Hi,

Would anyone here have any idea what make this boat is, It has a Bukh 36HP Diesel and is glassfibre, I have found the brocure for the Diesel engine dated 1985, but there was other material onboard which was dated 1982.
I have no idea but my cousin thinks it a Van de stadt but others think its a Farr.
Its 12.5 Metres.
The carpentry inside is very nice a lot of detail.

Thanks in advance.
John

Just wondering where is the boat and any good shots of the stern and starboard side did you see a cast hin on it or documentation number

 

[eibocs]

Thanks Newhaul,
Where would the HIM be on the boat I only have the HIN and RMS dont know the make either. They said that the owner was South African or German from recolection.

I suspect the HIM was a typo.. the HIN can be decoded on line, Manufacturers Identification Code (MIC) Database

The boat has the look of those narrow, sleek Scandinavian types... but I don't recognize it otherwise.

 

[newhaul]

Yes it was a typo my tablet writes what it wants most of the time thanks faster

The beginning of the HIN is AUWWA
The lady at RMS said it was registered in Australia in 96 and that's all I have to go on at the moment. I am getting her slipped next week so I will try and get some better photos.
cheers.

Here's a good start for you. Manufacturers Identification Code (MIC) Database its an abbate nautica

Here's a possible match an Abbott 36 ABBOTT 36 sailboat specifications and details on sailboatdata.com

Don't think so, newhaul.. transom's not right, and I think the boat in question is 40 or so..The Abbot's fit the 'sleek and skinny' part, but I don't think they were ever offered with teak decks either.

The beam measurement is 4.05m and LOA is 12.5m

 

[Faster]

So - 41 feet long

Does the hard dodger appear to be original/factory? or an add-on? that might narrow it down a bit.

No builder's plate anywhere? Have you bought this already??

 

[eibocs]

Hi Faster,
Yes the Dodger is an add-on, I haven't found the makers plate, would you have any ideas where it might be,
I bought it last month.
Cheers

Hi John
Nice shot of the boat. I still think it's got that Vandesstatt DNA. Either you got a really nice pick up. Cheers Tom

 

[eibocs]

The shaft on the rudder is set forward by approx 3 degrees.

Hi John
That looks a bit better after a clean up.
I'm still going with a Vanderstat.
Cheers Tom

Part of me agrees with Van de Stadt but no smoking gun. There is a similarity to the VDS39 which was built by Dehler as the Dehler 39CWS but that's not 12.5m (41') and/or the VDS Caribbean at 40'. Beam also doesn't work for either of them. Difficulty is that she does not look production. Interior has the look of an Asian build or owner built. Dehler did not use teak (looks teak to me) in their interiors and there are too many twirly bits in the wood working. Coach roof looks very VDS but the boom looks too short for either the 39 or 40. VDS cruising boats of that era and earlier also tended to have deck stepped masts though whether that is true of the glass boats I am not sure.

Difficulty then is that I don't know of any Asian built VDS production boats and most owner built VDS were steel, timber or aluminium.

You said she was registered in Australia in 1996. Any idea under what name ? I don't suppose you know if she was built here ?
