14' 6' Iain Oughtred designed Whilly boat

She is glued lapstrake construction, built in 2005. Okoume marine plywood planking on a Honduras mahogany backbone, fastened with West System epoxy and silicon bronze screws. Thwarts, floors, centerboard, and trim are mahogany and cherry. Mast, gaff and boom are spruce. Includes main sail, rigging, oars and an almost new EZLoader trailer.

I have sailed and rowed her around Alameda for many wonderful years, but now my other wooden boat is taking up all of my "project" time. Hope to find a family that will enjoy her.

Bird Boat #22


Hummingbird is for sale!
After extensive rebuilding Hummingbird is a tough fast bay area classic. Built in 1932 she is the only George Knease bird boats left and one of 6 regularly sailing the bay. She is fast powerful and elegant, yet easily single handed.
As of June 2012 when she was last hauled she has new topside and bottom paint, all of her seams were reefed, re-cottoned and payed with seam compound. All of her planking is now bronze fastened. She had 5 planks replaced and while she bare wood all planking was checked repaired where necessary. (I have sample fasteners for inspection). Her decks have been replaced including her aft deck which is now laid teak. She has a new stem, transom and all ribs have been replaced.
Her mast, boom standing rigging and running rigging are in great shape, they include tiller extension and self tailing main winch. Her Pineapple sails have less than 2 seasons on them. She has a new battery and auto bilge pump however she does not take on any water.
I have some of her original parts and she retains some original woodwork. She is a great model of one of the oldest one design classes on the west coast.

She can be viewed by calling 510 282 6506.

Asking $20,000, or reasonable offer.





1936 Alden Cutter


Lovely John G. Alden designed one of a kind Cutter.
Built in 1936 in the Palmer Johnson Shipyard. The hull and deck house are built of mahogany the decks are teak. 36 feet on deck, she has a full compliment of sails and several extras as well. I can stand up in the cabin and am slightly over six feet tall. The deck house is divided into an aft pilot's berth, which sleeps two, the main salon which sleeps five, the galley, a forward storage area, and the head. There are separate entrances to the pilot's berth and the main salon, so that the crew can go up on deck with out disturbing the rest of the pilots.

She has had a fairly recent haul out and survey which found her to be sound. We were fitting her out for an electric engine because the original atomic four was no longer functional and we did not want to stick with a gasoline engine on a wooden boat. So included in the sale would be eight 80 AH AGM batteries, and one 100 AH AGM as well as a couple of deep cycle marine batteries, all in solid working condition.
She is a beautiful boat who needs a bit of love to make her truly shine. The bulwark has some dry rot and needs to be repaired/replaced, but the rot does not extend to the shear plank and is thus more cosmetic than structural. She needs some painting and varnishing, but the hull is sound and she is in remarkable condition for her age. Sale includes the original Kelvin and White compass which mounts in the binnacle and is gently illuminated by an indirect red light and is a piece of art in itself. She is berthed in Moss Landing.

Please email Jack with any questions, to arrange a time to see her or to request more photographs. There are many photos, but they do not do her justice, you really must go aboard to fully appreciate her.. She is a one of a kind sailing vessel designed and built by masters in a time when ship building was still the purview of sailors.

Asking $13,000 OBO.

26ft Chris Craft

Hubba Hubba is the name for this 26', 1966 Chris Craft Cavalier, a classic wood, bay boat with twin engines (305 hp), ready to take you out for a day! Recent survey has been done (May 2012). It runs! About 9 years ago I had it 'wooded' (painted completely removed to the wood) and repainted. I put in about $40,000 into it. It is an amazing boat in looks and speed, but I just don't use it enough to justify it. It has been berthed under the awnings at Alameda Marina for the last several years. It needs a loving owner with 'boat time' to play with it and use it.

Nunes Bros. Hurricane, hull #2 "Hanaloa"

SOLD


LOA 30'3"
Beam 7'9"
Draft 4'-8"
Displacement 11000Lbs.

