| Historic Moment: St Brendan arriving at Annapolis |
|
|
Editor's note: St Brendan, Albin Vega # 1147, sailed by Matt Rutherford, is the first vessel to complete a non-stop solo circumnavigation of the Americas under sail. The route took Matt from the Chesapeake, through the Northwest Passage and South, West to East, around Cape Horn. CLICK for more information about this historic voyage

Matt Rutherford writes:
It breaks my heart to put this boat up for sale. We have been through so many hard times together and also so many good times. St Brendan always kept sailing regardless of the giant waves of the Bering Sea and Cape Horn, the fog and ice of the Northwest Passage, the freighters that nearly ran us down at night. St Brendan sailed for 309 days straight and covered 27,077 miles yet still has a lot of life left in her. I don’t want to sell the boat but since my return I have started a non-profit called Ocean Research Project and have just completed an 80 day 6,800 miles survey of the North Atlantic. We were dragging special nets that can determine the amount of micro plastic in the water (http://www.capitalgazette.com/news/annapolis/successful-science-too-much-adventure-mark-maiden-research-voyage/article_5da26a84-0dcc-5cc4-b8b9-8b8bca28e15f.html)
I’ve put every dollar I have into the non-profit and no longer can afford to keep St Brendan.
On one hand St Brendan has been through hell and back and needs some TLC on the other hand St Brendan is a piece of history. She is the first boat ever to have sailed around North and South America non-stop singlehanded. The documentary about this trip will be out in a few months and the book will follow few months after. (Trailer for documentary http://vimeo.com/47936167) St Brendan’s value will only increase over time. The sails and rigging are in surprising good shape. She was repowered with a Volvo Penta 2002 that runs fine (I fixed the starter when I got back). Her hull number is 1147 She is located in Annapolis MD
If I could I would keep this boat forever but I am flat broke. St Brendan deserves a good home and she deserves to keep sailing.

Argonaut was my first sailboat and has taught me a lot while sailing the Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California. I am the third owner and have had her for 4 years. But the time has come to get a bit larger boat. The boat is quite original as far as the inside. She is in great condition minus some gel coat crazing, but that has never affected her great sailing ability.

Silentium Was the classic “Barn Find”. The original owner Vernier and his wife Pearl sailed Silentium on Lake Ontario from 1974 through 1982. The boat was sailed mostly weekends from Late May until October, and hauled out and stored each winter. In 1983 the Vernier retired and he and Pearl trailered Silentium to Victoria, British Columbia with dreams of sailing the fabled Pacific North West.
Tragedy struck , and Vernier became ill and Silentium was never launched. The boat was put into Storage yard on Vanalman Rd, in Saanich and it sat for 28 years until I purchased the boat from Pearl in 2011.
The boat was in amazing condition. The old keyhole style orange canvas life jackets looked brand new with no sign of mildew. The boat was dry and sound. Pearl had even paid the yard manager to give the propeller a turn or two once a month to keep the engine from seizing.
Of course it had the typical problems of the Vegas. The old haul liner was falling off, the wood work dried out, and the old gate valves needing replacement. So I brought the boat home, put Silentium into the back yard, stripped her down and stent the next two years rebuilding her.
That included:
Through Hulls and Sea Cocks 2011
Run rigging 2012
Window Seals 2012
Engine Hoses 2013
Water hoses 201
Top side Paint 2012
Bottom Paint 2015 Morron CSC
Exterior woodwork new 2012
Interior Woodwork varnished 2012
Wiring Updated 2011
Raw Water Pump 2011
Cabin Cushions 2012

This boat is in cruise away condition and is just waiting for the right owner to take on many excellent adventures in safety and comfort.

| Bainbridge Island Vega #712 |
Comes equipped with 8 sails including jibs and a spinnaker (whisker pole too!), hydraulic autopilot, local charts, custom dinette/chart table, solar panel, and a BRAND NEW C-Head composting toilet.
All cushions and wood are in good shape and I have yet to discover any leaks. The original diesel has been long removed and thus she comes with a 8 hp Yamaha outboard that purrs like kitten. I recently had the hull cleaned less than 1 month ago.
She'll probably need a coat of paint in the next year but otherwise ready to sail.
I have been living on board for the last month while moored in Winslow Wharf Marina (possible slip transfer) -- So I can account for all working electrical...
I am a motivated seller so please contact me either by replying to this post or call the number below.

I purchased Albin Vega #3175 this summer. I never got to sail it.
I was trailering it down to South Florida before Thanksgiving. A tire blew, the boat flipped on it’s side and was damaged on the starboard side.
See pictures attached.
The boat is fixable but I do not have the skills and the cost of hiring professionals makes this a do-it-yourself project.
It was in decent shape before the accident. It does not have an engine. The trailer is shot.
The boat is at a yard near Beaufort SC. It should be a good project for anyone with the necessary skills and a way to move it.
Any reasonable offer will be accepted and any unreasonable offers will be seriously considered.

| V1331 Walkabout (Ex Sin Tascha) |
Walkabout
(formerly Peter Jacobs' SIN TACHA) is for sale.
We bought WALKABOUT from Peter in March, 2013 and have planned and equipped her for extensive sailing adventures. We recently completed a three month+ cruise to the northern end of Vancouver Island and through the San Juans, Gulf Islands, and the rugged, breathtaking Broughtons.
Sadly, age-related health problems for both captain and mate have convinced us to make the painful decision allow someone else to enjoy our lovely little ship.
CONTACT: John Matthews: oldnewfie1@me.com
Asking $18000. We bought Walkabout last year for $16000 and have upgraded her far beyond any expectation of recovering all the costs (see Recent Upgrades)

Member Paul Hermanson writes:
I have owned the boat for ten years. A previous owner had outfitted the boat
for cruising. A standard joke when I take friends sailing is that something
will need repair and I will rummage around in a lazarette or a locker below and
appear with a replacement part. When asked where I got it the answer is
invariably "It came with the boat!"
Sale of the boat will include
everything that comes on the boat. It is a garage full of equipment. In fact
my advice is to do what I did. Empty the boat and then re-stow and label the
location of every imaginable piece of equipment or replacement part. I truly
believe you could literally provision with food and water and embark on a
cruise!
I'm mellowing with age and like time share vacations! I can get
my sailing fix by chartering anywhere in the world!

2 years ago I was out solo in weather between Anacapa and
Santa Cruz. My mainsail blew out and a following sea backed up the engine
exhaust. Caught with only a headsail and being blown down the coast I maydayed
and the Coast Guard towed me in.
(Rather nice to find that after the
automatic inspection by the Coast Guard my only violation was outdated fire
extinguishers and
and emergency flares). Additional addendum: despite my
foolishness "Julie" to care of me. She never felt unseaworthy. I called mayday
as I didn't relish being blown down the coast all night with only my
headsail.
