Hi,
Sadly we are preparing our Sprint 15 #2008 for sale. Life is changing and the Sprint 15 has so re-invigorated our love of sailing that we have bought a fixer-up Rival 38 yacht to journey towards a liveaboard cruising retirement. We can't manage both.
So the best equipped Out of Africa boat #2008 is going to be for sale. She shows glimpses of speed and her track record has clearly been hampered by my lack of racing skill. Whilst maybe not fully competitive with the brand new boats she can easily hold her own with the rest of the fleet.
Equipment includes new in the last 3 years:
- all shrouds and bridle
- trapeze ropes and cleats
- zhik trapeze harness
- all ropes: mainsheet (and ratchet block/cleat), traveller sheet, downhaul, jib sheets, jib halyard, tramp tensioning line
- traveller bearings
- toe straps and tensioning lines
- Euro Trax big (knobbly) tyre launching troller with adjustable extension handle
- LED lighting board with extra white/red full width repeater lights that can be seen by the driver (fitted to standard pintle hanging frame)
Also
two-piece mast
2 mainsails (one with class-compliant foam pockets at the top). 1 set of battens
2 jibs
Bramber road trailer (3-year-old wheels, tyres, bearings and suspension units), 2 year old height-adjustable Windsport mast support (can be set to clear a van or motorhome), wheel clamp and hitch lock
parts for older small wheel trolley
Has had a couple of professional beautiful repairs. Steve Sawford repaired our port bow after the Thorpe Bay Nationals (he also repaired all the dings in the skegs and stopped the hatches from leaking). Windsport repaired the aft beam sockets last year (apparently a known weakness on the Out of Africa boats).
Happy to deliver up to a few hundred miles from Manchester for a contribution to fuel costs.
Looking for £3,000
Regards
Dave
