Description
Designed by Rob Humphreys and completely professionally refurbished in 2018, "Bespoke" is a superb opportunity to buy a high quality pocket rocket race boat for not a lot of money. In terms of Smiles Per Buck and thoroughbred performance, you don't need to go any further. This boat will make you smile. The current owner is a professional boat builder. The number of hours, sweat and toil that have made her what she is today cannot be refected in the asking price, so great value is assured. She enjoys a competitive IRC Rating of approximately 0.985 (subject to renewal)."Bespoke" is one of four boats built to this design, and all have acquitted themselves well in their respective ownerships. Hull and DeckBuilt in 1996/97 out of Epoxy coated Cedar by reknownded boat builder, Neville Hutton, "bespoke" is beautifully crafted and very stiffIn 2018 both the hull and deck were completely stripped, including removal of all deck fittings. The hull and deck were filled, faired and epoxy painted.Painted in whisper grey with dark grey stripesDeck in Matterhorn white with whisper grey superstructureLewmar windows and portlights Moonlight hatchHarken 35 halyard winchesHarken 40 Jib winches Spinlock clutches and deck organisersHarken jib tracks and carsHarken blocksHarken mainsheet with windward car and fine tune Cascade backstayStainless steel stanchions and guard wiresCockpit bagsStainless steel tillerAdjustable foot restsJackstays and U-Bolts for lifejacket tether attachment RigSelden twin spreader rig, keel steppedSelden boomSelden rod kickerHarken Car mainsail luff systemDyneema halyardsCarbon pole by SeldenCode zero halyardSpin sheets and asym sheets Sails - with condition scoresMainsail - Sanders - 9/10 - less than 1500 hrs useJib 1.5 - Sanders - new in 2023 - 10/10Jib 2.5 - Sanders - new in 2023 - 10/10Jib No 4 - 9/10Code 0 + Facnor GX1500 furling drum - Sanders - 10/10A3 asymmetric spinnaker - Sanders - 9/10Masthead asymmetric spinnaker - Quantum - 7/10Masthead symmetric spinnaker - Quantum - 7/10Fractional symmetric spinnaker - Quantum - 7/10Storm Sails - 9/10Various older sails from multiple manufacturers.
