Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this Sole Bay 35 Ketch Designed by Jack Francis Jones as a comfortable motor sailer with acceptable sailing ability, able to get herself off a lee shore under sail if required. Built by Porter and Haylett of Wroxham in 1968. With a well documented history of careful and diligent owners, she was purchased by the current owner about 3 years ago and taken to Harbour Marine Services at Southwold for a cosmetic refit which included and complete external re-paint top to bottom, repairs to the hull planking where necessary and all new upholstery. The Sole Bay 35 is a perfect cruising boat for northern climates with good performance under engine and acceptable help derived from the sails to ensure you are not totally reliant on diesel. The wheelhouse is a huge bonus, giving a dry warm space on deck allowing passage making even when the weather is poor. Length on Deck 35’Beam 10’Draft 4’9”Displacement 10.5 tons Construction Carvel planked in iroko all copper fastened to steam bent oak timbers. Hull sheathed in Cascover from new below the waterline. External iron ballast keel of 2.3 tons fastened with galvanised bolts. Sawn timber floors across the centreline with galvanised throat bolts. Some galvanised strap floors in the aft end where the bilge space is tight. Marine plywood decks sheathed in Cascover and finished in cream deck paint. High toe rail all round with an oiled capping, supported on galvanised brackets and the stanchion bases. Mahogany coachroof coamings, finished with gloss white paint with a varnished iroko nosing. Marine plywood wheelhouse roof and coachroof decks sheathed in Cascover. Bronze framed port lights in the fore and aft coachroof with aluminium framed windows in the wheelhouse. Rig Bermudan ketch rig on deck stepped varnished wooden masts. Gaff rigged main and Bermudan rigged mizzen. The mainmast is stepped in a tabernacle on the foredeck so can be raised and lowered easily. This is very handy. Still available at ListedBuy!
