Sold?
Oldin it is sold pending payment but GREENI is next in line sorry!
Your right Mike I've always wanted a Warn winch and did enjoy looking at it on the front of my motor but I am selling all my toys for a new boat, house carpets etc.
I'll put a picture of one so you can all have a good laugh, It's not the most street cred of boats and the stereotype of the owner is similar to a Series One owner "bearded old woolly jumper wearing real ale drinking..." BUT they are cheap to use as you can trailer sail them, are superb boats in rough conditions, many circumnavigated the world and the numbers sold have far outweighed the competition - they just look, well you'll see when I get a pic up, it's growing on me! I used to have the same without the cabin much prettier but the cabin is useful for the ladies, they're not so keen on peeing over the side or in a bucket!!!
This is a new one 30K + I am looking at 1980's example 5-6K. It has a Gunter Yawl rig (3 sails!) so is a pretty 20 foot traditional boat when on the water.

GREENI got you PM but status is till the same on the winch I'm afraid. SOLD pending balance!
Glyn the Luggers reputation precedes itself, superb boat. I went for the slightly longer LongBoat which I sold for a yacht but that went a few months ago as the family weren't really interested in it - kids too young, so I'm going back to a Drascombe which is better for single handed sailing. The Cruiser will be my last boat, it's perfect for my needs and the kids can learn to sail in it when they are a bit older! I'm going to go right through it, new engine, sails, rigging, woodwork if need etc and some mods
This is my old one
Ive booked up for a rally in Chi Harbour, were going to dry out on a sand bank, game of rounders, BBQ etc, sleep the night onboard and sail off in the morning - hoping to pick her up on Saturday Glyn pm sent re-books!

Oh Yes Anti-foul to be scraped off, hull painted or polished and a teak double strake fitted with a dark blue top-land (like the one in the top picture!) Spars are in good order so new sails and rigging all round, new engine and route fuel line, polish decks and cabin, varnish woodwork, paint interior and gunnel's, build in cooker etc, make new doors if needed, build in battery and electrics for navigation lights, instruments etc, launch, sail, anchor, brew some soup and look out at the sunset and listen to the Oyster Catchers whilst thinking of what to name her.
Calidris is top of the list at the moment....
"The calidrids or typical waders are a group of Arctic-breeding, strongly migratory wading birds. These birds form huge mixed flocks on coasts and estuaries in winter. They are the typical "sandpipers", small to medium-sized, long-winged and relatively short-billed" Very apt
