Compass 28 Sailing Boat Yacht

Hello.I am listing my fathers boat 'Kestrel' . She is a Compass 28 which he bought back around August 2014. Unfortunately he had plans for his retirement when he bought her that haven't worked out. She is mored at East Coast Marina , Manly Harbour Brisbane. She has been out in Moreton Bay three times since he got her.

When he purchased Kestrel he had a condition report for insurance purposes and she was found to be structurally good and in average overall condition. After the report was done (as she was out of the water for the inspection) she had the following done professionally - any and all osmosis present in the hull was cut out and repaired, the hull was cut and polished, repainted where required, and anti-fouled (this is in August/september 2014). The prop was cleaned and polished, and the shaft seals and bearings were replaced. At the time it was a bit over 5K of work. She in powered by a Yanmar SE8.

The first day he took her out, I was with him, the engine got her out of the Marina and then cut out. Turned out the head was clagged up with calcium deposits that blocked the water inlet to the head. The head was removed by a mechanic and taken away for a clean and skim. A new set of gaskets were made, new water pump impeller, new water inlet piping, and a better quality water filter for the inlet hose was fitted. On closer examination the exhaust system appeared to have been cobbled together so I had that all replaced with the correct specification new parts as well.

(this was professionally done in 2015). So the engine beats strong and all pipes and exhaust fitting are as the should have been originally. Going from the paperwork/condition report I have, Kestrel also features the following: Keel hung tillerShe is fibreglass with teak trim. A 120 litre tank for cockpit shower in keel and 50 ltr bl under the Vberth that feeds the sink and can be transfered to the keel tank.
