Ballerina ll Sloop for sale, 6.48m (22'0"), 1976, Bilge keel, 4 berthsVery capable small (but perfectly formed) cruiser, easily trailered and ideal for East coast rivers and Thames estuary. A similar boat was sailed by Tristan Jones in South America, as recorded in "The Incredible Voyage" (of which a hard cover copy is included in the sale). I have had her for two years, made many improvements and upgrades and I am now ready to move on.
The boat comes with an almost new outboard, almost new VHF radio, almost new chart-plotter  and a lovely Zodiak dinghy are worth more than the reserve price.

The boat is currently out of the water in a secure yard at a yacht club on the river Medway, and could go back onto the club mooring trot (if you join, fees are very low). She can be loaded quite easily onto a truck or a trailer if you want to take her away.
I apologise for not having photos of all equipment and I will do my best to get some more - as you can see some photos are old and show the boat pre 2015, currently there are no curtains on the boat but I still have them if needed. Please ask any questions before bidding. I would be very happy to meet and show you the boat (contact me to arrange).
The boat is advertised elsewhere so I reserve the right to withdraw before the end of bidding. Please contact me with any questions and to arrange a viewing as soon as possible.