Built in 1946 with full length 7/8" Alaskan fir planks on oak frames, iron fastened. Ballast is 4200lbs of lead.

Not enough space to be a plausible live a board, the cabin trunk is low enough for excellent visibility.  I think of her as a very manageable day sailor other than reefing the large main can be a handful.

Currently lying in Moss Landing, CA in a transferable slip but there isn't really enough air there for this boat, designed to race up in the bay area.

While I did sail her up until a year ago, she needs a lot of work...
The cutlass bearing is super sloppy, the aft hatches need replacement.  The cockpit is sort of cut up.  She needs partial refastening and some caulking at some point.  The transom is a mess, and so on.  The planking is sound and very few frames are cracked, a couple in the quarters as I recall.

The good news:
Good running atomic-4, recently overhauled.
Good sail inventory, a set of tatty working sails and a set of nearly new sails and well as a small storm jib.
Spare mast.
Full cover in generally very good shape.
New battery, charger, bilge pump and switch.
New fore hatch a couple years back, very nice.

Finances: Mostly I just want her to get the love she needs, lets say $2500 as a fully-refundable deposit, just show me you got some of the work done in the next year and you get up to $2000 back.

For further information, I can be reached at pzachary@got.net or at (831) 461 1172.

1936 Marconi rigged sloop Volante 42′

Must  sell!

1936 42′ Nunes Bros sloop Volante. 2 sets of sails, running Perkins diesel motor, all teak interior. Hauled 2 years ago and was out of the water for a month. Did a thorough job on the hull (didn’t find any rot, but took the time to really go over the planks and seams), including a 3 coats of paint above & below the water line, and replaced 2 of 7 keel bolts (aft and fore). The remaining 5 looked ok and replacing them would be more nice to do than must do. Replaced the zinc. Have been working on the topside on & off over the past 2 years. The cabin top has been fully refinished and was going to start on the decks. The decks aren’t bad but there are a few spots that need the wood replaced. The 60′ mast is down, but not for any reason other than I had the boat in a covered slip. The boat has an iron keel and the hull is iron fastened.

Volante won the Master Mariners twice, 1st place in 1986 and 3rd in 1989, and it’s not hard to imagine her winning again.  She also took their Perpetual Dead Eye Award in 1989.

Overall the boat is sound and doesn’t require any major work. I never thought I wouldn’t finish her restoration — it wasn’t a major project when I started and it still isn’t — but things happen and plans change. I really don’t have a choice, I have to let the boat go and immediately. I wanted to get $10k but I don’t think I have time to go through a long drawn out sales process so in effort for  a quick sale, I decided to ask just $7k, as is. It’s possible to keep the boat where she is in Pt Richmond, but let me know if that is your intention. If that is the case, we can go over those details and make the arrangement with the marina. If not, please be prepared to move the boat at the time of purchase.

You can look at the boat any time. I’ve made arrangements with another boater at the marina who will show the boat if I can’t be there. The boat is in Pt Richmond, I-580 exit at Canal Street.

I wasn’t able to take any pictures before posting this ad. However,  I found a picture of a boat that looks enough like mine for you get a visual idea. Again, this is NOT my boat. This is like mine.

Call 415-336-2834 any time between 8am-10pm. Please serious buyers only. I don’t have enough time to waste any.

Included in the price are various boat things such as life jackets, materials for the boat, etc.

Not the boat, just similar to the boat for sale!!

1926 monterey style 35 ft commercial fishing trawler- converted


This historic trawler was built in Sausalito in 1926, fished commercially up to 2006, then professionally converted at the Spaulding Center.  The aft cabin was added to be an artist studio but the engine is still in fantastic running condition and it has been maintained as a running live-aboard ever since the conversion.  The current owner has too many wooden boats and would like this one to go to someone who will care for her well.  Current owner is also a charter captain and has made some upgrades toward using the boat as a 6-passenger sightseeing/spectating boat for the upcoming America’s Cup.  Asking $25,000 or best offer.  Registered commercial, salmon permits could be renewed.  email heather@studioheather.com to see the Famiglia Santa
