Fiordiligy - 12 Ton Sloop

 

Having owned and loved Fiordiligy for over 10 years, present circumstances regretfully dictate that I need to find a new caring owner. Built in 1967, Fio is in excellent fettle and is fully kitted out for long distance comfortable cruising, with all necessary safety and navigation equipment, EPIRB, liferaft, gps, radar etc. Vital statistics: Length 37 ft., Beam 11 ft. Draught 1.5 metres.
This year’s summer trip took her from Milford Haven up the West coast of Wales, England and Scotland as far as Tobermory, then South via Islay down the East coast of Ireland and back across the Irish Sea, to her summer mooring in Dale, Milford Haven. From the 1st October she will be in her winter berth at Milford Marina.
An opportunity to own an excellent example of a 12 tonner for £25000 or near sensible offer.

'Spray'

 I currently own Spray, which I believe was the first motor launch built by Hillyard in 1925, so something of a key boat in the Hillyard story..   It appears to have been commissioned for naval use during WWII.
It is now unused and ashore [near Plymouth] and I am keen to sell it, not least to avoid an historic boat falling beyond repair.
Spray is a 30’ launch with 2 berths and cockpit space for about 10.  It was in commission until last year, and the engine [now a Nanni diesel] was substantially rebuilt just 4-5 years ago.   However the exterior needs tlc – the deck needs some resealing, there are probably a couple of planks to replace and brightwork needs revarnishing.   It needs some time by a person with basic boat maintenance skills to bring it back to sound use but I’m not aware that there is anything substantially wrong.
I wonder if, through your association networks, you could alert anyone who may be interested in viewing Spray with a view to buying at a realistic ‘quick sale’ price.
Some recent photos are attached for information.

"Anne" - 4 Ton

Hello all Hillyard - enthusiasts
Next to my Vertue in Kampen (Netherlands) there is a very nice and clean 4-to Hillyard "Anne" ( 6,50 x 2,20 x 1,10 m) to be seen and for sale. She is afloat, but in need of painting and caulking. She is empty, her joinery had been taken out, but is to 75 % existing and could easily be reinstalled. Her plankwork is pitchpine and is sound. From the inside she is very clean.

There is a 7 hp 2-stroke Vire engin to be installed. "Anne" has a nice good teakdeck and mahogany- superstructure.
She is  gaff rigged with bouwsprit and as-new sails. Mast, gaff and gig varnished and in good order, also all her rigging. The hatches are as new. There is some work to be done to the small deep cockpit, i.e. the cockpit sole.
All together: after the words of the head Mr. Bakker of the renowned "Kroes" boatyard, where "Anne" is moored, during winter ashore under cover, "Anne" is absolutely sound, but needs some reconditioning.
"Anne" is owned by the Kroes- yard. They ask 3000 Euro, which means about 2.600 British pounds or maybe a bit less, a bargain indeed.
Please contact Mr. Bakker (www.kroesbootbouwers.nl , there you will see the advertisement under "te koop" together with 3 fotos of "Anne"). His mail address: kroesbootbouwers@gmail.com, his telephone number: 0031 383312684

 Lady Corinne -12 Ton

For Sale - Our cherished 1939 12 Ton Hilyard Ketch "Lady Corinne"

A beautiful 45 foot overall double ended, carvel planked hull with
Pitch Pine planking on Oak Frames she was started in Littlehampton  in
1939 and the hull was completed before the yard turned its attention
to the war effort.  During the next few years she lay in a mud berth
where the salt water preserved her timbers until she was finished and
commissioned in 1945 She was the first boat to leave the Hilyard yard
after the war.
She has had a colourful life including many years as an RAF training
ship after being bought to replace one of the windfall yachts gained
from the Luftwaffe which was dashed on the rocks somewhere off the
French coast.  We returned to Chichester last year after a 16 day
Transatlantic crossing from the Cape Verde Islands to St Lucia in the
Caribbean after which followed an extended cruise around the Islands.
The final chapter saw us enter her for the Antigua Classics in 2010
where we achieved 2nd in class and second place in the Privately
Maintained Concours de Elegance.  In spite of her years this Lady is
still turning heads - a true beauty she really is a gem and is much
admired everywhere she goes getting praise from lots of passing boats.
 She has a ton of solid Douglas Fir for her main mast together with a
beautiful 8' Bowsprit and a short Bumpkin.

