Jarkan 10.5

SV Travelling Jack is a 1981 Jarkan 10.5 in very good condition. The standing rigging including chain-plates was repaced in 2021. All the electrics in the mast were redone, instruments are windspeed and direction, depth sounder, and coursemaster autop-pilot with a hydarulic arm on the steering gear. The egine is a Nanni with 2800 on the clock, she as been regularly services and maintained according to the schedule in the manual. It has great access from all sides, the kitchen on one side, the bathroom on the other, and the rear can be accessed through the pantry/storage room behind the kitchen.

The boat is amazingly roomy insde for it's length with 6' 2" inches headroom throught the galley and saloon. There is a standing nav-table, two burner gas-stove and oven. There is a table that comfortably sits four across from a long sofa/berth. The walkthrough from the nav-table to the aft cabin closes off the becomes a shower/head cubicle with electric macerator and holding tank. Hot water is available once the egnine has been running for a while although I've never turned it on.

Electrical wiring was redone in 23/24, with two AGM 175AH batteries installed There are 3 80 watt panels on a ss frame with davits for the tender. There is a shore-power connection in the cockpit (and cable) with 4 double 240v sockets in the saloon kitchen, nav-table and storage room. There is an 240 charger hooked up to the batteries which can be turned on when connected to shore-power.

There is a cavernous utectic fridge, which we havent been using as we do shorter trips, which don't give the eutectic fridge time to cool down from the engine. It works fine when the engine is run for a few hours, having been serviced in 2023, with regrigerent topped us and a leak in a refrigerent pipe fixed. We run a medium size camping fridge off the house batteries (see pics), and for week long trips the battery has managed it, and the boats systems fine. Happy to include the fridge in the sale.

Anitfoul was done last month, with old coat sanded back and two coats of Jotun antifoul, as well as prop-speed on the 3-blade folding prop.

The tender is an Island Inflatable 2.9 almost new, with a mercury 6hp outboared, 5 months old, having had its first service at 3 months. (Loads of warranty left) Attached to davits on a stainless steel frame, which also holds the lifering and gas bottle. Epirb and Flares are up to date, there are plenty of lifejackets on board (about 6 or 7 i think)

I only bought this boat 18 months ago, and I love it. For our family it allows us to spread out between the deck, saloon, cockpit and aft-cabin, and has been an amazing floating sanctuary in the schoold holidays. The only reason I am selling this boat, is because I have finally gotten my partner across the line for us to go and cruise with the kids for a year or two as liveaboards, homeschooling. We've brainstormed all the ways we could do it with this boat, and she's just too small for the four of us for a longer trip. We would consider a partial trade with someone wanthing to downsize from a 40-45 foot monohull fit for purpose.

There is a survey from 2023 available ( https://drive. Google. Com/file/d/1u-10oDP8M9TMHrD7S39L2VcnZO uPjkmU/view?usp=sharing ), the issues noted in the report have been dealt with by the last owner (pipes from fresh-water system, old wiring). Everything else was found to be in good working order.

The front-hatch could do with new glass and seals. It's solid but crazed, and there is a small leak that I have fixed and is holding up, but the hatch will need a new seal at some point in the future. This is a really solid boat, with no big-ticket items to be dealt with in the near future. She is spacious and classy.

It's great value at this price / priced to sell.
