For reluctant sale - classic Herreshoff H28 timber sailboat PROJECT!!!
This was going to be a long term restoration project but due to too many demands on time and money she is looking for someone with the passion for the restoration of timber boats.
She has a very unusual rounded cockpit, and internal fitout is all timber tongue and groove panelling with a high level of detailing. With work, she would be a very pretty example of a classic timber yacht.
The steel cradle is no longer available but the yacht is sitting in a timbe rcradle which is included. The yacht will need to be moved from its current location withi 3 weeks of auction, space may be available elsewhere in the yard that will require the buyer to negotiate with property owner.

Would love the boat but just too much work for me to cope with. Hope it goes to someone that will do it justice

Dry rot right through her cabin, by the look of the photos.

How anyone could let that happen to such a nice boat is bloody criminal.

I've seen boats in worse condition restored, but you'd have to have a bunch of cash to throw at her.
