Other Info:

Bonnie is a well-known Lymington Nordic Folkboat with one owner from new. She was the Southampton Boat Show exhibit in 2004. The boat has been meticulously maintained by the owner and updated over the years to a full race specification. Antifoul has been stripped and reapplied every year to prevent build up, and she has been stored under a winter cover with a dehumidifier and heater installed. The mast and rig have been stored separately in a local barn each winter. This boat is in exceptional condition, and every attention has been made to ensure all sail controls function effortlessly.

She has had a long and successful racing record in both one-design and handicap racing culminating in a handicap win in the Royal Lymington Pottership Trophy in 2022.

Treberys

£0

Built by: Woodnutt and Co.

Our Ref 20250412
Sail No FB 193
Location Bosham
Year Built 1958

 

The boat is going free to an enthusiast that is able to give her a new lease of life.
We acquired Treberys in 2010 and over the subsequent 5 years undertook an extensive refurbishment, including engine rebuild (Yanmar 1GM 10), replaced standing rigging (aluminium mast and new standing rigging),sistering up some of the timbers, fabricating new cockpit grating, and having a new yard dolly (on casters) fabricated from new. The dolly hasn’t ever touched the sea since it was built in 2018 and is as new, with adjustable acrows. We have partially removed the cockpit floor (ply).
The boat was built circa 1958, by Woodnutt and Co., carvel constuction, mahogany planks on oak frames, teak decks and is splined down to the waterline. She was surveyed in 2015 and valued at £9000.
The boat is currently in dry storage (since 2020) in a barn in Bosham. We intended to work on her in the barn, but regrettably we have been unable to find the time to do this, and it is necessary now to move the boat on from it’s current location.
Unfortunately the boat was exposed to the elements a little too much after our initial restoration and there are some soft planks on the topsides.
Essentially, to get her seaworthy again, the following work would be necessary: Sistering up of some timbers, replacement of some planking on the topsides & repairs to the cockpit floor. I would also suggest replacing the keelbolts as this has not been done for some time.
We need to remove the boat from the barn as soon as possible and it will need road transportation. We took it into the ban on a road trailer with ramps, and suggest this would be the best way to move it out. I am able to put you in contact with the haulier that took it into the barn, and would gladly assist in facilitating the moving of her.

KLUCK

SOLD

Built by: Nya Båtvarvatet, Åhus, Sweden

Our Ref 20250412
Sail No F 62
Location East Coast
Year Built 1961

‘Kluck’ is a 1962 wooden Nordic Folkboat launched on 16th May 1961 at Åhus, Sweden. Built by Nya Båtvarvatet, she has pine planking and the original Oak framing. She is a rare Swedish Folkboat which is reflected in her sailing well with four on board or single handed, and comes with a recently serviced road trailer included in the price.

Internally, ‘Kluck’ has four berths, space for a sink, locker and drawers beneath for more storage. The joinery was put in three years ago in Sapele along with two memory foam cushions.

She is fractional rig bermudan sloop powered by a new main and jib (5 uses), as well as two cruising jibs and a cruising main. Wooden keel stepped mast and boom with stainless steel standing rigging. Slab reefing mainsail and hank on Jib.

Power- she has a Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 long shaft outboard with a 24-3500Ah battery, controller, solar charger, on/off control, recently serviced by Chas Newens marine.

The cockpit is comfortable with an original Folkboat seat and two side chests for sheets. The sheets are controlled by Two Andersen 12 Primary self-tailing winches recently serviced.

It is important that ‘Kluck’ goes to the right home. She doesn’t take on more than a pint a week of water when she’s in the water. She is well versed in regattas, but is also well kitted out for cruising. We had hoped to cruise more, but our timings haven’t coincided well with that, hence the sale. She comes with photos of the day she was launched as well as all original owners.

  • Solar charging 12V system, Lithium LiFos battery (RRP £600 new)

  • Torqeedo Cruise 2.0, 24-3500 battery, all relevant controls and accessories (RRP new £8000).
