Classic Hillyard 2 1/2 Ton Yacht

Hillyard 2 1/2 ton Day sailer. 18 foot LOA Draft 4 1/2 ft. Long keel.Basic 2 berth interior. No standing head room. Berth paid until 1st April 2020.Registered with the Hillyard Owners Association as Grace, built 1936 as Auxiliary Sloop.Ready to be sailed but, as always with an old wooden yacht, requiring constant TLC.For sale due to upgrading to larger classic yacht, and the moorings (Watchet) being virtually useless due to dredging failure.

(google it!)Currently no engine/prop fitted but a Stuart Turner 5hp and the prop can be supplied (was fitted) - non running but repairable. A outboard mount is included.Paint stripped and repainted/antifouled 2019 see first 3 pics.Keel bolts x4 replaced with one off hand made silicon bronze bolts 2017 at a cost of £300.Sails x 3 all useable.At this price you will purchase a compete yacht with all rigging/sails/lighting electrics (including NASA depth sounder) but no engine other than the Stuart Turner mentioned above, AND NO OTHER EXTRAS. ( you can have some out of date flares if you want lol)I have outboards (6hp yam twin or 4hp yam single) but will require negotiation outside of this sale if you want either.Please be advised that if you do not bother to contact me before bidding I will simply remove your bid due to the persistent time wasting dreamers prevalent on classifieds board.Happy to show you around with prior arrangement, but advertised elsewhere.Grace is a lovely old yacht and, for her size an outstandingly sea worthy little thing - I have owned her for 12 years and been out in some wild weather - and I feel guilty selling her, but trust me, nobody needs TWO wooden yachts!
