For Sale - an exceptionally beautiful, new, ply-epoxy racing Heron No 10309. 'Swan Song'. (see article in Heron Newsletter June/Juy 08)

This immaculate modern Heron, recently completed and fitted out to the highest standard, is being sold to help pay for a new Safety Boat at Yeadon Sailing Club as a tribute to expert boatbuilder and long time member of the Club, Donald Acklam, who died last year.

Built and finished to the highest standard, it features a double-hull for additional built in buoyancy (as in the Butler FRP Herons), side tanks/ seats and a half-height bow tank. Fully epoxied inside and out. Bermudan rig with Needlespar mast, proctor boom and Jeckells racing sails (main and jib)

All new fittings and rigging with laminated centreboard , lifting rudder with ash wishbone tiller and extension.  Mainsheet strop with Harken ball blocks, 16:1 cascade kicker fed back to thwart, 4:1 outhaul and 2:1 Cunningham. Two Andersen bailers fitted and hull prepared for installation of spinnaker system, if required.  Fly-away carbon jib stick for effortless poling-out of jib or genoa off-wind.

Dinghy comes complete with a brand new mast-up cover, road trailer and galvanised, folding launching trolley with pneumatic wheels for easy launching and recovery on all surfaces.

This new boat is being sold at a price to simply recoup the cost of materials and to raise money for the Club - so save over £2000 on the cost of a new Heron from other sources.

Price £2,300 (includes road trailer and launching trolley)
