Naughty-Cal has been a much loved boat and has benefited from a programme of ongoing maintenance and upgrades during our ownership. She is only for sale as we have sadly found that we currently do not have the time to use her as often as we would like and it is a shame to leave her sat idle on the mooring when someone could be using and enjoying her as much as we have.

Will be going on brokerage with Burton Waters, Lincoln at the end of September for circa £32k. 
Currently open to offers of circa £27k.

Additional photographs available on request. 

Naughty-Cal is currently lying on her berth at Burton Waters, Lincoln being prepared for sale.

What a lovely boat to cruise between the East Coast Rivers and inlets. I love the Ore/Alde, Deben and Orwell/Stour and if my circumstances were different, I would be tempted.

I am sure that you will be sad to see her go.

[Smoggy]

And one of the good bits about having a boat of 30' or less is you can usually get a private pontoon mooring at southwold, privacy and cheaper.

Good luck with your sale.

UNDER OFFER. 

[ChrisB]

I hope that you are successful with your disposal. 

I could have driven a very good deal on the S25 at the 2006 London boat show. I was taken with the offset superstructure! Much prefering one really good side deck to two mediocre ones. 

But Judith, my late wife was not going back to sea even under power.

Very capable boats those small Sealine, someone will be very pleased with her.

It has taken us longer than anticipated to get it ready to put on brokerage. It was due to go on brokerage next week.

First person to view it has left us with a deposit and a very good offer.

No the buyer has had to shut his business due to coronavirus and quite rightly has decided that he can't warrant the outlay at this time.

BOAT OFF THE MARKET.

We have decided with the current climate we are unlikely to get a sale so we will do a few more jobs on her with a view to keeping her for a few more years.

[ChrisB]

I think you are being very sensible.

[Cal]

If nothing else we can bring her to the Broads again next year 

[John898]

Just found this old thread and wondered if you might consider selling again

The virus has forced early retirement and am looking to join the boating community and am looking at an S23 as an ideal first boat

[Cal]

Sorry she is not for sale now. We have decided to keep her for a little while longer.

We have had our fill of boating now 

 

Trying to buy a motorhome at the minute but that isn't proving to be an easy task 

[Turnoar]

Motorhomes do seem to be in short supply like caravans. Have you thought about a conversion project? Old securicor van perhaps, not much call for cash at the moment so may be going for a song. Maybe some spare buses around soon too... seriously though there’s plenty of companies converting vans these days.

[Turnoar]

Speedcamera van on eBay, Fiat Ducato, straight from police, 79k miles, insulated, heater. Food for thought.

No. We want a proper coach built motorhome not a conversion!!

[Cal]

We know what we want, there just are very few coming up for sale at the moment.

 

We want one of these:

Our preference would be not to buy new but we do want one 2017 or newer as that is when they upped the standard spec a lot. It is just a case of waiting for one to pop up for sale, although we have said we will take a view later in the year on whether we will end up buying a new one if nothing suitable is coming up for sale.
