14ft Trio Multi-Purpose-Boat Prices - January 2010
(including UK VAT at 17.5%)

The Standard Trio has a white glass fibre hull and buoyancy tanks, grey interior finish, low-maintenance oiled Iroko trim, and one pair of "Canadian-style" varnished pine paddles, priced at £2,295. 

The Sailing Rig including mast, sprit, sail by Kemp (tan or cream), rudder, laminated tiller, twin leeboards, localised strengthening of the hull, etc is £1,350.

Lightweight Hull option. High-tech construction in carbon fibre and Kevlar (for stiffness and impact/abrasion resistance), laid up in epoxy over a high density foam core, saving about 20kg overall. Crucially the biggest saving is on the (heaviest and most awkward) middle section. The hull itself becomes slightly buoyant - effectively unsinkable even if you hole the buoyancy tanks.
£1,220 (extra)

OPTIONS FOR THE TRIO (including all fittings/labour etc as applicable):
- Coloured Hull. Can look very pretty, especially in dark colours, but will show scratches more easily (glassfibre scratches are white). Navy, Green or Burgundy look fantastic. £65
- Teak woodwork. Upgrade from standard Iroko. Iroko needs oiling (not a difficult job) from time-to-time to reduce the chance of cracks/splits; Teak can be oiled but does not need it (weathering to a silver grey colour) and is ultimately harder and more durable. £300
- Teak decking on buoyancy tanks. Quite fiddly to make and does add some weight, but the result looks fantastic. £310
- Rubber Fendering around gunwhales (not available with sailing rig or rowing outriggers) £220;
- Keel Wear Strip, brass, including additional filling of keel recess etc £140;
 - Bilge Runner protection strips either side of keel on mid-section, in teak, £110; brass protection strips on the bottom of the two runners are an extra £50
- Deluxe Paddles. There is nothing wrong with the standard paddles but these look and handle even better, being 20% lighter, with slightly wider blades made from Aspen with contrasting dark Alderwood inserts. Upgrade cost (first pair) £26; Additional deluxe paddles (spare etc) £37 each. (Additional standard paddles £24 each)
- Chromed rowlocks and sockets, with pair of 6ft varnished pine oars. First set, in lieu of standard paddles £48; Second set, for additional rowing position, £96
- Captive Folding Rowlocks (see here: Folding Rowlocks) instead of rowlocks/sockets listed above, additional cost per pair £58. These can be fitted in the stern position only, we also have the same heavy duty but non-captive rowlocks at £46 per pair for the central position. 
- Rowing Outriggers in polished stainless steel. These can be fitted for either or both rowing positions, supplied with quick release wing nuts and bolts, instead of, or in addition to, rowlocks. They make a big difference if you envisage rowing for pleasure. £110 per pair including localised reinforcement of gunwhale. With outriggers you can use 7ft oars, £62 per pair. Longer oars possible if you are tall, a strong/experienced rower and/or row "cross-handed", up to about 8ft.
- Folding Cleats (pictures here: Folding Cleats), flush with gunwhales in folded position, £35 each including fitting, or £100 for three (one bow, two at stern). They reduce the risk of catching ropes etc by accident, and look superb!

Please remember that options add weight... a high-spec Trio with a lightweight hull could potentially weigh more than a standard-spec glassfibre hull. (It will still weigh 20kg less than a glassfibre hull of the same spec of course.)

If you are very keen on rowing we can obtain handcrafted spoon blade oars, £poa (not cheap but lovely to use).

Please contact us by phone (07768 600595) or email (mail@nestawayboats.com) if you wish to discuss the specification of your boat and/or the options required are not listed above.

Delivery is dependent on distance from our workshop (near Christchurch, Dorset), either by courier or of preference in our own van. If we're doing it we charge a £25 flat fee plus 40p per mile (each way) with the main advantages being that we can offer a reasonable indication of timing and you get a "handover" from someone who knows the boats. Courier deliveries start at about £150 (including packing etc), up to £2500 for more remote UK destinations or or £300 if a sailing rig is ordered. We do offer overseas delivery but this will be quoted on an individual basis.

You can also pick up your new boat yourself, by arrangement.

If you are planning to carry a Trio in a car please note that certain options make it slightly wider, eg the sailing rig and the rubber fendering. Check carefully!

Plans for home construction in cedar strip are available at £57 plus postage. We can supply any or all of the components you need, from the connecting bolts to the mast or sail - please contact us with your requirements.
