Leisure 22 Sailing Boat

Hi there,Welcome to the auction of our 1974 Leisure Sailing Boat - presently lying ashore at Great Wakering, Southend. Puffin is a Leisure 22 bilge keel we've owned for nearly ten years. For five years we sailed her from a deep water mooring in Fowey, Cornwall before moving her over to the East Coast. We're selling her due to a young family, a lack of time and about to move back to Truro, Cornwall. We've been a member of the Leisure Owners Association.

Puffin is an incredibly solid boat, dry inside, a lot of fun, but could now do with work to bring her up to scratch. Under our ownership: We have had all the standing rigging, turnbuckles etc replaced. (2010) £920She was fitted with a new Furlex 50 roller reefing (2010)New seacocksLED cabin lightsSilva - depth sounder. She is fitted with a VHF and has a new antenna, her sail number is 112L. She has a main sail and genoa.

The boom has been removed and is kept in the cockpit for storage. She is fitted with a both manual and fixed bilge pumps. She has been covered but not been cleaned, antifouled or varnished for 18-24 months. With some work she could realise £2,500. Presently she is stored at a very good boatyard - £185 for three months.

They also have reasonably priced moorings with direct access to the River Roach and Kentish Knock. She can be lifted onto a flatbed trailer for removal at the buyers expense for £95 plus VAT. Some months after purchasing Puffin on 19/01/09 we requested a survey - very happy to share this with a serious buyer. The fusebox is old, temperamental - presently the electrics do not work. Their is no gas on the boat, no trailer, tender or outboard motor.
