Opportunity to finish off and own a 16 ft double masted ketch
The Lapwing is a design of Graham Byrnes of B & B Yacht Designs
I built an earlier design - the Core Sound 17 and sailed her for a number of years. That boat had a hard chine - when Graham came up with the clinker ply plans I knew I had to build it. When I was in Auckland I had a double garage and could work under cover. I finished 80% of the build. At that point in time we moved to Wellington - and for the last 4 years I have had no covered space to finish the last 10% of the project (mainly painting the cockpit and putting on the side decks). .
I have all the plans, a full set of sails, both masts and a road trailer.
We are moving soon so for a number of reasons it it time to pass the boat to someone else. You could do this as an individual or you might want to have some co-owners to spread the cost. The boat can be sailed singe handed but is happiest with 2 or 4 crew. I will be letting her go for the the cost of materials. I will be available to be a consultant to help on the finishing and rigging.
If you are interested let me know and we can make a time to show you over. I am based in Vogeltown .
