Here we have Eleanor a 33ft J Lidguard. Timber Sloop (long keel, masthead sloop rig).
She is incredibly sea worthy and sailed from New Zealand to the UK in the 90s. She has been well maintained with new rigging in 2022, clean sails and a serviced 3GM30F Yanmar engine in good condition. She now sits on a mooring in Newton Ferrers (Plymouth)
Built in New Zealand, Lidguards are renowned and she sails beautifully.
The hull is constructed of an epoxy sheathed double diagonal planking, cold moulded. She is constructed of Kauri which is considered to be one of the best boat building woods for its slow growing, hard wearing, mould resistance, she is exceptionally special as Kauri is now protected.
A survey was completed by Optimum Marine Surveys in 2020 and ‘Eleanor was found to be sound, well constructed example of her type which is being well kept.’
As seen in pictures she has a spacious inside galley and living area and a generous cop pit.
