Description

MODEL: Sportina 730
LENGTH: 7.3m/24ft
YEAR OF MANUFACTURE: 2004


Raffles is a superb modern coastal or lake sailing yacht with a surprising amount of room below. Substantial enough to be used all year but with the added benefit of a twin axle trailer which means she can be taken out of the water for holidays and/or home for winter. We have enjoyed her for over 10 years but have recently purchased a bigger boat.

Kept in excellent condition and used regularly on Coniston. Key features are:—
Fractional rig with unique and easy mast raising system, using an unobtrusive deck-mounted cradle.
Comes complete with twin axle trailer. Boat weight is under 2500kg including trailer, so can be towed without needing a special vehicle or licence.
Modern interior with 2 twin berths (1 aft with large double under cockpit sole and 2 singles at the front).
Galley with Bainbridge 2 hob cooker and grill. Sink, large cold storage unit and Waeco fridge(25 litre)(AC/DC).
Separate heads with wash basin and removable porta potti toilet
Ballasted lifting keel which gives a minimum draft of 0.33 (13”). The boat can dry out in harbours and beaches which means she can go where many other boats cannot! When lowered, the keel extends to 1.5m
Equipped with mainsail, jib (only 5 years old) and asymetric spinnaker.
Available with 3D tender with air floor (new in 2024). Includes 2.3hp engine
Has both solar (110W) and shore power.
Full DSC VHF Standard Horizon radio. Meteoman electronic barometer. Auto tiller pilot.
42 litre water tank and water meter.
Boat engine (including spares) is a 10hp Honda which has been serviced regularly.
RCD category C

Price includes 2 year old tender and Honda 2.3 hp engine.

Boat to be sold with its current mooring on Coniston water (if required) - an ideal opportunity to see Bluebird in May!. She is currently ashore in Burscough, West Lancs
