For Sale Sailfish 18 £800

With a young family and a house renovation in progress, I’m having to admit that I simply don’t have the time to use it at the moment and therefore it’s time to sell. Trailer solid and really well made (Full Galvanised and adjustable), I serviced the bearings and fitted two new tyres this year. 

BRAND NEW mast and standing rigging including roller reefing jib.

New stalock system stays, all new lines on the mast, original boom in good condition. - The mast has been up once for a couple of hours sail, off the coast of North wales (Lynn Peninsula) in a fair old breeze and she went very well- ( im a former dinghy sailor and i was pleasantly suprised). 

Sails are a bit tatty, and to be honest I’m unsure if the jib is the original (there’s a couple with it), 2 rudders and various other spare hatches etc that came with it.

Inside it’s all striped out and wants refitting , although all wooden compartment covers are there and solid. Windows leak water hence why I stripped out the internals with intention of sorting the windows and then refitting inside- not a big job. Hull is remarkably clean for its age, some hair line cracks on the cockpit deck where you enter the cabin (I believe this is a common problem) but its all solid, stainless rails etc.. as I'm writing this I wish I had the time to use it, but reality is I'd be better with something smaller that could be stored on the garage roof. dinghy in PX maybe if it helps someone up-sizing?


I have a 4hp Suzuki with it but this isn’t included in the sale - could be by seperate negotiation.

Lying north wales. 

Looking for around £800- you would struggle to buy the rigging for that.


Boats lying near Morfa Nefyn, north wales
