Sander;
Where are you located? At the risk of crass commerciality, and with apologies to the rest of the list, I will gladly sell you my 25 mk1, which I've owned for 19 years and have resisted selling until I can find someone who will love it as much as I do and keep it in the condition it is in now. Hull number 225. $8k worth of good sails, some almost new. New Carbon racing main. Newish Dacron cruising main. Newish Kevlar racing 155. Dacron cruising 155. Dacron lapper (110%). 65% storm jib. Spinnaker. Updated Kenyon mast & new rigging in 2009. Garhauer rigid vang, line adjustable genoa cars, backstay tensioner, clutches and all blocks. At least two sets of good running rigging (light and heavy) for each sail. Upgraded to Barient 22 2-speed winches. Both spin and whisker poles. 6hp long shaft outboard. Teak boarding ladder. Boom tent. Sunbrella cockpit cushions and covers for winches, handrails, and tiller. Newish interior cushions with upgraded upholstery and curtains. Garmin GPS/sounder. VHF, and stereo. Electric head. Custom teak cabinetry to house radio and VHF, and for the Origo stove. This adds drawer and storage space and frees up the area of the ice box for counter space. The bottom was redone in November 2011, so it should last 2 or 3 more years in our local conditions. The one spot of soft deck core where the PO had run the mast cables through the deck has already been fixed. Steel cradle included (we don't need them here in North Carolina, so it hasn't been used in like 15 years) I will even include the foul weather gear and apparel for guests that has the boat name and logo embroidered on it. In the current market, I'll probably get about $5500 for the boat if I can find a suitable buyer. The weakest points are the 2-stroke outboard, though it always starts on the 1st or 2nd pull, and the fact that the non-skid where the cabin top merges into the foredeck is wearing out and needs to be repainted. If you are interested, contact me off list. And if anyone else knows of someone who wants to buy a really top notch 25 mk1, please contact me off list as well. Rick Brass Washington, NC From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of san...@vpilot.net Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2013 10:33 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Went to see the 25 for myself Hi listers, Thank you all again for helping me with the information request a couple of days ago. Today I went to meet with the seller (a boat repair shop) and to inspect the boat. It's definitely a Mk1. Before you read further, I have pictures so drop me a line if you're interested in seeing them. The boat has been stripped completely, and I do mean EVERYTHING has been taken off and out. The hull is an empty shell. The former owner was going to fix the deck around the stanchion bases and do a complete repaint, but after disassembly and initial sanding, he went awol and left the seller with the boat in its current state. The deck repairs are half done: the rotten core is removed and new waterproof plywood sawed in shape to fit. The seller showed me all the stuff that belonged to this boat, which was a couple of pallets and boxes full. There is no way to tell for certain if it's all complete, unless one knows exactly what should go where on the C&C. There are instruments, but they may not function. The inboard engine (old Volvo Penta sail drive with Honda 4-stroke block) may or may not function. By the way, the cockpit floor does have an access hatch to the engine bay like some of you mentioned. The hull looks very strong and in good shape. The deck, other than around the stanchion bases, looks and sounds good. I really like its lines. The work on this boat will take me the entire summer for certain, and likely part of the fall/winter, if I decide to buy it. - Complete the deck repairs(seller is willing to help me with that); - Full paint job, inside and outside; - Restoration of all woodwork in the interior, top to bottom; - Electric installations (I forgot to ask about the wiring); - Plumbing (sink, toilet); - All hardware needs to be cleaned; - Assembly of, well, everything; - Sail off into the sunset! The good about all this, is that when it's finished I'll have a practically brand new boat with many years of sailing fun and no headaches. The seller is eager to get rid of it and has already made it clear that the price is negotiable. But the amount of work seems staggering. And I will need a dry place to work for a long period, not too far away from home. I'm curious, what would you offer for a boat in this state? Would you even consider buying it or would you run away screaming? I got the impression I'm the first person seriously interested in the boat. The seller is not willing to restore the boat before selling it, unless his crew is out of work. I've seen the place, they got plenty of work. So the boat may even end up on the scrapyard :( I could really use some good advice. Regards, Sander
