Read moreabout the condition Year: 1972 Type: Cruiser/Racer Beam (feet): 7 Make: Achilles Hull Material: GRP Model: Achilles 24 Rigging: Masthead Keel: Triple Length (feet): 24
The Achilles 24 was designed in 1968 by Oliver Lee, and between then and 1985 about 600 were built by Butler Mouldings of Gowerton, near Swansea in Wales. These popular cruising yachts are derived from a racing keelboat, and with a better than 50% ballast ratio, performance is good. They are popular club racers, and in their early days achieved a remarkable record in long-distance sailing, including one being the smallest boat to complete the 1976 OSTAR singlehanded transatlantic race, fitted out from a kit in preparation for the race and sailed by Rodney Kendall. This particular boat carried on to New Zealand! Listed SA: 210 ft2 / 19.51 m2
Draft (max.) 3.3'
Displacement: 2600 lbs./ 1179 kgs. Ballast: 1314 lbs. / 596 kgs.
Sail Area/Disp.1: 17.81 Disp./Len.: 156.54
Designer: Oliver Lee /Chris Butler
Builder: Butler Moldings Ltd. (UK)
Construction: FG Bal. type:
First Built: 1968 # Built: 600Artemis is moored at Fambridge Yacht Haven and paid up until April 2017. This mooring will be passed onto the new owner until April, which means that you will incur no mooring fees until April 2017, but then you will be billed for another year or you can choose to sail her away to another mooring. She is currently on a pontoon and has everything needed to enjoy some winter sailing on the River Crouch. Inventory: • Inmast furling for Crusader main (Facnor) allows everything to be controlled safely from the cockpit. Great for single handed sailing.
• Roller furling headsail (fair condition)
• Great condition Spinnaker and Spinnaker pole
• Spare sails.
• Spray hood
• 6hp Sailpower, Tohatsu 6hp OB that was serviced in 2015 and starts easily
• Anchor, chain and warp
• 8 fenders
• Spare ropes
• Good quality lifejackets (4)
• Standard Horizon fixed set DSC radio
• NASA log and echo sounder
• Solar panel for charging the domestic battery (battery new in May 2016)
• Navigation lights
• Life buoy
• Boarding ladder (off transom)
• HUGE cockpit lockers
• Large stowage lockers in cabin and forepeak
• Brand new Portapotty
• Loads of stuff to be left on board such as spares and repairs kit, tool kit, cushions, boat crockery and cutlery, pans, stove
There are three areas of damage that need repair, but nothing that prevents her from sailing now. There is some damage to the gel coat on the starboard bow, it will need a fill and fair, and I have the paint to match once the repair is done. The Portside fairlead is missing and the cabin starboard shelf front is missing as it was removed to make a repair to the shroud backing plate. I have the wood cut to size ready to finish the job. She may require a little scrub but there would be a fee for a lift and scrub from the Yacht Haven.Please get in touch if you have any questions, or would like to view. This item is advertised elsewhere and I reserve the right to end the listing at any time.99p start and no reserve! Good luck and happy bidding!
