This boat has been raced regularly and has been competitive in the National Championships, taking out the Handicap win (5th on Scratch) in 2008, amongst a fleet of about 25 boats. It has arguably been shown to be the fastest Mk III around.

Whilst it has not been cruising for some time, it was set up for cruising by its original owner (Geoff Ferguson) and still has all the necessary (water tanks, sink, stove, in-built ice compartment, fully enclosed boom tent, etc). It just needs laying out to suit your personal preference.

Is there something in the water?

I was looking forward at having another crack at Druthers at next years Nationals!

I hope the new people buying these boats are gunna race?

Whats happening in NSW there is a huge turn over of boats?

It has been pointed out that I haven't included the selling price. This was either a specific sales technique to whet your appetite, or the early onset of dementia; take your pick.

I have advertised the boat in the Manly Daily for $17,500 ONO.

I know some may think this is top price, but what do you expect for one of the latest C18s, with boom tent, electric winch etc. How many other boats come with matching doonas and bed linen!!

If any CCYA member is interested and understands what they are buying I am very happy to negotiate, but I don't think it is a bad price for one of the latest boats all set up with accesories, and ready to cruise or race.

Happy to discuss.

Here are some more pictures smaller size this time

Do you know the weight of the boat and trailer ? I was told that the continental weighed more than a mark 111, I could be interested.

Sorry, captain, this one is SOLD! It changed hands shortly after the national championships. Just that I've not thought to move this ad until now!
