For Sale Sailfish 18 £650
Although the boat itself is in good solid condition and complete with sails etc, she was bought by me as a barn find,it is the trailer which may prove of more interest.It’s a galvanised branded item with double roller coaster arms.The wheel bearings would benefit from a visit by the grease pot as the boat hasn’t moved for two seasons.
Unfortunately continuing I’ll health has scuppered my refurbishing plans and needs moving from her current location in Gosport Hampshire..
The sail number is listed as 389 built October 1980 ,there is a depth and log fitted although I haven’t seen them working.

For Sale Sailfish 18 £1400
18ft Sailfish trailer sailor and almost new braked trailer
This is a very reluctant sale and is due to age and other commitments. This lovely yacht is in average condition for her age and as you would expect needs a little TLC - we have used her for the last 4 years and she is perfectly usable now - she comes with sails, ropes, fenders, cushions, anchor, portable loo etc but no outboard. She points up well and handles easily. She is a fun boat and will sleep up to 4. Sails are in good condition. For information her number is 122 and she was constrcted in 1974. The trailer was professionally made using an existing galvanised Knott chassis but has had a new axle with sealed wheel bearings, new wheels and tyres, new braking system, new tow hitch and jockey wheel. I have attached a photo of the trailer plate. The trailer has done probably less than 50 miles. Note only first 3 photos show new braked trailer. Reasonable offer considered.

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.
