Sadler Seawych 19 sailing yacht boat with sails and trailer Recently partially refurbished project which I've been slowly working on for 3 years, with a few jobs left for the new owner to complete it they wish. Affectionately named "Mudshark" or more recently "Tarka". The Seawych is a 19ft bilge keel trailer-sailor, sleeps 4 people in 1 double bed and 2 single berths. Decent 4’6” headroom, and approx. 6’6” berths.
There’s a single toilet and small galley with single camping stove and sink with manual hand pump tap. There’s plenty of locker space for storage. Have a Google for more information if you've not seen them before. Very rare setup; originally fitted with internal petrol engine which has since been removed, however the driveshaft, fuel connectors and exhaust fittings are still installed if wishing to re-convert. An outboard mount is fitted if you wish to add a long shaft outboard (not included).
I've saved some additional photos here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NwfMrYgHnJi5hpx38 Interior Recently repainted interior with new carpet and backrests reupholstered. Seat cushions recently DIY reupholstered too (slight fabric colour mismatch, but close enough). Galley backboards recovered with vinyl. New LED interior lights and solar panel charger have been installed - although final wiring, solar panel, nav lights and battery need completing. Removable table-top that converts to double bed which has had a couple of rough coats of epoxy and would benefit a heavy sand/varnish.
Sink with space below for fresh and waste-water carriers (not included). Original toilet under the bow berth unchecked or tested. Rigging and sails Custom made stainless A-Frame permanently fitted to the bow, making single-handed raising and lowering of the mast etc a simple task (fantastic feature!). Original roller reefing mainsail on boom, and roller furling head-sail. Both in good used condition.
Halyards, topping lift and furling lines recently replaced with new. Main-sheet could do with being replaced. Rigging is in reasonable condition although old, and I'd recommend replacing some turnbuckles. Port and starboard original winches with winch handles included. If I were keeping, I'd fit a simple back-stay tensioner and possibly bring the lines back to the cockpit.
Main sail and jib in good, clean and still pretty crisp condition. Jib sheets tied on. Been stored inside in the dry since I bough the boat. Cockpit / deck Deck in reasonably good condition with original gel coat. Some small chips and cracks, with some having been repaired and some not.
New cockpit locker tops recently made from 12mm plywood and roughly epoxied, would benefit a sand/varnish to look better and give UV protection. Grab handles and hatch surround have been sanded and would benefit from the same. Original Houdini hatch has been removed and fully refurbished with all new seals. Has a slight leak so would benefit some sealing. Custom sprayhood fitted on stainless frame, recently washed and in good condition.
The plastic tracks it feeds into are a little tight and could benefit from changing to metal. Hull and keels The hull is in good condition with no significant damage or wear. A single coat of antifouling recently applied, with around half a tin supplied to apply a second coat. The surface was lightly sanded but isn't smooth. The blue painted hull sides have some fender/rope rub but are largely in good condition.
Keels and shoes in good condition, port keel has a tiny amount of weeping rust from the front. Tiller and rudder in good varnished condition with some marks/old repaired damage. Trailer Good overall condition with bearings recently removed, checked and re-greased. Brand new tyres fitted in March 2019, the spare a bit perished but usable in a pinch. Brakes free and in working order with one side’s pads recently de-laminating from their shoes, but have since been 2-part epoxied and clamped so is good to tow, although I'd recommend replacement pads if you plan to tow far or regularly.
Winch and jockey wheel work well. Extras Included is an anchor (but no chain, just some old warp), small gas camping stove, a selection of fenders/ropes/warps and a boarding ladder. Yellow horseshoe buoy and bracket installed to starboard push-pit, along with Ensign on the stern. 6m x 4m tarp included which is good to winter cover ashore. There’s a small spares box including shackles/pins etc.
I’ll also try to include my printed Seawych owner’s manual if I can find it (otherwise available from the Seawych Owners Association – which I highly recommend joining). I've some spare fabric, plus wire curtain line and hooks, which should be enough to fit curtains if desired. There’s also a light-board / extension cable, and ratchet straps/ropes to secure to the trailer. __________________________ Overall a fantastic practically ready to go boat for its age with almost everything you need to get you on the water, plus some small projects left to make it your own. I’ve listed the boat at what I feel is a fair price given the condition and what’s included, and how much has been spent on it (a lot more than I’m asking!).
That being said, I’m open to reasonable offers near the asking price. Naturally the boat is sold as seen and not necessarily as described. Viewing / collection is available just outside Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. A £100 deposit upon confirmation by PayPal/bank transfer is preferred, with the rest either in cash on collection – or cleared bank transfer before collecting. The boat is advertised on classifieds elsewhere.
