Interesting boats

Interesting project or scary mess...

Boat looks like it could be interesting, but very hard to tell from pictures how much needs to be finished and/or redone.

Cool and likely a bargain for someone who knows boats.
If it was here in Oz I'd be looking for sure.

Tell me I am not crazy to like this boat....please.

custom coastal cruiser

Donsan / Guru,
Are you still on this site? Someone told me about your post about Albula, so I thought I would touch base with you since I am the owner of her. I bought her after those pictures were taken as these do not show the modifications made. A 3 foot swim platform was added to her hull extending her water line from 56 feet to 59 feet and a back entrance door was built in for easy access. If you would like to learn more about her, please do reach out.

Draft 65ft???
Fuel 4000 gallons???
Engine hours 10???

Very interesting

It is as though some brokers and sellers don't read the listing once they put it up.
65ft is probably the LWL.

It really does show you how little some brokers care about their listings. To not re-read your listing is simply negligent, IMO. My pet peeve is how rarely draft is part of the main specs, and how often listing photographs do not show useful details of engine rooms. And then there's the lack of a single image that shows the state of the batteries, and their wiring...

While I was looking for Anneka-J I eliminated many possible boats on these criteria alone.

Not sure of this has surfaced here before, but some serious lust going on here. Great pedigreed yard and designer.

Vic Frank is one of the most successful designers for beautiful, well built boats.

That's another of Vic's great "pleasure craft" creations!

 

[Frosty]

That Vic Franck is stunning

 

[healhustler]

Man...I’d have to place that Vic Frank among the Flemings and Krogen Express for the queen of good looks.

Here is another Garden boat.
Taken in walsh cove, they had started their day in the Broughtons.

Can't remember the hp, but it was impressive

That's a Bill Garden design. Vic Frank is the builder.

 

[Alaskaflyer]

Speaking of Garden designs, here's another. Several interesting things about her, including the Portuguese bridge, the drum windlass (on a luxury yacht) and the layout of the master stateroom, among other things.

All those nice pix and not ONE looking down from that crow's nest!

 

[darkside]

This Salthouse 58 has a similar look on a smaller scale.
A bit narrow in the beam but lovely looking boat.

65 Willy!

[Island Cessna]

65 Willy!

Also a Bill Garden design!

 

[Nomad Willy]

And this on’s been repowered w a JD.
I suspect you’re seeing all 80hp looking at both the bow and stern waves.
The rest of the boat may have been up-graded also.
That would make this a scream’in buy .... IMO

How can you beat that!

A bit different in scale to the Hargraves I worked on for several years.

For a moment I thought you meant a 65 foot Willard [emoji50]

 

[Hippocampus]

Kocomo is a classic. Timeless lines.

I recognize Kokomo from Sydney Harbour. My search says owned by Lang Walker, wealthy Sydney property developer. Beautiful lines.

She’s back!

https://www.yachtworld.com/boats/1985/sparkman-stephens-54-trawler-3825848/

The Esprit was advertised here and elsewhere for sale in 2019, it now appears she is back on the market. I see that the mast has been removed in favor of a lower profile mount for the radar antenna. My guess is she made the loop, or was prepping for it? Or maybe the new owner wanted better visibility from the upper helm.

Still love her, even though below-decks she isn’t configured the way I would need her to be.

 

[Alaskaflyer]

From when she was for sale in 2019:

 

[Adopo]

Neat boat, looks like it sold for around 155k. I bet you could put 5 times that into it to get it in yacht condition. But you prob don't need to...like the mast as was.

For sale in Friday Harbor

Any chance a Friday Harbor member has any insight on this beauty??
At the price offered, one has to ask when she will be 'Raised'.
