Hershoff Cheoy Lee 31 offshore Ketch
Hey guys and gals.
I have a boat that needs saving. Friend of mine owns it and is done with it.
Has spent $30000+ on new motor (literally less than 10 hours), standing rigging etc. etc.
Boat needs lots of varnish, deck work, Has very nice wood spars. This boat is not pristine, but it is not a lost cause either.
Needs a special owner that loves fiberglass and wood....and isn't afraid of varnish....because you will be an expert when you are done.
Owner will let it go for very little to the right person (ie not going to part it and crush it).

She looks like a transom sterned H28. Nice.
Years ago, the gentleman who started the Turkey shoot regatta came down to my boat to try to get me involved. I can't recall his name. He was cruising around looking for classic boats for his race. Unfortunately, the race was held over the Thanksgiving weekend and, given the choice of racing or staying married, I chose the latter. I remember he was sensatized to epoxy & , when he redid his deck, he cut and dry-fit the parts and his wife glued it all together. What a wife...

Thanks very much for all the good pictures, Ric.
What a coincidence that she's next to the aluminum Saugeen Witch I have been admiring (remotely) for months.
Small world, two very nice boats side by side.

Hi Keelbolts,
My project is the later (1967) fiberglass variant. It is basically a folkboat with a raised doghouse. Lots of teak inside and out. Its the classic story, saw the boat neglected in a boatyard, fell in love with it, had Tim survey it and refused to take his advise. I have lots of photos of the ongoing restoration if you are interested and will attempt tp past my first sticky photo of her comming west from Maine.

Saugeen Witch is a very attractive metal boat and seems to be in pretty great shape.
Nice looking boat...especially when it is all just flat sheet twisted up and welded together...

Falcon,
A FG Folkboat w/ a doghouse...[sigh]. My first boat was a 1955 Danish lapstrake Folkboat in larch. A great boat, but w/ very limited head room. That was way before I developed my appreciation for doghouses. Assuming it has the same rig and ballast ratio as the original or even International Folkboat, there is practically nowhere you could not go in that little boat. My mainsail fit in a luff groove in the mast that would whistle like hell when the sail was stowed and the wind was right.
Please do put up more photos. I'd love to see them.
Are the cabin sides FG wrapped in wood or just wood?

as far as I can tell the cabin sides are wood. Not 100% sure.

Hi Keel bolts,
My Flyer has a solid fiberglass cabin with a 1/4" layer of teak on the outside and a plywood/teak venneer layer on the inside. The outside was very weathered and several small checks had developed, but I think that I have been able to stabilize that with multiple coats of Epifanis varnish.
[img=http://img2.freeimagehosting.net/upload ... ab69a0.jpg]
The inside of the cabin was destryed by water leaking in from the ports and I removed the wood down to the underlying fiberglass. I have since made new pannells from plywood and teak veneer. I havent bonded the pannels to the cabin sides yet... I was thinking of using something like liquid nails...or do you think that West System epoxy would be better?
Regards,
Pete

My friend Jacks Cheoy Lee 31.
He's owned it for more than 20 years and sails the heck out of it. It's built like a tank, I helped him design a dinette conversion onboard.
Here's Sunrise rafted up to us up Perrys Creek off Vinalhaven Island Maine.

Oh boy, Hereshoff, Alden, Vinalhaven - that's a heady mixture. Beautiful pair of boats!Tom Young wrote:Here's Sunrise rafted up to us up Perrys Creek off Vinalhaven Island Maine.

I met the new owner of the boat that started this thread.
He will be a great caretaker of her and once she has her spars back on she will be going to Virginia Beach.
She looks so much better floating than stuck on the hard!!!
