This is currently being advertised on eBay, with no reserve (!)



The description is:
Prout shearwater catamaran project - in need of extensive restoration.
Good bits
The hulls are sound, it has the main sail, keels, rudders.
Bad bits....
The marine ply has rotted and will all need to be replaced and it would benefit from a paint job.

I especially like the part about the hulls being sound apart from the marine ply bits when they are marine ply hulls!

I did think that some of them had grp hulls with ply decks but I could be wrong. Is a cheap way of getting some sails and spars etc.

The listing is here. Not convinced there's a mast or boom. The crossbeams all look badly coroded and dented.

"It would benefit from a paint job" has to be the understatement of the century!

Nor me!

Though the Europa Moth on the cvrda for sale page currently is more of a challenge to resist...
