Europa TS180 Trailer Sailer

Europa TS 180.Here for sale is my TS180, based in Dereham Norfolk, this delightful little yacht was designed by the renowned DR Jacek Centrowski, and is exactly the same boat as the Jeanneau Sunfast 17, and the Fan Balt 17, still produced in Europe. Please google the Jeanneau Sunfast 17 for more details, as well as the Fan Balt 17, additional data can be found at boat-specs.com, and Jeanneau.com.The Balt version is still produced on the continent priced at 14,000 Euros.These little yachts are best described as the smallest proper 4 berth yacht ever built.She has only been sailed in fresh water (Rutland Water) so has never been anti-fouled. The boat has been sailed only 6 or 7 times, due to ill health, and as such she is in exceptionally brilliant condition.Her sails are crisp, her cushions etc are as new.she comes with a mainsail with reefing points and a yanked on foresail.All her running rigging is led aft through coach roof clutch locks, allowing everything to be done from the cockpit. Her mast is easily raised single handedly.The trailer is galvanised so is in excellent condition. The only consumable items on the trailer are the tyres, as they’ve been subject to the strength of the sun, if I sell her for full asking price I would happily replace both tyres locally before the tow away for the new skipper.

She comes complete with various fenders, an anchor with chain and warp, various mooring warps, electric submersible bilge pump for washing the cockpit when she is afloat, an anti theft insert for the hitch lock, and there is a Mariner 3.5 Hp outboard, with less than 20 hours use available for separate negotiation.I’m only selling because at 65 I find dry sailing, hitching up, launching and recovery etc a little arduous, and I can hire a boat through my yacht club very reasonably.My price is firm, as the same boat costs 14,000 Euros new today, and a Jeanneau Sun Fast 17 usually sells for £7k, with all of them having many more hours on their clock than mine, and with the usual gel coat crazing that minor bumps make inevitable, my hull is 100% craze free.Please contact me on 0phone to discus, I’m happy to discuss any questions you may have.I am not contactable during the mornings, as that is my dog walking time, and my phone coverage is very poor. I am contactable up to 20.00.Thanks for looking.
