Classic wooden 15ft inboard Fairey Cinderella   Much admired at the recent London Boat Show, this rare classic boat is now for sale.    The Fairey Cinderella was originally conceived by Fairey Boats, now famous for the Swordsman, Spearfish and Huntsman range.  This inboard version was to have been known as the Carefree but we do not know of any others in existence.   Made of hot moulded Agba mahogany plywood, this rare 2 seat boat with its 18 coats of varnish has been rebuilt by me over the past 3 years and has had everything that is possible replaced with new.    This applies mainly to the engine which is a Ford 1600 GT crossflow engine that was completely professionally rebuilt with new crank and cam shaft, new carburettor, new pistons and rings, new starter, new electronic distributor, alternator, water pump and uprated oil pump.  The Borg Warner 1:1 gearbox has been rebuilt by a specialist and all its seals and components replaced.  The shaft and propeller are both new as is the cutlass bearing and shaft log which is of the new anti-drip type.    A new 11 gallon stainless steel petrol tank has been fitted under the newly upholstered seat.  The floor boards and covering have also been replaced, using Trakmark.  Beneath the floor are new automatic bilge pumps both fore and aft.   The boat sits on a very good and solid galvanised SBS trailer which has a new beam axle and suspension units, bearings, wheels and tyres.    All the fixings throughout the boat are stainless steel.  All navigation lights, switches and dials are new and the boat has been rewired.    There are two new covers: an overall cover for towing and a fitted tonneau cover.  The boat comes complete with a bow deck mast and an ensign and mast.    This boat needs to be seen to be appreciated and to understand just how much work has been done to create this outstanding example.  Contact me on 07952 475527 if you have any questions or wish to view.
