Professionally built Samson C-Bird ferro cement boat. The boat was built in the Samson yard in Rockingham in 1980 and is very fair with no rust or structural problems. The hull has been surveyed by a shipwright and has been found to have been built exactly as per plan and the steel armature and cement are in excellent condition. The boat was successfully racing until 7 years ago at which time it was brought ashore at Maylands boatyard where it is today. It is in a very pleasant position right on the river. The 6 berth interior is fairly basic but usable and comfortable either as a live aboard or as a long distance cruiser. There is a new stainless 2 hob gas stove, an excellent anchor winch and 2 Maxwell 24 sheet winches. There is an electrical panel but most of the wiring could do with being re-done. There is a toilet. The reconditioned engine is a big slow revving Chinese 290C 20HP, producing a lot of torque with the shaft turning a 3 blade prop at just 700rpm. The engine starts perfectly and runs smoothly. It can run on vegetable oil if you wish. The rig is designed as a modern high aspect gaff - mast, gaff and boom are ready to go. Most of the rigging and mast fittings are supplied. There are sails with the boat but I would advise new sails which I have priced at about $4,000 from Lee Sails in Hong Kong. If you want a great looking cheap boat that can take you around the world and are able to overlook some of the uninformed prejudice about ferro boats please call.
