Seized Boats For Sale In Ireland / Powles Bourne 40

[NeilB]

Stumbled across these boats for sale by auction.  https://www.waterwaysireland.org/Documents/Vessel Catalogue July 2021.pdf

They are all in very poor condition but there’s a couple of Elysian 27”s and a Powles which looks like a Bourne 40 with a modified superstructure?

Think they would have to pay me to take one Neil

Is it just me or does the "Powles"  forward superstructure/roof line  have a touch of the "Star Supremes" about it? 

*Edit* Just looked at the Database and I think it could be a(modified) Star Victor!(later called Monaco)

Nice that most of them have got names, something for everyone with such an assortment. Some not worth the transport cost alone I expect and some a good basis for a refit. Wonder how they’ve all ended up in this boat graveyard, non payment of tolls, smuggling, BSC failures....

I would certainly have a sniff around that Freeman 23. The interior may well still be in good order.

might be some good bargains for someone wanting a project boat
