Selling my Top Hat 25. Original series with diagonal planked, laminated mahogany timber. 18 months ago I stripped the mast and recoated it with white Norglass two pack, replaced all the lights and re-rigged her with 6mm, 316 stainless 1/19 wire and new internal internal haliards. It comes with many sails, storm and genoas and I think 2 mains. All new sheeting as well. Unfortunately the previous owner removed the Starboard quarter berth bunk and settee. Easy job for a handyman. It is fitted with a 7 hp Vire petrol engine which was fitted new 8 years ago. Sadly a leaking seacock allowed water into the yacht and the magneto and starter are ruined. I was going to remove the engine and fit an outboard motor or better still an inboard electric motor. I have just finished a THREE year project on a 50 foot houseboat and I am now 74 years old and the thought of beginning another job makes me feel ill beyond belief. I would rather Ariel goes to a young person who will look after her. She could easily be sailed anywhere. There is NO reserve, highest bidder gets a lift out to where she is lying on a mooring in Secret Bay in Lake Macquarie. NearRathmines.
