Price: Free to a new home

About her
‘Maxima Culpa’ is a classic Harrier single-handed dinghy looking for a new owner to bring her back to her full potential. Her current owner describes her as very stable on the water and an absolute joy to sail; she would make a fantastic short project for any sailor looking for a rewarding winter restoration.

The pictures accompanying this listing are several years old, but the boat is believed to be in good condition. The GRP hull is reportedly sound, although the fibreglass paint is peeling in some areas, most notably the foredeck. The boat will require a complete rubbing down and a fresh repaint.

Onboard equipment

- Tiller
- Steel mast with rigging stays
- Steel boom with main sail attached
- Pair of inflatable buoyancy bags (condition unknown due to age)

'Pinguino' Sparkman & Stephens SHE 32C
Ashore near the Humber, North Lincolnshire
Free to a new home

To register interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

Key facts:
Designer: Sparkman & Stephens
Model: SHE 32C
Year: 1975
Length: 9.7m | 32ft
Beam: 2.84m | 9.32ft
Draught: 1.6m | 5.25ft
Keel: Fin with external lead ballast, skeg-hung rudder
Rig: Masthead sloop
Displacement: 9100 lbs
Accommodation: 6 berths in 2 cabins, toilet compartment, full standing headroom
Steering: Tiller
Price: Free

About the boat
‘Pinguino’ is a well-loved project boat, offered for free to a new owner willing to take on the restoration. The boat will need some significant work before she can return to the water.
Sparkman & Stephens yachts are respected for their build quality and offshore cruising pedigree. This model is a direct evolution of the competitive SHE 31, offering a more cruiser-friendly variant reportedly appreciated by owners for its stiffness, seagoing ability and excellent windward performance, even in heavy swell.
Pinguino’s previous owner had been undertaking a full refit since buying her in 2000, and a new wooden interior and bunks are reported to have been fitted. Unfortunately, the full extent of the work completed and the work still required is not documented, and no formal maintenance records have been located. However, ‘Pinguino’ is said to have been kept clean and well maintained until the last couple of years, and could make a very appealing and worthwhile project for someone willing to take on the work.

Engine
The boat is equipped with a Yanmar YSE12 believed to be in working condition. The engine was reconditioned in the 1990s, but originally dates from the 1970s. According to the family, the engine had very little use apart from regular start-ups until early 2025. An engine manual/booklet is available onboard, along with other instruction manuals and her registration certificate.

Rig
The status of the rig is unknown, although the boat is supplied with an aluminium mast and boom. There are sails and lines onboard, also of unknown condition. It is suspected that the rigging will need to be replaced.

Other equipment
- Full rudder (stored inside the boat)
- Various electronic instruments
- Compass, stove and lifejackets
- Other onboard equipment and fittings, some of which are visible in the photographs supplied.

Location and collection
Pinguino is currently ashore in a cradle, with storage fees paid through to November. The boat can likely be taken over in situ, or removed at the new owner’s expense. There is no formal payment arrangement currently in place, but previously, storage was paid biannually. There is a crane at the yard.
Please note that this boat cannot be sailed away from its current location, as the lock gates providing access to the Humber have been out of action for some time.

Before you apply
This boat disposal is being managed by the previous owner’s estate, and Pinguino is to be rehomed as seen: all of the available information is contained in this listing. The family hopes that she will find a new lease of life rather than be scrapped.
If you have any questions about the boat or the re-homing process, please ask before applying. However, please note that this advert contains all the information we currently have on this vessel.

It seems to be a season of Freedoms: now we have a Freedom 35.

Freedom 35 'Sarann'
Afloat near Ipswich, Suffolk
Applications closed

To register interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

Key facts:
Designer: Garry Hoyt
Berths: 6; headroom in the saloon 6 ft
Sail plan: Cat ketch (unstayed carbon fibre masts)
Length: 10.59 m (34 ft 9 in)
Beam: 3.35m
Keel: Long keel with 2.5 t of lead ballast, plus a centreboard with 0.5 t of lead; displacement 12,000 lb (about 5.4 t)
Draught: 1.28m (2.25m with centreboard)
Price: Free

About her
This Freedom 35 is a bit of a special build. Already a famously sturdy boat, this one has been described as a bit of a 'one off'.
Her owner reports a balsa-sandwich GRP hull, believed to have been built on the Isle of Man and finished in Falmouth. This Freedom 35 in particular has aluminium beaching legs, allowing for her to stay upright when berthing/anchoring in drying land. The Freedom 35 also has two freestanding masts (similar to our Freedom 40 we had listed earlier this month). Main and mizzen sails reported to be Crusader, new about 6 years ago (Slab reefing).

