Boat Plans Butler | Seafarer Day Sailer Trailer Sailer – Part 3

Boat Plans Butler

Seamonster being hosed down

Further to Part 2 in the links section below, I would like to add that my hopes for the welfare of the Seafarer ‘Seamonster’ are being fulfilled. Today she was thoroughly cleaned, tidied and wrapped under cover for the winter. Her woodwork is to be varnished next spring. I have been informed that the owner loves her, and he will not allow (quote) ‘her to end up as scrap’.

All of this is very pleasing. She’s a classic boat, well worth preserving. She could live on for many years and be a joy to those who sail her.

Plywood Boat Plans | Seafarer Day Sailer Trailer Sailer – Part 2

Plywood Boat Plans

Just under a year ago I drew attention to 48 year old ‘Seamonster’, an Alan Buchanan day sailer. She is an 18’ Seafarersingle chine GRP masthead sloop.

Last weekend I was away from home, and I had a chance of getting personal with the little boat. By getting personal, I mean being close enough to touch and caress her. I was somewhat saddened to see that she wasn’t being looked after as she deserved. A boat built in 1967, if she is to remain in good trim when laid up, must be kept under cover, which at the moment she is not. Worse still, she is close to a hedge, and fallen leaves in her cockpit are doing her no favours.

Structurally she is sound, and the external gelcoat has never been painted, apart from antifouling below the waterline. Her keel pivot bolt was renewed last year, and all her woodwork is good, but varnish has peeled off in places.

I am hoping she will be cared for by her owner, as she is a ‘living’ classic, worthy of not being left on the scrap heap to die.
