AI-generated summary

The Hardy 18 Motor Sailer, located on Scotland's West Coast in Tighnabruaich, is an 18-foot versatile and capable boat that seamlessly blends the features of a motorboat and a sailboat. Power comes from a Yamaha 15hp 4-stroke electric start outboard engine, and it offers both wheel and tiller steering. The vessel is equipped with a new Jeckells mainsail, a jib with hanks, and a selection of four cockpit covers. Its fin keel design provides stability, while navigation systems include a Standard Horizon VHF radio with a remote command mic, a tiller auto-pilot, a Navman depth sounder, and a steering compass. This boat accommodates two berths and a sea toilet with bronze seacocks, complemented by onboard amenities like an Origo twin burner stove, a sink with pumped freshwater, electric and manual bilge pumps, and twin battery installation. It also comes with fishing rod holders, an anchor, and essential mooring gear. The sale includes a twin-axle trailer, suitable for yard use. Highlights such as the new mainsail, quality equipment, and scope for further improvements make "Little Red" a charming option for those looking to sail in Tighnabruaich Boatyard and the Kyles of Bute.

TRAILER - Twin axle - I have towed the boat once when I bought it 5 years ago for about 15 miles. In my ownership the trailer has never been in the water. I am describing the trailer as a yard trailer only, not a road trailer. I am not able to offer a delivery option.

PLEASE NOTE - The auxiliary outboard engine shown in one of the photos was borrowed and not owned by me and so is not included in the sale - however, if required I can source one for an advantageous price.

I have really loved this little boat - it is so simple, and yet amazingly capable and versatile - if ever there was a prime example of "less is more" this is it.

She is in presentable and usable condition without having to worry and be too precious about her....but there is plenty of scope to continue improving her as you go.

I had no intention of selling Little Red...but a friend made me an offer I could not refuse for a larger boat and I went for it....but I may regret it one day!

Ideally Little Red will stay in the Kyles Of Bute where she is currently ashore in Tighnabruaich Boatyard.

PLEASE PHONE STEVE on 07919 406636.
