Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Kevin, that is one of the nicest boats I’ve seen in a long time. Also I want to compliment you on selecting a fair price for such a well appointed boat? Reason for selling ?

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Kevin, I did not see a draft in your write up. Also do you have a picture of her out of the water when you did her bottom?

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Thanks Alan, and I think you will find the draft under the heading: dimensions toward the top of the listing (4 ft 11 in).
Also, I have heaps of photos of Tin Star on the hard. This ad is limited to 12 photos apparently.
The launch photo was taken with fresh bottom paint and zincs. Aluminum hulls are bottom painted with an non-copper containing coating. I use the black Trilux 33 by Interlux, which is easily found and comparably priced.
I can link the survey done before I bought the boat in 2010.
Reason for sale: I've downsized my agenda now that I've found Biscayne Bay and the Keys.
Tin Star is built and equipped for the open ocean. In fact, I contacted the designer, Ted Brewer, and he offered to sail around the Horn with me ("...if we were both 30 years younger.") He's quite a guy and a premier naval architect.

Yes, excellent boat! Can't get a good feel for the interior from the photos, but learned quite a bit more about Mr. Brewer's Bulldogs by visiting his site. Can you tell me what the headroom is below? I'm 6'-1" and shrinking.
Thanks and best regards.

Wa-wa-wa-WOW. It's like someone read my mind.

I'm going to have to go take a cold shower.

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Hello Mr. Larson (or a quite tall Ms. Larson),
Rest assured the headroom would be adequate, as the sailor I bought Tin Star from was 6' 1" or more. The bunks also are 7' or more. The bimini is a might tight at the forward tube, but adequate under the canopy. The tubing can be adjusted.
I'll include a few interior shots. Some are prior to upgrades, including moving the stove athwartships to allow gimbal, which made room for heavy drawers, work surface and vice amidships.
The teak ladder was added, and it moves both ways on wingnuts, and swings up and out of the way for easier engine access. The engine box was rearranged to provide room for two Racor fuel filters in parallel.
There is work left undone, but still safely sailed:
ICON SSB and antenna have not been wired;
backup engine temperature probe with needle gauge is positioned, but not inserted;
at some point, I will commission a new mainsail.
Current main is serviceable, two reef points, and without any needed repair. Considering a new cross cut dacron or membrane reinforced main that's partially or fully battened.
I did try to attach the 2010 marine survey, but it's too large.
Will send it by email if desired.
Kevin
p.s. I'll be darned if I can get some of these photos to stand upright.

Hello Kevin! I replied earlier and thanked you for the information, but didn't follow the thread properly and my reply went to the help desk at CF. I mentioned in the wayward email that the photos didn't come thru - but again I was at the wrong place somehow. Found them now! And they are very good. Thank you.
Robert
PS: a new main! Nothing so sweet as a new crisp, new sail or sails. Folks spend a lot of time & money on their sailboats, and a lot of that seems to just increase the headache factor. As in techno gadgetry...
but new sails are a joy every time you use them, and for years to come!

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Kevin,
She looks very seaworthy. I’d sail around the horn with you and Ted; if I were 30 years younger!

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Hi Kevin, Beautiful design for a capable cruiser. Who was the builder of your boat?
Thanks, Kristof

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Hey Kristof,
Built by a welder/boatbuilder who I have photos of, but don't know his name.
I originally thought it was built on the Mississippi and sailed over to Florida by the guy I bought her from. Pictures of the boatwright and his daughter show them in heavy work coats, and I have photos of the launching in 1989.

These might have been taken in Minnesota.

I have the original lofting plans from the designer, Ted Brewer, that he used for the construction. Ted specifies the 5000 series aluminum for hull and deck, as I've contacted him personally about this detail.
Tin Star is "built like a church, comfortable as an old shoe" as the saying goes.
Thanks for your interest.
Kevin

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Thank you Kevin. Is your boat docked in a marina or stored on the hard? Also are the topsides painted or is it bare aluminum? Kristof

Re: Aluminum 30' Ted Brewer cutter for sale

Tin Star is moored at Coconut Grove, FL and the topsides are painted with Awlgrip, which you might be able to see from the splash graphic at the bow.
I choose the color that might oxidize to more of a aluminum color, and that was 10 years ago. By way of your question, maybe she's getting there.
