Sea Wych “Sukina” : 19′ sailing cruiser, designed, built and promoted as a family-friendly 2/4 berth inshore and coastal craft, and with modest, sea-kindly performance. Also quite manageable single-handed, as previous owner ran her. Originally a factory [ie. not home-built as a number were] version. Probabale date of construction, 1980.
She will comfortably manage half-tide or a bit better for inward/outward passage
Spent many years based at and sailed from Brading Haven Yacht Club in Bembridge Harbour, from where I bought her in 2001 and continued my own family membership, lapsed as of now. {See below}
The Sea Wych Owners’ Association is active, and still has rallies there – should be plenty of background information and pictures available.
The details:
It’s a fact that for the last few years, due to family separation and health issues, the boat has lain idle and neglected. There is thus a fair bit of cosmetic work to be done again (i.e scrub and polish topsides; replace cockpit woodwork [simple wood strips over seat lockers and underfoot, slide-up panels to companionway] ; probable cordage; chrome polish on rails etc.)
She is a bilge-keeler and sits on a mud/sand mooring. There will be a need for a scrub and anti-foul.
The tiller and rudder are inside the cabin.
2 forward v-berths and convertible cabin benches are foam/vinyl.
It is possible that the jib has frayed and worn due to weather. Standing rigging was replaced but will need inspection.
The motor is outboard, a Mercury , 6 or 8 h.p, I can’t remember, but they used the same housing; this was bought new from Bembridge Outboards not long before circumstances intervened to restrict and eventually stop family sailing. I can state with absolute certainty that the motor has done less than 10 hours in and around Bembridge. It has remained mounted since. Obviously it will need a clean and attempted run-up, or failing that, a “de-gumming” service.
There is a bulb-priming fuel tank housed under the starboard seat/locker.
Apart from the necessary ‘bits’ stored inside, I have a decent boat-hook and a few life-jackets if needed.
Overall, and in my own estimation, ‘Sukina’ is a viable prospect for a project and progressive restoration.
She is still currently insured for about £33 per month with GJW – there may well be cheaper options.
Her mooring is Club-managed, and understandably the Club is concerned at her lack of use; I have been asked to move her on as a matter of urgency.
Last year’s fees within this context were £330; I’m not sure if this included my personal membership.
Still recovering from a hip operation, and with on-going prostate cancer, I have regretfully no chance of making viable use of the boat, and it has frankly become a burden I should have dealt with some time ago. My access to her has been limited.
As noted, I think it could become a worthwhile project for someone with practical skills and a view of potential.
For this reason, I am looking to find a buyer willing to invest – as a negotiating guide – in the region of £200/250.
Access could probably be arranged by requesting the use of a Club tender and rowing out about 150 metres. A prospective purchaser would be free to do this.
I hope this account is sufficient to give the broad picture and will be happy to provide any other details if needed’
