Good video thanks.

One of the sweetest 24 footers you'll ever find!!
Built to last by my dad, although sold before he launched her.
Great little weekender and coastal racer
Anyone who is a racer of an older vintage might remember 'Mozzie' and 'Crimper' that were gun JOG boats in their day and flush deck. Well this boat is the same hull with a cabin based around the Northshore 27!

Superb craftsmanship!

Absolutely a real credit to your dad rumble

Thanks guys!
Funny thing is he never got to sail on her till I tracked her down recently. I organized with the owners to take him out for his birthday and although we just motored around the bay as it was howling, the smile on his face was priceless. Also current owners learnt a lot, like 'all that blackwood came out of a 1850's house in Launceston, it was the mantle piece '

If you want to sell a yacht this is the sort of ad that will work!

And someone please buy this.

Location Cairns and unregistered trailer makes the Wildfire hard to sell.

Near enough to Bundy

1,350 km - 2,700 km return. You would have to be keen.

The Westerly 24 is a real nice piece! Lots of care and love. +1

I am fond of Adams's yachts and their modern version, the Radfords. The alum or steel construction makes sense for cruising especially in coral infested waters.
Radfords are pretty good boats, Don McIntyre's Radford 50 is the proof. (thanx for the utube flick!)

The Adams 13 'Antuka' is a clean and nice boat but for 90k is a bit dear. No matter how much was spent on it, it is still a 1981 boat, and dark inside. I like the heater thou, a must for Tasmania.

The other 13, 'Friday' is a whoooa! after what was spent on it, though, it's a bit sharp for 99k being a 1998 build and no cruiser.
Neither of them has the retractable tiller, both has a balanced rudder vulnerable to the max. when daggerboard is fully up!

For that sort of money one could have this 1993 alum Radford, almost twice,
yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/radford-10-6/218679

or this, 2011, made also of alum for 90k. Both of the Radfords got a draught of 1.9 meters which is not a cruiser friendly draught.
yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/radford-11m-performance-cruising-yacht/209510

The interior of the above mentioned Carter 37 and Jarkan 39 are my kind of modern interiors with a bit of timber for contrast but not the full timber layout, God forbid. Just thinking of the varnishing makes me scream in pain.
I remember my Adams's timber bits and l cringe. It might be beautiful but l don't like spending my time working while l should be sailing or relaxing.

Here is one for consideration for much less dough, however, one's gotta spend on it at least 20-25k to make it viable:

You weren't the crew member who fell off one day and swam to the start boat?

PhilY, no it was either Gordon, (+ RIP) or another guy Jim, well before that because it happened twice. I was not present, thou.

However, I was sitting next to my son when the mast broke at Pittwater. Hence the brand new mast and rig in 2016.

Cisco, what you got against Beatrice?

This one, a real shoal draught 13 - GRP not alum - with 'proper' sliding tiller not just daggerboard is the real cruiser amongst them all.
(I really don't understand the idea on the other two 13s, the daggerboard does not mix well with a balanced rudder which is hanging down well below the level of the keel-stump catching lines and coral and sundry and no way one could do with those boats what is done on the picture)

It was winning races and championships when l was crewing on it. A real easy boat to live with, narrow hull as Two Dogs pointed it out but not as small as it would be cramped for cruising. Well, it's not a Mottle ! but not small either. Unless one intended to carry a whole tribe, plenty for two+two, thou.

I love this boat, it sailed really well in all conditions.

Actually it's 7, 5 tons. A cold chisel and a big hammer would take care of that monstrocity, well spotted!

You would love this blast from the past though, l am sure: A BABA 30

New Zealand money so it's not real money!
