The Foxcub 18 is an 18’ masthead sloop designed by Uffa Fox and built in fibreglass by Copland Boats (UK) between 1972 and 1984. 650 units were built. The Foxcub 18 is a light sailboat which is a reasonably good performer. This is the twin keel version and circa early 70’s MK1
This boat is in good condition but not perfect, the cockpit could do with painting/cleaning or re-jell coating. The hull was painted a couple of years ago and looks good, I antifouled it before moving to Sandwich and as it is on the river it still looks good with no signs of any fouling.
The main mast is in my garage (in Sandwich) and will need collecting or the marina can collect for a small fee. Everything for the mast is present and both sails are in great condition with no tears and plenty of life left in them. All the rigging was replaced about five years ago and is in great condition. I am using the boat as a river launch at the moment and have stayed overnight on it.
Mooring is paid up until 28.2.24 and included in the sale- so you can either renew it next year or move the boat by then. The River Licence is also paid up until next year. You will only need to arrange your own insurance.
This boat was built in the early 1970’s so is not perfect but is not your usual scruffy boat.
Please note there is no Trailer with this boat so if you wanted to move it you could either sail it out or have it moved professionally (I paid about £350 – £400 to have it moved from Essex to Kent just under 2 years ago)
The Radio and Petrol Outboard are not included in this sale but are available by separate negotiation.
The electric trolling motor (which is I use as a backup) is included as is the leisure battery, solar panel, mains hookup and Nasa) Depth Meter is included as are all tools, cushions rigging, ropes, lines, life buoy, fenders (mostly new).
Please note the photos with the mast and sail are taken in Essex and not where it is currently moored.
Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have.
Please note this boat is also for sale through Highway Marine
