Owners comments +
Skipjack has the potential to be a round-the-world, go anywhere boat.
The hulls, beams, sails, engine and sillette leg are sound.
She has a wheelhouse which has proved invaluable shelter crossing the Atlantic and also in rough Aegean seas.
The hulls have been modified, raised slightly to give vastly improved accommodation below.
There are four self-contained double berths, though one has been removed to install a table.
The hulls and beams have been expertly built by a Dutch craftsman using mahogany ply with redwood for the stringers.
The mast originally rotated,. It is strapped at present but could be converted back.
Skipjack takes any sea with perfect calm and even without a backed jib heaves to with satisfying steadiness.
Skipjack is immensely strong and with sacrificial strips under the hulls is able to take the beach with complete safety. -

IMPORTANT
While the basics are in good to excellent order, there is a month's worth of not difficult or expensive DIY needed to bring her up to scratch.
For example, deck could do with repainting, antifouling stripping back, interior redecorating, toilet pump replaced.
The central deck and chain locker needs rebuilding.
I intend doing some of this work this spring, but will reduce the selling price if the new owner is prepared to take her as is.
I do not have many 'selling type' photos as when I left her last autumn I had no intention of selling. I am doing so now due to age (mine, not Skipjack's)
She deserves a younger, fitter owner who will bring her back up to scratch and sail her over the horizon where she belongs.
