1979 Eastward Ho 31 foot sloop full keel, large rudder with rack and pinion steering Yanmar diesel, Mack Pack setup on mainsail and a little used genoa on Harken furling gear. The bowsprit was added to remove any trace of weather helm. With a clean bottom this boat gets up and goes. Known issues. Pictures show the story. this boat and I have a three year history then I sold her to someone who lived onboard, then they sold her to someone who lived on board and sailed her very lightly. Both owners used her but deferred maintenance. Now she has come back to me and they want me to sell her so here we are. If I had the money she would be put back together by me but I have a project...
The list..... due for a haul and bottom painting, the stainless rubrail dropped off the starboard side and the factory rub rail fiberglass will need attention since the stainless is gone, the interior is sound but as shown needs a couple cushions and new covers for the v berth, the table needs to be screwed down, the galley needs a stove installed, and lots of other items need attention. A lot of rope needs replacing. There is a roll away AC unit in the cabin that will keep you cool when you work. It vents through a beckson plastic window that you will need to replace when done.
I bought the boat initially in 1999 and sailed her a couple years. She had blisters, a bad engine and while she sailed well, some bad weather helm. I called the designer (Allen Mcginness 80+ years old but knew the boat well) and he said to add a small bowsprit and that would take care of the designed in weather helm. I did this and also lavished her with lots of money going over the interior, having the bottom pealed and reglassed by a reputable marina, adding 5 coats of barrier coat, Installing a low hour Yanmar diesel, a vetus bullflex flexible shaft coupling, a removable stay sail stay, and various other items adding up to over 8500 dollars. She sailed great and motored nicely too. The motor runs like a champ and the sails are good too... This is a good boat that has had a lot of deferred maintenance. She will need work but the person who invests a lot of time and energy will end up with a gorgeous classic sailing machine that will take you anywhere you want to go.
