I need to sell Kudu. Maybe it’s that time of year again? I really do this time though. I simply cannot keep her any more – and after all the work I’ve put in, this is most upsetting, but c’est la vie. I’ll get over it.
Here’s the latest spec – you will not, I’m absolutely certain, find a spec like this on another Corribee. Everything here is new, nothing was purchased second hand, unless it came with the boat – which is the hull, sails, and roller reefing.
Genoa and main in great condition
Plastimo 406 Roller furling
All lines lead aft to cockpit (spinlock jamming cleats)
Suzuki 5hp four stroke (2008)
2 recent Harken deck winches for halyards, reefing lines etc
2 new Harken sheet winches, plus custom stainless steel mounts, and self tailing adaptors.
All woodwork (teak) has been recently treated with Deks Olje
200ah AGM battery + custom battery tray.
40w Solar cells
Recent complete re-wire, plus quality splash proof switch panel (BEP marine, not these cheap nasty things).
Shore power system – quality Marinco stainless inlet.
Electric bilge pump + manual bilge pump (both brand new and fitted)
New Lewmar forehatch
New custom designed rudder (vast improvement over the original)
New outboard bracket.
New Barton main sheet track & car
Hot/cold running water system, including calorifier, water pump, and stainless sink/mixer taps from penguin engineering.
Hull fully insulated with 12mm plastazote
Interior has been totally rebuilt using marine ply and hardwood.
Origo 3000 double burner meths stove (I love these things; best stoves going.)
Custom cabin table, which doubles up as an emergency washboard.
Custom stereo system – I built it, it’s impressive.
Mast compression post replaced with custom stainless version.
She needs some finishing off, but only minor bits of touching up and tidying. I’ve been sailing on her as is.
Looking for £3,500 for a no fuss quick sale.
Why’d ya unfriend me? Boo hoo.
ah, but I didn’t. I deleted my entire FB account. Nobody was singled out, it was just social genocide. Facebook is no more.
Phew.
I am sad that you have to sell Kudu. I have listed her via my FB account. Where will you live? Are you sure you will be happy on land? It’s awful going from living on a boat to living in a room.
I wonder if I can help you in any way.
I was sitting here daydreaming about buying her and using her to cross the Atlantic. Inspire me. I love my big boat but sometimes I just want to let rip with something I can handle alone. My only worry would be the rudder, it looks so vulnerable. Please email me whenever you wish, inspire me even, to buy her.
Hi Nathan,
I’ve enjoyed reading about your adventures on Kudu and you’ve helped inspire me to one day learn to sail and own a small boat which is difficult at the moment being a landlocked father of two with a mortgage to pay! Its a shame you have to sell her and I’m tempted to buy and to hell with it
Good luck with whatever adventures you may have next.
Hi,
You might advertise her on Unified Corribee’s website.
That would have been a dream boat for me, but I just bought a 17ft Silhouette that I keep on Hesketh Bank.
Going to be in the water in a couple of weeks, let me know if you fancy a sail one day.
Good luck with your sell and your company.
I am gutted, I really enjoyed watching your adventures. Was hoping you’d find inspiration and set off on some other wacky adventure! Any plans to get another boat in the future?
Alas, inspiration is not lacking, I’d go tomorrow, but for a multitude of reasons it would be unwise, and probably short lived.
Florent, glad you got the boat
Is she in the water?
Bugger!
You pillock !
What’s next then? Surely you’re not going to be boatless???
I just decided that it would be stupid to put the boat on the water before winter. There are only two week ends where the tides are right to leave and come back in a same day. If I’m lucky enough I won’t have time or the weather will be shitty on these specific days. I’ll will wait until February/March to put it on the water, it looks much wiser.
Hi Nathan,
Hapy new year.
Is Kudu still on sale? Finally I might be interested by her.
