*UPDATED 27 OCT 2025
*** 'ELUSIVE' IS OUT OF THE WATER ***
My sincere apologies to all of you who've messaged me regarding the sale of 'Elusive' - I've had to return to the UK a couple of times this year, leaving many of you unanswered, thank you to those who I've conversed with, and those who messaged me for nostalgic reasons, letting me know that you'd been part of the crew racing aboard her:
Sometime this week, I WILL reply to every message that I'd previously received, checking if you still have interest -
- ELUSIVE IS CURRENTLY OUT OF THE WATER, on hard standing, about to be cleaned/painted/antifouled.
- ELUSIVE IS IN SYDNEY,
- PHOTOS OF INTERNAL AREAS, WILL BE ADDED THIS WEEK
- ELUSIVE MAY BE VIEWED, THIS WEEKEND, *BY APPOINTMENT ONLY*,
FROM 4pm FRIDAY 31st OCT & all weekend SAT 1st & SUN 2nd NOV 2025,7am - 7pm
SAIL AWAY? OR STAY?
Should I stay or should I go?
If I receive an acceptable offer before Thursday 6th November 2025, and (subject to deposit, plus any additional marina day fees if you stay) you would have the option to choose to potentially keep her out of the water, where she is, on hard standing, for an additional month or 2, should you decide to do any additional work on the boat, or to prepare her for your big circumnavigation? Or simply sail her away after she gets slipped back in, which is currently scheduled for Thursday 6th November 2025
-This boat is Structurally 100% solid.
- FULL SET OF SAILS - Listed below, all are in excellent condition and all are stored in the front V cabin bow locker and under the large double bed area.
*Nav, radio, auto-helm & other systems/electronics that have been previously been installed, are still in situ, but current serviceability is unknown.
Elusive could be raced up the coast, or cruised around the world for a long holiday tomorrow.
300a/h new batteries on 2x solar panels
No dinghy - but there's a working 45lb electric outboard & 2 x working 12v batteries.
This is a rare opportunity to own one of only a handful of these boats, the build quality, and 'bones' of this boat, are second to none.
If you are genuinely interested, *please contact me INITIALLY VIA EMAIL OR SMS*, I will call you back to discuss further & to arrange vewing, if desired.
