    My father is now too old to sail his boat and it is just too big for me to handle single handed. If I had the time and energy it would possibly make the basis of a great pocket junk rigged schooner, due to the reinforcement around the Sampson post. Which is in a good position for the forward mast. The boat is a 22.5ft Islander 23, also known as a an Imperial 23, both are on sailboat data .com, where you can see the Sampson post in side view. All specs for the boat inc sail area are there. She is a substantial late 60s grp bilge keeler, built when plastic was cheap and hand laid thickly. Not much to get her going as a Bermudan in her current form, in which she sailed surprisingly well. However she will need a new 5or6hp outboard. All fittings including prop and stern gear are in place to fit an inboard. Not standing headroom , but a separate heads.


    she is ashore Hayling Island next to a reasonably priced boatyard. Not even unreasonable offers refused, or might px for smaller craft, junk rig preferred.
