For sale: enterprise racing sail boat

[Endfloat]

Enterprise racing dinghy

Here is your chance to own a great racing sail boat. This particular boat has won many races in the hands of its previous owner.

I bought this boat with the idea in mind to give her a lick of varnish and learn to sail in her, but between time constraints and so on, I never got the chance.

She's been sitting in a dry shed for the past 2 years covered up. Shes all there, and just needs someone who knows a thing or two about sailing to rig her up and have some fun with her.

Mast, boom, mainsail and jib are all perfect. She's completely solid on a great roadworthy launching trailer, and even includes a trailerboard. The road wheels are also new.

What needs to be done? Spend a weekend applying a few coats of two-pack varnish on the top of the deck, and source a new rudder. Then she's ready to sail!
Also, the blue tarpaulin cover has a tear in it which could be sewn up by a sailmaker, and the tyres on the launching trolley are flat, so would probably need new tubes.

She's a beautiful boat with great potential, so make an offer on her and take her home.

I'm looking for around €1000 for her.

Collection only from Wexford

It's about 5 miles south of Wexford town, near Rosslare. Let me know when you'd like to see it and I'll head down and meet you there.

I didn't know ye sailed Ross - I have a boat the exact same as that almost - needs about the same amount of work too - bit of varnish and a rudder!! Rudder is being made for me as we speak - I'll give ye details if ye need them.

SOLD!

Still up on ebay but its met its reserve so if you want to buy it, you'll have to stick a bid on it now. There's still nearly a week left on the auction though.

I don't actually sail, Ruairi! I tried it when I was younger and enjoyed it and I bought the boat off my friend when he was moving house with the intention of getting back into it, but between one thing and another I never got the chance to use it. Likewise, I didnt know you were into sailing!

nice dinghy. it'd look sweet behind my bus. hope the new owner fixes her up and takes her out.

Yeah it looked well attached to the back of my syncro when I was bringing it to Wexford. It was a shame to have it sitting in the barn for so long too, so hopefully the new owner has some fun with it.
