Milton is a classic 22ft Gaff rigged sloop, a Robert Tucker (Nantucket) design masterfully built in 1980 by shipwright Andriss Foss in Perth. The hull is marine ply with epoxy dynel sheathing, the cabin is laminated Oregon, with epoxy dynel sheathing. Owner has just spent 2 months repainting the entire boat and re-epoxing the decks and general restoration. There is no rot. Mast, boom, gaff and bowsprit are Oregon, oiled and in top condition. There are 4 berths in the cabin with sitting headroom and it's also possible to sleep in the huge cockpit. The inboard is a Bukh DV 8HP diesel with 3 blade prop, it starts first time and runs sweetly and very reliably - 20 litre fuel capacity. The mainsail with 2 reefs and 2 jibs are all in good condition and drive the boat very well. New 2 burner meth stove, 27 meg radio, compass, solar panel and regulator, 2 new batteries. New interior cushions and cockpit cushions, anchor and chain, navigation lights. Full navy blue boat cover and boom cover. A perfect Rottnest boat with a draft of less that 0.5m with the centerboard up. Owner recently had a 5 day sail around Rottnest, anchoring close in out of the swell. The boat sails very safely in 30 knot winds (hitting 7 knots on the GPS) with 2 reefs and ghosts along very well in light winds with all sail up. And no need to drop the mast to get under the Fremantle bridges. Mooring at North Fremantle available to rent. Owners nephew shot 2 videos which show the boat sailing to Rottnest.
