31 ft Steel Sloop for sale

[SabreKai]

My 1959 Mason 30 is up for sale at the moment. I am planning on launching her at Toronto in 4 weeks time, so she will be in sailaway condition by the middle of May.

She was built in 1958-59 from corten steel, fairly heavy build. The hull is plated in 3/16 as is the deck. The transom was extended in 2005 by a foot to provide an overhang to protect the rudder and to allow addition of a rudder arm for wheel steering if desired. The fore deck was resheeted, and the toerails were raised to 6 inch high with stainless stanchion bases added. A half round rubbing strake was added about a foot below the deck level. After all this was done, she was sand blasted and epoxy coated.

The coach roof is of mahogany, and the mast and boom are of sitka spruce. The mast was given 9 coats of varnish and is in excellent shape. The boom will be revarnished this spring.

The engine is a Yanmar 3GM with about 200 hrs on her since rebuild. 20 gallon fuel tank, and a 15-20 gallon holding tank. There is no water system on board at the moment.

Electronics are very basic, being a VHF, sumlog and depth meter. Single battery but has a space for a second battery.

Sails are the main, and a furling genoa on schaeffer 1100 gear. Both are in good condition, having been checked over by the sail maker.

There are two anchors, a 25lb cqr and a british built bronze takedown hook which I don't know the name of.

I am asking $15,000 but am open to offers. Thats Canadian by the way so about $0.80 on the dollar or whatever the going rate is.

Contact me by email at nebelung@sympatico.ca or 905-847-8153 and leave a msg. Photos and copy of 2005 survey available by email.


Thanks
