The life of N997 Casilda. Design: Mark 1, designed by: Ian Proctor in 1951 |

The owner of 'Casilda', Peter Slann, started restoring this boat (and another 12 N728 'Sinful')but is no longer able to continue with the work so is offering her free to a good home. He writes: Both boats are in my boatshed where they have been for the last fifteen years and I collected them some years before that when living in Sussex but I have had little opportunity to work on either only starting work on N997 with remedial work on the transom and plank edges. Some new ribs are required in at the stern otherwise it is all straightforward, cleaning tidying up and refitting. She has a Proctor mast and wooden boom, steel plate, and fixed rudder. Sails and bouyancy all servicable but I cannot confirm the age. Fittings. are original with Tufnol blocks and wire rigging - just like it used to be! N728 is just the Hull and in very poor condition and perhaps unkind to move her from her resting place. To me she is just another challenge of skills fitting new garboards and much, much more in tlc. Designer and builder etc are as in the current association listings. Location: on the West cost of Argyll. Not the easiest place to access. No trailers or trolleys. My address details are in the Associate member section of the Handbook.

So you don't fancy another porject after finishing your double bottomed Uffa King then Tim? |

Haha - but thinking about putting a double bottom in a Tigress once the Uffa King is on the water. |

If anyone is interested in either N997 or N728 but is put off by the distance I would be prepared to go and retrieve them from Argyll and bring them south to a suitable mutually agreeable handover point. |
