GRAB A BARGAIN for Xmas!! NO RESERVE AUCTION!! Award winning design 19ft Savage Nautilus pocket cruiser WITH TRAILER tandem axle loadshareNOTE: this yacht is currently insured for $33,000 replacement value!! Please CASH or BANK Cheque At pickup Hi I am selling this for my retired uncle he'd like it gone B4 xmas. This is a one owner boat purchased brand new back in 1978 it has been sitting in his back yard doing nothing for a long time and he would like it sold. This is an ideal family boat. I have had the pleasure of using it with my family and can tell you it is perfect for cruising & overnighting see pics. (This hull design is so good that it is now being remade "on demand" as the Savage Dolphin)Because condition is very subjective (what I call good condition you may not) I highly recommend-almost insist that you come and inspect for yourself please message me to organise a suitable time On the whole she's good to go. It needs a cut & polish some TLC here & there, yes it has scratches/few chips wear & tear- as you would expect for a yacht of this age however you can use her straight away or do some work before you put her in the water (Definitely needs a new battery though). The fore stay & rear stays were replaced a few years ago. Boat is registered until Dec next year, trailer is registered until Mar next yearBoat: Nautilus Motor Sailer.

Inbuilt 6.6 litre fuel tank on flexible mounts. Cockpit controls.SAVAGE NAUTILUS MOTOR SAILERIf you are looking for a solid, secure boat that takes life easy itself, and makes life easy for you, then take another look at this one. And if comfort and safety are part of your scene, and more so if you want to leave worries and hassles behind when you go boating, then Savage had you in mind when they slid the Nautilus off the drawing board.And if that sounds a bit like a commercial for Savage, let me justify it. Take your average family of four, for example. Step aboard the Nautilus and see how you fit in. First, there is ample room in the deep cockpit, both to sit and also to retain kids who have a habit of falling overboard. The fibreglass moulded seats are dished for comfort and have drainage holes to prevent that scourge of sailing - a wet backside. Because the cockpit goes right back to the transom, six adults could fit, but four would be a good number both for comfort, and to prevent the self-draining holes bringing water inwards instead of taking it outwards.There are no winches, cleats or other problems in the cockpit; they are all relegated to the cabin top where both halyards and sheets terminate so that the boat can easily be rigged single-handed, without leaving the cockpit. The jib sheeting point is also on the cabin roof, which keeps the side decks clear.The mainsheet is out of the way on a track mounted on the transom leaving the tiller as the only intrusion into the cockpit. This is good thinking as nothing is worse in a cruising boat than having to duck and weave every time the boat goes about.The side and forward decks are also uncluttered and there is a good solid feel about them which is often not the case in boats of this size. Nothing feels more insecure than a 'twangy' deck, but the firm feel and excellent grip of the non-skid deck on this boat is a good feature. The anchor well is separate from the main cabin and recessed into the foredeck so that wet anchor ropes don't mess up the bunks, and a convenient, though small, hatchway at the forward end of the cabin gives access to the deck and - more importantly - the opportunity to open and ventilate the forward parts of the boat's interior.The rig is basic with forestays and backstays, upper and lower shrouds, all standard fitting, with a jib and a main - the latter fitted with slab reefing. Tension gear on the backstay is, to my thinking, superfluous since this boat will not be asked for high racing performance, but that is not an over-important point. She is easy to rig and, as mentioned, both sails can be hoisted from the cockpit.Although Nautilus will never represent Australia in the America's Cup, she, no doubt could sail through just about anything our coastal bays could throw at her. Her long keel almost guarantees steady downwave progress and her natural stiffness should keep her on her feet in strong winds. Her chubby motorboat-like hull is quite stiff and her bilges are firm. She should appeal to those who admire the true displacement hull as seen on many old-type fishing boats. Nautilus would double nicely as a fishing boat with accommodation.Inside the Nautilus, all is comfort. Headroom is modest, and the motor is fairly well pushed back under the cockpit. The layout is excellent with a big double berth forward and toilet under, two quarter berths, and a table on the starboard side opposite the full moulded galley (including sink, stove and moulded ice box) on the port side. The Yanmar diesel fitted to the boat can be, a bit noisy to anyone sitting in the cabin when under power, but Savage have done a good job with the engine cover which completely encloses the motor compartment and reduces the noise to bearable levels.Under power the Nautilus is delightfully easy to handle with good ahead and astern power and the prop gets a good bite on the water to give her tight manoeuvrability. Getting in and out of the marina is no problem, nor is running her up to her moorings. At full revs she does about six knots and economics of this type of motor need no emphasis in this time of escalating fuel costs. One could cruise for hours on a thimbleful of diesoline.Summing up, then, the Nautilus gets top marks as the ideal boat for family cruising where time is of no consequence, but comfort and leisure are the order of the day. This is a boat for anyone who wants to enjoy cruising harbours, rivers or lakes, for when there is no wind the motor gives her good speed, yet when there is a decent breeze, one can enjoy the delights of pleasurable sailing. Not a racing boat, but a first-class compromise which will appeal to families above all else. Comfortable, well designed, safe and manoeuvrable - what more could a cruising family want?(Below is an excerpt taken from Wikipedia where the Savage Nautilus gets a mention). In Australia, the best known and most popular pocket cruiser is the locally produced Savage Nautilus, a shoal draft yacht of 19 ft 4 in length overall with a 7 ft 10 in beam and a full length keel that draws only 2 ft 9 in. Fitted with an 8 (an unusual feature in a boat so small) and capable of sleeping four adults, they were produced in large numbers and have proved incredibly popular with Australian pocket cruising enthusiasts. Loosely based on a design, they are sufficiently stable and heavily constructed to sail offshore and some have made long distance blue water crossings, such as the notorious waters of , between mainland and the island state of (including the pictured example, "Bullwinkle", which was sailed from to )
