This really should be saved. I had a look at this a couple of years ago. Romaalis is Aust registered, says built 1938.

Cutter rig with oregon or spruce mast and boom. The boom is massive with some sort of roller reefing mechanism.

It's a big job to restore and it would only be worth half your money spent, but if restored, would be a special boat.
Very solid build. I didn't see a single cracked rib. No rot seen in the planking. There is some daylight showing between a couple of planks, shipwright maintained the gaps would be closed with a good soaking. Maybe a couple could be splined. Copper fastened with clenched over nails.
I would say the price is very negotiable, as the listed price is quite a bit different to what I remember.

Repairing the deckhead beams would be a pain but doable. Not much money is required but a lot of labour. With the products available today and good hand tools and power tools this is an easy project. Just keep shipwrights away from it. If it was my boat I would sand the topsides smooth, 3 coats of White Knights oil based paving paint [straight over the bare timber]. One 4 litre tin is $100 and will easily do three coats. Antifoul it and get it back in the water. Any open seams below the waterline fill with blackjack and garden lime to make a putty. Use black antifoul in case the putty bleeds through. Keep an eye on it for a few days.

I spent a few minutes looking at that and wondering where the 50 grand went!

Lionheart is on the market.

Seems very cheap for a NS33 and the owner knows it. Wonder what the catch is.? www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1698184997057180/?ref=facebook_story_share

There is on of those in my local area that the owner bought for $17,000. It was on the slips to get a full repaint but was a damn good buy.

I don't particularly like them myself but wow what a steal!

I'm going sailing for a week on one shortly. What don't you like about them?

Seriously good value Lexcen 36 foot fibreglass yacht!

Interestingly in the spec sheet it says 37 feet.

Interesting. Don't want to nitpick but imho it is a bit of a stretch to include Lexcen in the designer role as it was Colin Crisp's (and his wife's) work - see on the 11th and 12th pages of this; articles at the time mentioned that Lexcen was asked to comment on the design drawings and did so, giving them a comment to the effect "looks good" or similar.

Good value.

Good boat in broad terms. Reasonably comprehensive review here assume you have seen but missing some design data. The text is well compiled.

Another one here you've probably seen; both of these have runners.

Interesting comparison to a more recent design 43fter,

thankyou for your reply's

Hello Mike - the E24s are well known as a strongly built boat - see prior seabreeze thread here..........if I recall right one sailed across the Pacific or further but of course top shelf sailing and preparation is needed for that. Reg Gardner and Len Hedges the builders / designers knew what they were doing. Reg went to the UK with an early boat and did well in the JOG series over there.

Also if I recall a prior thread here the rudder was over balanced - so the rudder stock was too far aft of the leading edge of the rudder and didn't give a good feel especially sailing upwind. I had a Black Soo 30ft Van der Stadt with the same problem and angle grinded off the fibreglass and stainless steel straps fwd of the rudder stock to get the balance right and it was fine after that. But a bit of unexpected work.

The concern of lack of interior photos is easily rectified by you going to inspect the boat if you are a serious buyer.

How old is the standing rigging? Will you get comprehensive insurance?

The E26 was a lot better boat and many examples come up in this price range - albeit condition unknown and probably with an outboard.
