This ones a bit of bit of racing history: yachthub.com/list/yachts-for-sale/used/sail-monohulls/custom/238942
Fortunately the Davidson 34 in Jervis bay has now sold. That was an absolute gift!
I have been on her quite a few times. Lovely well fitted interior. Topsides need a repaint. If I had read the latest ad on yachthubI would have seen the mooring is at Square Head. That mooring is only 6 months old!
The Swanson 32 has sold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Several other good buys have sold in the last few days as well. Long time since I have seen such movement!
Don't know that specific boat but the Hick 35s are a very good all rounder. See here links to another which refers to the 1998 Hobart winner AFR Midnight Rambler as does the advert.

Note that I have never seen a Robert Hick designed yacht with a stern like that - robbing rear cockpit space. It is akin to the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 ton IOR designs of the late 70s and early 80s - that type of stern shape was long gone by the late 90s. See the yachts at the above link with normal flat transom slightly off the vertical plane. Perhaps the owner can shed light on this. Is it a shorter yacht design with added on extended stern? What sort of diesel is in it? Certainly appears to be exceptional value.
The Hick looks OK from outside; basic in its stark white and minimalist fitout. I'd assume the stern was an add-on.
Morning Bird has attracted a bit of interest. I've had four calls in the past week and one inspection. It wasn't for them, I think they will be buying something a bit bigger to sail slowly back to the UK.
One caller had to change her mind when her partner said 'no boat'.
The other two are keen on an S&S 34 and we will arrange inspections and a short sail when I get back from Victoria at the end of next week.
I have it advertised now at $47,500 neg. It seems to be a reasonable price point to start bargaining.
Police Car is no longer for sale, at the moment at least. The owner has had some setbacks with theft. All of his power tools stolen and all the items of value. Webpage here.

RL24s are great boats if anyone is up for a project (Yhat?)... https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/perth-airport/sail-boats/yhat-rl24-fibreglass-24ft/1232215944

Though I'd prefer a trailer and drop keel, and negotiate on price to get some new sails - 16' skiff sails fit well and are good value... www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/east-brisbane/sail-boats/rl-24-trailer-sailer/1232077156

32-foot German-built round bilge steel yacht in need of serious steel welding in the deck. Topsides look untidy but most of the work would be replacing the deck at the bow and the stern. Very nice shaped hull with a fin keel. Full teak interior, solid teak no veneers here! Kubota 30hp not running, not a serious problem. Expensive feathering prop. Furlex furler with several excellent as new headsails off the navy Swarbick S111's. Wheel steering. Quality bits everywhere. For sale with a mooring in an excellent spot in Greenwell Point just to the West of my mooring. Asking $2200 for the lot! You won't get the Aries windvane though that's on my boat! Might end up a project for someone looking for a good mooring and strip the yacht.
This is a well-known boat that has been for sale for ages. I think it's either double diagonal or triple skinned timber and epoxy sheaved. Sadly the low price is probably putting people off.
Inboard stays, fully battened main, nice wide side decks, there isn't a shot of the front of the cockpit but it looks like all lines led back. There's a lot to like about that boat and being cold molded with epoxy should be feather light. Sweet.
I couldn't see a head in any of the photos, if they are suggesting Talesin style bucket then I can see the issue... Not that it is impossible to fix but I wouldn't imagine a nature's head would fit.

I like the fact has an anchor well and feathering propeller! The old ads had fewer photos but more info. Gets a mention in the Offshore magazine from 1974.

This surely is a bargain.
Looks like it could have a history.
Does anyone know more about this beautifully built S&S37?

Doing a security check on this boat yesterday. We had a recent break-in on a nearby yacht and the owner asked me to check. Looking around the teak interior in the saloon and wishing more boats could be fitted out like this. Pity it's a steel boat!
It's just changed hands for $1200 for the whole package! The Yaesu Hf radio is worth more than that.
