Sailing yacht head sails

The first image shows similar sails and on my own boat, the two sails on offer are from the same suit of sails, they were never used and are now for sale.

I have a number one Yankee cut jib and a number two jib, both were intended for an Endurance 48ft yacht, they were never used, not even once.


The two sails are brand new, one was removed from its bag for inspection only.


They are suitable for a yacht 45 feet and larger,

With bronze piston hanks, a luff tape can be fitted at an extra cost.


Priced at less than half of new sails today.


Sizes available on request.


Top quality new sails.


Please contact me for dimensions and pricing.

I can ship Worldwide.

Band G Network GPS plus display

This GPS plus  Network control was a spare, it requires a remote GPS receiver to show the postion, the Garmin GPS 35/36 works well with it.


I can test the functions by applying power, I cannot test the GPS function as I do not have a suitable GPS to connect to it.

They are in a nice condition.

Hecta depth sounder

This B and G Hecta depth sounder was my spare unit and kept as a back up, tested and working just in case it was required, which it was not.


A re test two weeks back and the function buttons were not working, it will be sold in working condition.


It is in nice condition and the PCB shows no sign of intrusion from damp or moisture.


As tested in 2016.


No depth is shown as the transducer was not connected.


Simple wire connections that you can do yourself.

Please contact me for price and postage to where ever you are.

B and G ACP1 Pilot control

This ACP1 pilot is complete excepting the ram or direct drive unit.


I also have the upgraded ACP2 circuit board in stock.



There is a compass, needs a service, a heading reference indicator.


The pilot control 


The PCB looks clean and in good condition, when possible I will test any items prior to sale.



Please contact me with any questions and let me know what parts are of interest to yo.

B and G Network marine instruments

Over a while I  have collected Brookes and Gatehouse spares to suit my own needs, now that I no longer require them I am about to start selling them off.


I will start with a Network Speed display, the display was fitted to a Far 38/40 I took over the system when the owner fitted a new system.


The Err shown is due to no transducer being fitted when I tested the display.

The transducer and cable have never been used, they are new, the skin fitting was fitted to a boat but again, the transducer was not fitted. A blanking plug is included, the system shows water temperature as well as speed.

Wood/Epoxy Optimist dinghy mast step dimensions

The so  called Unofficial Guide for the boat gives a mast step block as 100 x 180 x 60mm in size.


The drawing shows the footprint and the required shape.

We looked at the size given and then read the rules and saw that we can down size it to save weight.


So our Optimist Wood/Epoxy kit has a pre shaped mast step block in it, this one is laminated from three pieces of meranti wood.

The kit it belongs to will be shipped to the USA and with a North Sail and Harken deck gear pack.

Proteus 106 on drying moorings

This picture shows why a multihull design can work when a monohull design will not.


This river is tidal, which makes little difference when you have a Proteus 106 design.

Plywood kits for this design are no longer available, when we have a replacement design we will post it.

Roy

Proteus 106 sailing pictures

The boat was built from a kit that Angelo Lavranos designed and we cut the plywood panels from his cut files.


The boat is 35.00 feet long and built to the correct plan specification, it sails well and has seen speeds of fifteen knots under sail.


This really is a right sized yacht for a catermaran when the needs are to keep things smaller but still have an ocean capable yacht.

The boat is on the East coast in South Africa.

Please note, due to the designer retiring, we can no longer offer this as one of our CNC cut boat kits.
