pyorgosp Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 I am building a new boat (see "new design, 15' cat ketch" thread in the Design Forum) and I am offering the old one and its trailer to a good home. The boat is a heavily modified Siren (from Clarkcraft.com) with a batwing sliding gunter rig and no jib, with large buoyancy compartments. Very nice sail and oar boat (homemade oars included), quite zippy especially on a beam reach. Lots of interesting old-time details (eye-splices, wooden toggles, jiffy reefing line, etc.). The trailer is a 12' EZ-Loader galvanized steel affair: it's in fine shape with full set of working lights, etc. Asking price is $700 for boat AND trailer. Location is NW Ohio.

pyorgosp Posted February 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I provided a photo and more details on my original post. I would rather sell to a fellow builder/enthusiast than to anyone who only wants the trailer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJVir Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Looks nice, a planing dinghy? How many people have you had in it on the water? I like the bright cockpit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyorgosp Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 It's a V-bottom pram design. I've had up to three adults. Used to sail it in South Carolina lakes. When the wind failed we would row it, stopping at beaches for picnics and swims. Best sailing point is a beam reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyorgosp Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Trailer's been sold. Anyone interested in the boat? Looking for a good home before I give it away to a charity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you two hundred for the boat so long as the sail is decent and there is no rot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyorgosp Posted July 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Thanks Chris, I had forgotten how close you are. There is no rot and the sail is fine, if unconventional (batwing, sliding gunter). All rigging is in good shape but the mast needs a little epoxy work. I'd be thrilled to have a fellow enthusiast give this little boat a home! I'll send you a private message if I can. I'm away this weekend but plenty of time after that.
