Want To Buy: Second hand equipment wanted.

[Bill Robinson]

Wanted, two burner kerosene stove, in any condition. I will refurbish and repair it if necessary.
Wanted, Navik wind vane self steering system, and condition. I will refurbish and repair it if necessary.

Somewhere in storage I have a self priming 2 burner of swedish design. Believe it was called an Optimus. Check in with me in a couple months if I have not gotten back to you. This stove did not need alcohol priming.

Thanks Trekka, I will wait for your reply.


Please note that I was contacted by someone called Cleavland Mark, who sent me photos of a Kenyon stove, and a very nice looking Navik wind vane. Good bait! I bit and we agreed on a price. I then arranged a PayPal payment of $ 700.00, but it turned out to be a scam. He is not a member of this forum, so beware!

Where are you located Bill?

I am based in Malaysia, so will need to have things shipped here. As there is virtually no chance of finding either a Navik, or a kerosene stove here, I have no choice. What do you have for sale?

Me nothing but in my neck of the woods (Toronto) there is one kero stove for sale, but shipping to where you are would be prohibitive.
Are you adamant about a Navik for any reason? I just posted a bit about a new windvane (Windy), check it out, the price is affordable.
BTW, the Ebbtide 36 is one of my favorite blue water boats, gorgeous looking Pane design.

I am buying a Frances 26, so I need a small, light wind vane self steering system, hence the Navik. I need a burner kerosene stove for her as well.

Yes the Ebbtide 36 is a great boat. My one Jenain, is round bilged and has been my only home since 1996. We have done nearly 100,000nm together, but now it is time to change. I will be equipping the Frances 26 for cruising, but not for high latitude sailing like the Ebbtide. Getting old and soft!

Hi I have a 55/155 Optimus that I used for years that I may consider selling if the price is right. It has an attached hood. Shipping to Malaysia would be expensive as I am in New York.
