22' Robert Tucker Ballerina Mark Ii Bilge Keel Sloop - Lovely Small Yacht

22' Robert Tucker Ballerina II Bilge keel Sloop Ballerina ll Sloop for sale, 6.48m (22'0"), 1976, Bilge keel, 4 berthsVery capable small (but perfectly formed) cruiser, easily trailered and ideal for East coast rivers and Thames estuary. A similar boat was sailed by Tristan Jones in South America, as recorded in "The Incredible Voyage" (of which a hard cover copy is included in the sale). I have had her for two years, made many improvements and upgrades and I am now ready to move on. The boat comes with an almost new outboard, almost new VHF radio, almost new chart-plotter and a lovely Zodiac dinghy - which are alone worth more than the asking price.

She can be loaded quite easily onto a truck or a trailer if you want to take her away. I would be very happy to meet and show you the boat. Viewing must be arranged, please get in touch early to discuss and to arrange a time slot for viewing. Please ask any questions before bidding. I would like to sell the whole package but I would consider selling the boat without the outboard, chart-plotter and dinghy - at a much lower price.

If interested please contact me to discuss. The boat is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to withdraw before the end of bidding. Please contact me with any questions and to arrange a viewing as soon as possible. And please do not bid if you are not serious about buying it!
