True to form, I want to start another project, and to help finance it I’ve decided to part with ‘Talitha’. She is a Sharpy Class, roof rack keelboat designed by Derek Munnion. Best quality materials, including marine plywood were used throughout her construction, and her lateen sail was professionally made by Wilkinson Sails of Burnham-on-Crouch. Her road trailer is included in the sale, along with her paddle, spray apron, seat, painters etc.













Length Overall 15 ft
Beam 2 ft 6 in
Draught Keel down 2 ft 9 in
Draught Keel up 5 ½ in
Hull Weight 85 lbs
Keel Weight 2 x parts 40 + 40 lbs
Sail Area 47 sq ft
Transport By road trailer or on a roof rack

I have placed an advert in Boats and Outboards with a sale price of £1,700, inclusive of her road trailer and all gear - but not the GPS. Here's the link:

Please note that I am unable to edit this Boats and Outboards advert without incurring an extra charge; therefore assume an asking price of £1,500 in line with the Ebay listing.
