Ruffian 23 yacht; priced to sell; lying on the Clyde
We have bought a new yacht and have to sell our beautiful Ruffian 23, Spalpeen. She will be an excellent first yacht for a family or a short handed day sailer and you could thrash her round the cans at club races if you wanted to. She is a real tough lady who sails beautifully and has looked after us for the last ten years. To find out more about the fin keel Ruffian 23 Wikipedia has a useful pdf link Built in the mid 70s her original owner was Glasgow City who used her at Blairvadach outdoor centre and maintained her to the highest standards. Large sail wardrobe including a really excellent quality Genoa plus a No 2 and a storm jib – unused; two Mainsails, Spinnakers. Mainsail roller reefs onto boom. Fenders, sheets, halyards. stainless steel safety lines (lazy Jacks both sides), stanchions and guard wires. Deep, self draining cockpit. Anchor and chain. Gas bottle in separate box in lazarette Compass, echo/depth sounder, VHF radio, navigation lights (Battery is flat and electrics are not guaranteed) Two V berths, two quarter berths. Gas cooker, chart table, toilet under companionway. Powered by an outboard. The outboard in the pictures is not included in the sale except by agreement. We can give you an old two stroke outboard which worked four years ago but no guarantees. Condition. This is a forty year old boat and we accept that she is getting a bit tatty. However we believe she is sound, we know she sails like a dream and with a bit of TLC you could have her back to her glory. The sails and berth cushions are not on board currently, they are stored ashore in a dry environment. Over wintered ashore every year. Anti-fouled with International Micron . Currently berthed at James Watt Dock Marina, Greenock. To view Spalpeen, or if you have any questions, please email me. Sorry but mobile reception where we are is diabolical so texts are out! Priced at £900 as seen to sell quickly. We have purchased another boat and we will be happy to negotiate a quick sale and see Spalpeen go to a good home rather than hang on for 'market price'.