Fitout
- Wind vane self steering by Scanmar (fitted by her owner in about 2000), with two vanes: standard and light-airs
- Tiller pilot, working through the Scanmar gear in light winds
- CQR anchor on chain. Manual windlass
- Inflatable dinghy, make unknown, but in good condition
- Parachute drogue, 30 ft diameter, used as a sea anchor in heavy weather
- Wind, depth, speed and engine instruments in the cockpit; GPS and Navtex
- VHF radio
- EPIRB

History and condition
She has two water tanks and one diesel tank. Although she originally came with electrical gauges, she has since been refitted with traditional sight tubes. The boat was bought by her current owner in 1997. He has cruised her to Norway, Iceland and the Azores among other places, and reports that she is not in mint cosmetic condition but is sound and ready to go anywhere: he is letting her go only because of his age, not because she isn't seaworthy. No survey has been done since he bought her; necessary work has been carried out by boatyards as needed. Tank capacities are not known.

Engine and domestic
Her engine was replaced in March 2019 with a new Beta Marine 30hp. Last engine service April 2026. It is reported as low hours due to the Covid restrictions and reduced usage since then. Anode replaced when necessary during lift out for annual antifouling. There is a gas cooker/oven, we are told the gas cylinder is in the transom box. We are also told she has a microwave oven for when connected to shore power, a fridge that runs on shore power or with the engine running, and a galley sink with pressurised hot and cold water.
It is reported the water is heated by immersion heater on shore power, but by calorifier when engine is running. There is a heads with a shower. The heads are reported to have been replaced by the marina this summer, when the seacocks were also serviced and a new bilge pump fitted.

To register interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

We request a £200 deposit from successful applicants to secure the boat. We only request a deposit from one prospective owner, and do so to deter time-wasters. We will refund new owners who successfully remove/take over the boat within two weeks.

Freedom 40 AC Cat Ketch
Ashore near Totnes, Devon
Applications closed

To see all the pictures and to register your interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

Key facts:
Length: 40ft LOA
Beam: 12ft
Draft: About 6ft
Keel: Long fixed keel with lead ballast
Built: 1985, Western Yachts, Penryn
Rig: Cat ketch, two freestanding carbon masts
Engine: Perkins 4108 diesel
Price: Free

About her
This is quite a unique opportunity of a boat which was clearly meant to be a well-thought-out project, with carbon masts, new electronics and other improvements.
'Sandy Bottoms' is a Freedom 40 aft cockpit cat ketch, being re-homed on behalf of her late owner's estate. She is a project boat: her late owner had begun a refit, and it was not finished.
The Freedom 40 was conceived by Garry Hoyt in the mid-1970s, with a hull drawn by Halsey Herreshoff. Its defining feature is the cat ketch rig: two unstayed masts with no shrouds or stays, and no headsail to handle. All sail handling can be done from the cockpit, which made the type popular with couples and short-handed crews. The first boats had a centre cockpit. The aft cockpit version, which 'Sandy Bottoms' is, came later. Most Freedom 40s were built by Tillotson Pearson in Rhode Island, and a few were built in the UK.
All details below are as reported by her owners, or guessed from the pictures. Drop us a message for the full photo album.

Key facts:
Build: GRP, with wooden inboard seats for the crew
Sails: Main and jib, reported to be in poorer condition
Trolley: Trolley, no trailer
Price: Free to a new home

About her
This Wayfarer has just found herself at retirement age for use by sailors at Edinburgh University, but that doesn't mean she is not ready for more fun on the water! She is of GRP construction, with wooden inboard seats for the crew. Wayfarers are a staple for dinghy clubs UK-wide; used for cruising/day boats as well as club racing. Although this one is probably less suited, there is also a strong national fleet that has various TTs as well as national events.

Sails and equipment
She comes with a main and jib, however these are reported to be in poorer condition; a couple of small holes in the main, and a larger rip in the jib. There is a storage tank, however it is reported to be leaking. This boat has a trolley, but no trailer.

'Ram III' Newbridge Virgo Voyager
Ashore in Gillingham, Kent
Free to a New Home

To register interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

Key facts:
Length: 23ft
Keel: Bilge keel
Rig: Junk rig
Engine: Beta, last known to be in working order
Price: Free to a new home

To register your interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

About her
A rare chance to acquire a junk-rigged cruiser. This Newbridge Virgo Voyager, 'Ram III', is currently ashore alongside the Medway and has been out of the water for three seasons. She is being offered for re-homing by the family of the previous owner, and is understood to be in good condition, but requiring some maintenance and recommissioning work to get her back to her former glory.
'Ram III' is a 23ft bilge-keeler. Despite this small footprint, Virgo Voyagers are known for being remarkably spacious inside, with 6-foot headroom in the saloon and up to five berths if required, due to the high freeboard and cabin top design. Despite this, she should still sail well, with a high 50% ballast ratio.

