NYB2 NestingLite NN10 Evaluation Boat

We imported this boat from the Canadian builders NestingLite in January 2010, 
with the idea being to show her over here, take orders and start production in 
the UK. That didn't happen in the end - not least because we developed our 
own 9ft nesting stem dinghy (click here: 9ft Clinker Stem Dinghy) - so our 
little-used evaluation boat is now for sale at £2000 including sailing rig/VAT.

She also has the optional foredeck with hatch (RRP $495), currently loose
but could easily be sealed in to provide more buoyancy and storage. 

More information on and pictures of this boat can be seen here: NN10

Our asking price of £2000 is approx half what it would cost to import 
one of these directly yourself, including VAT, customs, import duties, 
packing and freight - something of a bargain! (Current retail price with
options US$4495 plus shipping and VAT, approx $6400.)
Reasonable offers considered.

 

NYB4 Cold-moulded mahogany Pram Dinghy, hull only.

This is the hull we took the moulds from for our production pram dinghies. Constructed from double-diagonal mahogany as NYB3 below, but with no 
internal fitout (thwarts, buoyancy tanks etc) and measuring 8ft 2" by 4ft 3".

We could help out with any of the fittings you might need to finish her off, 
from joining bolts and alignment hooks to a sailing rig.

The outside is for the most part exceptionally well-finished - as you would 
expect from a hull that was used to make moulds - although there are a 
few chips that would need repairing (nothing difficult) where the mould stuck.

The materials cost for this boat was over £1200, plus over 200 hours of 
labour... at our asking price of £1100 she is quite simply a bargain for someone 
with the appropriate skills to finish her.

NYB6 Building moulds for 8ft or 8ft 8" Pram Dinghy

Not actually a boat, yet! These are the station moulds, set up on a building jig with fore-and-aft tulip wood ribbands, to build the cold-moulded version of our Pram Dinghy. They are currently set up for the 8ft 8" length, but could be taken apart and re-set at 8ft if you know what you're doing. Equally it could put you a long way towards a clinker version of the same hull. Included is enough 3mm mahogany veneer to do about half the first skin (so you would need to buy more), worth about £100 on its own. If "station mould" and "ribbands" don't mean anything to you then this probably isn't what you want, some boatbuilding knowledge required for this to be useful. £350  

 

 

NYB10 Torqeedo 503 electric motor  SOLD This Torqeedo 503 standard shaft was bought in March this year for use with boat ref NYB9 listed below (boat now sold). As such it has only been used three times and is in very good condition (we even have the box, if you want it). The recommended retail price for this model is £1149.  The owner is asking £750, a saving of over one third on the new price. Balance of two year warranty will transfer to new owner.   SOLD

NYB11 Suzuki DF2.5 4-stroke motor NOW SOLD. At 13kg this is one of the lightest petrol outboards on the market, now that two-strokes have been banned from sale in the EU. It is also water-cooled (some air-cooled motors are rather noisy) and has a conventional forward-neutral gearbox (not a centrifugal clutch which can be difficult to operate).  Our customer bought it new in October 2010 but used it very little - it's not even fully run in! - having decided to "go electric", for the 2011 season. Very good condition, balance of 5 year warranty will transfer to new owner.  RRP £595, asking £375 (37% off). SOLD

SOLD NYB7 Pram Dinghy with painted finish

Glassfibre hull with teak woodwork, daggerboard case, mast support mouldings, and chrome rowlocks. It has a painted exterior and interior (rather than gelcoat), in white using Jotun two-pack epoxy primer and several coats of gloss. This was built to test out our spraying facilities, and the finish is excellent, arguably better than gelcoat. Paint is of course not as thick as, but harder than gelcoat, and for most people easier to touch in if you do scratch through it. Priced approx as standard boat to this spec, ie £2,100, with - if you're in a rush - no waiting list (a painted finish would normally be more expensive because of the extra labour). Options including sailing rig could be added at standard prices. SOLD

SOLD NYB9 Carbon/Kevlar Pram with sailing rig

This high-spec carbon/Kevlar Pram dinghy with sailing rig was delivered to 
the customer earlier this year. Sadly, a change in circumstances means 
they cannot use it any more, so it is a rare opportunity to acquire one of 
these Prams ready-built (no waiting list) and at a significant saving on the 
price new.