Hattie 1970 11 ton ketch

Length 33ft, built in 1970

Hattie has been a great family boat. We have sailed her down the south coast from Rye in Sussex to the Scillies. She is a very seaworthy and comfortable boat, great for exploring the coast and rivers and will cruise at 6 knots in most conditions. She has a long keel with bilge plates, drawing about 1m, which makes her very forgiving in shallow water and we have taken her up the Tamar to Calstock, regularly up to Gweek on the Helford, explored the Scillies and many other interesting places. Previous owners have taken her to Greece and in the French canals as the masts can be easily lowered and raised again on their tabernacles.

There is good headroom throughout, I am nearly 6'2" and can stand comfortably. The bunks are a good size and the separate cabins add convenience. There is great live aboard potential on this boat.

Hattie had a major refit in 2002 which included new Nanni/Kubota 62hp 5cyl diesel engine, gearbox and instruments, stainless long range fuel tank, hot water system, new keel bolts, re-galvanising of deck fittings and new sails and covers. Since then we have continued to maintain and improve her with new heads fore and aft, large fresh water tank, stainless steel cooker and stainless rigging and davits.

2009 insurance survey available.

Further details can be found on boatshed.com (http://falmouth.boatshed.com/hillyard_11_ton-boat-110316.html) and on gweek quay and ancaster websites. She is currently moored on the Helford river and winters in Gweek Quay.

Blink Bonnie

The current owner of Blink Bonnie writes;

I have a 9 ton Hillyard in need of restoration, I have had the boat assesed by a professional wooden boat builder and he feels the boat is well worth restoring. I have all the bits with the exception of the mast and would be willing to pass the boat on to some one who could complete the project. I have just taken a new job and have another boat so I now realise I will never be able to complete the Hillyard, which is ashore in a yard near Chichester, it seems a shame to see such a lovely boat go to ruin, so if you know of anyone looking I would be glad to here.

Mynute 2½ Ton Gaff

This boat has been lovingly restored, under cover, in Cornwall, regrettably personal circumstances force me to sell prior to completion of the internal fit.

The external restoration has been carried out to the highest standard, with complete replacement of the wood from the Gunwales up. Inside the woodwork has been sanded and painted and some frames repaired, the interior has been fully painted. The hull is in excellent condition and was fully chaulked.

The work so far includes;

New Deck, New Rubbing Strakes, New Hatch, New Windows, New Mast, Long keel removed and shot blasted, New Gun Metal keel bolts, and a completely renovated engine refurbished and installed by Cellar Marine Ltd, Stern Tube and glands by Norris of Isleworth.

The interior includes a factory refurbished Baby Blake Toilet. All wood inside and out was sanded down to bare wood and repainted/treated by Blakes Ltd Products. Most of the original fittings have been retained, except for the rudder, which along with the stainless steel fittings, is completely new.

All that is required to finish the project is the Standing rigging, Sails, and some carpentry in the cabin, and minor electric's.

There are a couple of Hillyards on Ebay that need new loving homes.

First up is a 9 tonner (1965).
It needs new decks and coamings, but the hull and deck beams are apparently mostly sound. She looks to be complete and original.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hillyard-9-ton-33ft-1965-/260827575215?pt=UK_Sporting_Goods_Sailing_Boats_ET&hash=item3cba88f3af

The other one is a 1934 6 tonner, described as basically sound, but needing tlc.

Always a shame to see these fine boats looking so sad, but maybe there is someone out there who is looking for a project to take on, so if you know anyone who may be interested, then please forward them the details!