Engine and rig
The boat is equipped with a Beta engine, last known to be in working order, and originally serviced regularly by a Beta engineer. On deck, there is a complete junk rig, although the running rigging likely needs to be replaced. The mast is believed to be in fair condition, as are the sails, although the sail cover is noticeably worn.

Storage and collection
The boat has been dry-stored for several years under a tarpaulin and looked in on regularly by the family and yard staff, who are all keen for the boat to go to a good home where she will be given a new lease of life.
At 23ft, this boat could be road-trailered (trailer not provided) or sailed away, and the yard can assist with organising a HIAB lift from its current location.

'Tumblehome' Sparkman & Stephens 30
Ashore near Levington, Suffolk
Free to a new home

To register interest in this boat, please drop us a message.

Today we offer a free Sparkman & Stephens 30 ashore in Suffolk.
Key facts:
Length: 30 ft (9.17 m)
Beam: 2.74 m
Draught: 1.52 m
Displacement: About 4.1 tonnes
Design: Sparkman & Stephens no. 2014, built by Aquafibre from 1971
Keel: Fin keel, skeg-hung rudder
Engine: 2002 Volvo Penta, not run for some years
Sails: Roller reefing genoa and mainsail, stored ashore
Price: Free

About her
'Tumblehome' is a Sparkman & Stephens 30: a 30-foot (9.2 m) GRP fin keel sloop, on hard standing near Levington in Suffolk, where she has been out of the water for some years. Her owner is giving her up because of ill health and needs her gone soon; he is frank that she is probably not saleable as she stands, so before she is condemned to the scrapyard we are listing her one last time. The hull is reported to appear sound, but the deck is spongy in places and damp has found its way into the topsides. She is offered as a restoration project for someone who wants a well-bred classic cruiser-racer and is prepared to put the work in.
The S&S 30 is Sparkman & Stephens design no. 2014, built in GRP by Aquafibre in the UK from 1971 (some hulls were exported to the United States and sold as the Palmer Johnson 30). She has the sweeping stern and the mix of boxy and curvy in the coachroof that mark S&S boats of that period, and underneath, the fin keel and skeg-hung rudder that S&S had introduced on the Swan 36: 9.17 m overall, 7.0 m on the waterline, 2.74 m beam and 1.52 m draught, displacing around 4.1 tonnes with roughly 1.9 tonnes of ballast. A stiff, nicely proportioned boat of her era, the class has a reputation for responsive handling and a comfortable motion at sea, proven inshore and offshore.

Condition
Her owner reports that the hull itself appears sound, but that the deck is spongy in places, and his son-in-law found some evidence of damp creeping into the topsides, particularly around the windows. The headlining needs replacing, as the photographs show. Small amounts of rainwater are said to run down the mast track onto the mast step, from where it drains into the bilges. Her engine, a 2002 Volvo Penta, was winterised when she was lifted out, but that was some years ago, and whether it will still run cannot be confirmed.

What she comes with
She comes with a roller reefing genoa and a mainsail, which have been stored off the boat, and we are aware of a VHF and a depth sounder fitted. Her owner also mentions her mast, cooker/oven, and anchor and chain among the gear, and there is an inflatable dinghy on board. Photographs taken in September 2026 are available.

Fletcher Arrowhawk 17ft with Mercury 90hp
Ashore near Dover, Kent
Free to a New Home - Offers Appreciated
To register interest in this boat, please drop us a message.
Key facts:
Length: Reported to be 17ft
Engine: Mercury Black Max 90hp 2-stroke outboard
Trailer: Road trailer
Price: Free to a new home, offers appreciated
About her
This Fletcher Arrowhawk, reported to be 17ft, comes complete with a Mercury Black Max 90hp 2-stroke outboard and a road trailer. Primarily designed for fast planing, watersports and general day-boating, this Arrowhawk has been sitting unused for the last two years. Her owner reports that she handled fine with no issues when last used, and believes that with some minor recommissioning work this classic British motorboat could be out on the water in no time.
Engine and equipment
The engine was a good runner when last taken out, and the engine tilt is reported to work. While the engine has not been started recently, her owner believes it needs a new battery, fuel change, and a standard carburettor clean to get going again.
Onboard equipment includes a marine radio, a Raymarine DS400X fish finder, said to be working, a ski pole for water sports, and fully working dashboard dials.
Road trailer
The boat comes on a road trailer, which her owner reports is solid, with good tyres and wheel bearings replaced two years ago. Please note that the trailer has surface rust, with rust on the bunk supports visible in the photos; the handbrake is currently non-operational, and the rollers are not in working order and will need attention. The hull itself also has some minor scuffs due to the broken rollers.
