The first few pictures are before pictures……..just in case!!The hull is in excellent condition with no osmosis.Here is an early Drascombe Drifter with a wooden cabin. The cabin and cockpit area had rotted away and so has been completely replaced with marine ply with fibreglass covering. Repurposed Teak from an old staircase provided some of the wood, the rest is Sapele and marine ply. New steam bent Sapele Gunwales.Ideal as a trailer-sailor, drawing 18 inches or so, and is triple keeled. Norfolk Broads probably ideal, with coastal and creek cruising being great fun.The boat is ready to go immediately with everything needed and at hand. I had prepared this boat for my son but he has decided he doesn’t like sailing and as I can’t do it on my own, sadly she has to go.All woodwork has been varnished and painted as appropriate with International and Ephianes. The unusual Seagull Sail-drive is still the power unit, as the engine area was designed around it. As it is a Sail-drive unit it would make an ideal electric conversion in the future.Some of the original wood, like the engine cover has been saved.Mainsail lines run back to the cockpit and the foresail is on roller reefing. Mizzen complete with new gaff. All main spars are original.2 x 110amp/hour batteries installed, small inverter for phone charging & 230 volts occasionally.Seagull saildrive 2 stroke petrol.Mainsail, Headsail and mizzen, excellent condition.Bowsprit and Bumkin in Pine.Warps & 6 FendersTiller steering.Anchor, chain and rope.CD/radio.Lighting in forepeak and cabin.Automatic bilge pump.Manual bilge pump.All rigging and lines etc.Cold water reserve and water pump to stainless bowl sink and tap.The trailer is available separately but can be included at the right price.All brakes replaced, including linkages, stainless cables, brake pads and actuating mechanism etc.New heavy duty Jockey wheel.4 new wheel bearings.4 good tyres that hold pressure.
