Nigel's Houseboat is For Sale
|
Admiral' 17.5 meters x 7m beam x .6m draft. Moored Murray Bridge, South Australia. Alloy hulls. 75 HP Outboard. 240 volt generator. Excellent fit out and condition. Ready to go again as a comfortable floating, mobile home. Nigel and his family have been living on Admiral for several years now, cruising the River Murray in South Australia. Their watery home is now for sale, because Nigel has got carpentry work in Port Lincoln and they'd like to buy a house there.. 'Admiral' has been built in survey in 1985 for self drive hire, but because in recent times the family was living aboard it has not needed to have the boat for chartering work, and the survey lapsed. Nigel tells me that 'Admiral' could easily be got back into survey. The guest cabin was originally two cabins, and the structure is in place to allow that to be easily changed back if this was desired. It may be that Nigel could be convinced to make the change if the new owner wished for that to happen, as part of the sale arrangements. Sleeps up to ten. Fully furnished. TV, Stereo, Two Way Radio, Washing Machine, Dryer, New Gas Stove, Micro Wave Oven, Sundry Kitchen Appliances, Gas Heating, R/C Air Con, Furniture etc. |

NIS 29 'Look Sharp'
This boat was built over several years in NSW by Andrew Taylor around ten years ago. He put in to it a level of care, planning and workmanship that most professionals would envy. The hull has been built from Gaboon Ply and sealed inside and out with Bote Cote epoxy resin for long life, low maintenance and great strength. The fresh water storage, head, galley, soft furnishings, hatches, solar panels, radios, safety equipment and ground tackle are all of high order. I was present at various stages of the construction and can attest to the superb quality of the build. |
The motor is a well maintained late model 10 hp Yamaha 4stroke with the high thrust prop and battery charging, perfect for this boat. I have sailed this boat on the Derwent, Storm Bay and around to Lewisham recently, and was delighted with the performance and condition of the boat. Simply, it is like new. All the Norwalk Islands Sharpies have a deserved reputation for easy handling, performance and seakeeping, and this boat is right up there. Can it be this good? Nothing is perfect, and all boats are work in progress. You could make the reefing and some aspects of the running gear simpler for off shore single handed sailing, and some tuning of the sails batten pockets, would make the otherwise 'like new' sails perfect. But in the meantime, you'll have a low maintenance sailing home, that can sneak into creeks with the board up, comfortably sit out the tide on mud flats and moorings no one else wants and with shifting scenery whenever you want it. |
It's a tragedy for Malcolm, his crook back does not permit this much excitement any more. On the other hand it's really a gift for someone who appreciates craftsmanship and and a very versatile and capable boat. A new one to this standard would not leave a lot of change just for the materials and equipment. $89,500.00 More Pics |
