Ah - I hadn't considered using that space - my chart table cupboards are full of stuff I need for ready access. I guess it's a good spot though.

Hi everyone I've bought a yacht that was sold to the previous owner as a Jarkan 10.5 built in 1994 but it is only 10m long, i belive it might be a Jarkan 10 europa but cant seem to find any onfo, its name is Flossy but was formally Floss Hilde, just wondering if anyone knows anything about this yacht, thanks

can you post some pictures?

Well, it isn't a Jarkan 10.5 Centre cockpit, that's for sure. I think it is a Europa 10. It should sail well.

Looking good. Love the name!
Enjoy your new boat.

Chowringhee was for sale in 2018

Hey mate. Do you by chance happen to have a photo of Chowringhees transom? Looking at getting the lettering redone but its pretty faded. Having dramas working out the finer details of the font

Hi Everyone,
I have only recently found this forum and it has been very interesting reading about the Jarkan 10.5's.
My partner and I have just purchased La Vida, a Jarkan 10.5 from 1982.

With Covid travel restrictions we haven't actually seen her in the flesh as yet, however we will get to meet her personally in early November.
The surveyor's report was really good, obviously a bit of work to do, but overall we were happy enough to purchase sight unseen.
She will eventually live on the Camden Haven river at Dunbogan, but will remain in Pittwater for a little longer yet.

Needless to say, we cant wait to get down there and see her.

If anyone has any information about her (history, build number etc.) we would love to hear from you. Her sail number is 5542.

Thanks in advance and Cheers
Peter and Michelle.

Hi Ramona,
Thanks for your response. I have purchased the yacht from John however it is my understanding that he has (only) owned her for approx 20 years. There must be some history that someone knows of for the period 1982 - 2002.

Cheers

mmm, thanks r13 for your insightful input.

I'm still interested in any info about La Vida anyone may have pre John's ownership (which commenced in 2002).

Thanks in advance

quick question. does the jarkan hull have any timber in in it? i was reading about the raymarine transducers (depth and speed) which you just glass into the bottom and they work through the hull (no holes required) but they apparently don't work if there is anything other than fibreglass.

thanks

The Jarkan 35 is just a solid laminate.

I siliconed a transducer to the inside of the hull off centre in rear cabin and it worked fine

Hi All, We are proud owners number three of Bolero, Jarkan 10.5. 1984. The previous owners had her for 34 years and were amazing. She is like new. We have modernised her a little, put new solar panels, lithium batteries, auto pilot, electronics and unfortunately had to replace original fridge (the old one was legendary). We have a boom tent when anchored but looking into options for shade / shelter whilst sailing that extends beyond Boleros excellent solid dog house. The space in the centre cockpit is small but the limits to our creativity lay in the main sheet, traveler position and height of the boom. We have been googling images but haven't seen any solutions online. She currently has no davits but might look into them if they could compliment a shadey solution and provide an increased opportunity for more solar panels.

Any ideas shared would be greatly appreciated. cheers
