Dave Chamberlin's old
boat "Pelican" . She has a lot of projects to complete , but she is an incredibly solid boat …and very , very well built. You can see one of the sisterships , Yacht Teleport in action here:
Teleport Expeditions - Chris Bray & Jess Taunton
Chris and Jess have done some fantastic voyages on a cold molded version of this design.
After spending the last few weeks aboard ,
cleaning her up and taking stock , it appears that Dave was right in the middle of a complete
refit when he
sold her. Some
gear is only partially installed …meaning not wired up yet and never used.
The boat is "geared up" very well :
Wind Generator ,
Sailomat 3040
wind vane,
GPS ,
Chartplotter , all wind/speed sailing
instruments ,a new (uninstalled) 20 gallon
fuel tank, 35 lb.
CQR knockoff
anchor with tons of chain, miles of spare line , a never used $3000.
Maxwell power anchor windlass , 2 gorgeous Anderson
self tailing winches ,and even has a "Hasler-esque" clear plexiglass dome for one of the round hatches …VERY COOL!
I have the tanbark sail partially rigged (just need to do the parrels) and it and all battens are in fine condition.
The
Volvo MD7a (13 h.p.)was partially taken apart , and I , along with some mechanical help , deduced that he was
cleaning out the
cooling system … pretty common on these. I just spent the last week cleaning and putting the
motor back together with new gaskets. She spins freely and has great
compression ….but ….now the starter is frozen from sitting so long and needs a
rebuild (the starter)
She needs a haul and new
bottom paint.
Dave cut out half of the starboard settee to build a proper
galley …so , there is a big hole there. The new bulkhead is already cut ….ready to build to suit.
a few days of
work sorting the
engine …and she will be out sailing , another month of sweat and
elbow grease …and you will have a fine , junk rigged vessel that can take you anywhere in
safety , comfort and style.
