Notes for Sabre 27 sellers

A new owner will want to know all about the boat and its equipment. Records of equipment purchases, maintenance and replacements will also be helpful if a prospective purchaser wants to take advantage of the ‘no survey’ insurance scheme. Owners who plan to sell their Sabres are therefore advised to assemble all relevant documents and receipts, so that they can be passed on when the boat changes hands.

Location: Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire
Contact: Richard Colliar
Telephone: 07792 377481

Description

Solas is a solid boat, which requires a bit of work to get her back in the water.

She has been out of the water for 2 1/2 years, cleaned, scraped and sanded about 60% of the hull below the waterline. Some minor gelcoat repairs are required.

  • Interior has been partially stripped, all parts have been stored in a dry garage.
  • Sails are in good condition and dry stored.
  • Mast and boom are solid, rigging is available but would suggest inspection / replacement.
  • Engine was running but would benefit from a full service.
  • Chemical toilet, gas oven, plotter, echo sounder, vhf etc….
  • This is a good cheap first time project boat. Loads of spares included.
  • Easily lifted by HIAB truck from current location.

This was a project I was hoping to complete myself but a change in career has seen my spare time vanish!

The boat is currently set up as a day boat, it is designed for 6 berth but it would suit 4 in more comfort. All bedding foam is available but these have currently been left out of the boat at the moment. The boat can be under sail in a matter of 5 mins due to her easy set-up, all sails can be reefed quickly and safely.

Great first cruising boat, she has had a lot of work put into her over the last few years and is great fun to sail. You have to remember she is now over forty years old, but she is a very strong boat as these were made in Cowes and well made. We have the original paperwork for her. Currently moored in Queenborough harbour.
