The WORST BOAT ADVERTISEMENT EVER.

He's a broker, gets em in and gets em out fast. If he gets no bites might go no reserve on ebay so might be cheaper still. He still gets a small cut/ you get a bigger slice of cash to throw at an old boat and everyone's happy for the most part.

I'd personally stay clear of this though due to the amount of potential ongoing and soul destroying rust accumulation. (Think pushing a snowball up a hill) I had one that is now apparently a permanent fixture to Greenwell point's sand bar!

It was the stained bedsheets that sold me.

Wow she's not moving anytime soon, Dave put a curse or two on her I hear,

I was solo diving about 50 metres from that spot, searching a sunken buoy totally disoriented and confused could hardly see me hands in front of me was so murky and sharky . never again!

Bluebird classic. Not cheap but in top condition. Saw one in a twilight race early 80s on the main Sydney Harbour course in a stiff noreaster Rushcutters Bay to Nielsen Park and back beat a very well sailed Farr 727 of the day "Corfu". It might have been the exact same yacht. A timeless design imho and still sails as fast and well as similar sized yachts except for sports boats obviously.

1953 was a good Year !

Very good year I reckon.

Cripes a lot different boat to the shoal draft wing keeled Catalina 27 which has the hull design circa 1970. There was a standard keel, deeper keel, shoal draft winged keel and two different rig sizes. Build quality as mentioned in many reviews on line is probably not as good as the NS30.
The NS30 is the Peterson Santana 30 1/2 ton circa 1975 IOR design, with step added to transom - see here; but I see your boat has the original transom with a ladder - so still easy to board. If it is called "Santana" as evidenced maybe it is a Santana 30.............but the condition looks like a 1990 build so could be NS built before they changed the transom to include the step. Check with the dealer whoever that is - normally dealers will advise their name.

The NS30 is a far better boat and I would simply go and buy it pronto, forget the C27. Good diesel (Kubota based) and seems well kept. 4 sails. How old is standing rigging? Expect need to survey it for comprehensive insurance.

You've probably seen this link - seems like around 1978 design not 1975.

Thanks! Hard to tell from the photos but might be a bit rough?

I didn't manage to get out this weekend but will do soon. Will try to look at this other NS30 at the same time:

Ok hope it goes well. Sure it could be a bit rough - as reflected in the price. That one at $35k has the transom "sugar scoop" step which makes boarding from a dinghy a lot easier. Looks in very good nick as expected for 96 build.

Excellent small cruiser. Needs some Metal Gleam on the hull and deck and some White knights paving paint on the interior. Lead keel.