Specification includes: upgrade to carbon/Kevlar hull; upgrade to teak 
woodwork; two longitudinal seats in stern section; lug rig with tan sail, 
window and boom; keel wear strip in brass; bilge keels/handles on stern 
section; chromed rowlocks and 6ft 6" oars; transom wheels; and Easybase 
towbar-mounted carrying platform.

The list price for a new dinghy to this spec is over £5300 with a waiting list 
of about two months; the customer is asking £4600 (saving over 15%). The 
hull has only got wet three times and the sailing rig has never actually been 
used afloat. SOLD

SOLD NYB8 14ft Trio 

 

NYB8 14ft Trio (built 2010) SOLD. Complete Package, priced to sell at £2,995  We delivered this teak-trimmed, glassfibre hull Trio last year, for use as a dayboat in Chichester harbour. The owners enjoyed her very much but have now decided to go for a bigger boat with a cabin for trips further afield.  She is offered complete with: outboard motor, 7ft oars/ outrigger brackets (two pairs), anchor and folding launch trolley.  She is generally in very good condition - the hull has just been re-polished in our workshops - with a few cosmetic scratches to the hull as you would expect of any boat after one season's use (mostly on bottom where you don't see them). The engine is a Tohatsu 3.5 four-stroke, a great choice for the Trio, being relatively light weight (19kg) with an integral fuel tank. This was bought late 2009 for use with this boat, last serviced 2010. We'd recommend you get it serviced by an approved agent, soon after purchase, to maintain the balance of 5 year warranty.

Above: Returning home in the sunset. Below: Package includes 3.5hp Tohatsu

SOLD NYB5 9ft Stem Dinghy sailing rig development boat

This is not far off our standard 9ft stem dinghy, but with the sailing rig less "built-in" than current production models. Basically the hull and buoyancy tanks are standard with the mast support and daggerboard case made from plywood with teak trim, rather than mouldings (arguably nicer, but non-standard). Lightly used and shown at one boat show. Options fitted include brass keel strip, bilge keel handles, chrome rowlocks and folding cleats - retail price new with the rig would be approx £3700, we're asking £2,700. A lovely boat at this price and any additional options required could still be fitted (as per price list).  SOLD

 

SOLD! (NYB1) Trio, first production glass fibre boat (refurbished Oct 2010)

This was the first Trio out of the moulds, built June 2009, with an identical 
hull shape to the current model, but a few differences to the internal fit out, 
most noticeable being:
- Seats are solid planks, rather than the current strips of wood/black caulking
- More visible reinforcement to the centre section floor than production version. 

The woodwork is Iroko and has been well looked after. The buoyancy tanks 
are as standard version, apart from the way the removable stern seat mounts 
(it is slightly less "integrated"). The hull is standard glassfibre layup and has 
been used, with some cosmetic scratching but nothing serious and virtually 
invisible being a white hull. 

This boat has just undergone extensive refurbishment and, whilst it doesn't 
look brand new, represents a one-off opportunity to buy a fairly standard Trio 
in good condition at a very significant saving, with no waiting time, at £1,450 (£1,000 off the current new retail price). Most options that can be specified 
from new on other Trios could be retrofitted to this boat, at standard prices.

It would also go very nicely with a Torqeedo 1003 electric motor, which we 
could do as a package with this boat at £2,500 all-in - or a 401 Base Travel 
with battery at £2000 all-in. NOW SOLD.

SOLD! NYB3 Cold-moulded mahogany 8ft 8" Pram Dinghy. This was the original prototype for our current production glassfibre Pram Dinghy. She was built in 2008, using two layers of diagonally opposed mahogany veneer (each 3mm thick) with a glass/epoxy layer on the outside for abrasion resistance. We built her with little consideration of cost and several features - such as the mahogany/cedar decks and beautiful hog plank - that would never be viable commercially. SOLD
