Pollywaffle is a well proven ocean cruiser, equipped with roller furling headsail, windvane self steering, radar (the 3 biggest boons to the
short-handed cruising sailor), self tailing winches etc. All GRP, built 1980, but has spent at least 14 years of her life laid up ashore.

Professionally epoxied 2000 after 7 year layup when hull was bone dry & with no sign of any previous osmosis. Extensive sail wardrobe, generally little used, some not at all. Stored ashore since 2004, she has just had a new Beta 20HP engine, new stainless steel fuel tank, & new cockpit drain seacocks fitted. She is in the middle of a fairly extensive refit, which unfortunately, for various reasons, I am unable to complete. All the work is within the remit of the competent DIYer. Much of what is required has already been purchased & is included in the sale.

Although it will not take that much to get her sailing again, she is looking in
a bit of a state because of the number of ongoing jobs that have now come to a halt, & hence I am offering her at a knockdown price for someone willing to take on a bit of a project.

We lived & cruised in Pollywaffle for 3 years. Apart from a few items that were sold a few years ago, most of what came out of her is up in my loft & is included in the sale, which should be pretty much all you need to
get sailing.

Also available is a brand new 4 man Avon Ocean canister liferaft, brand new
Mercury 3.3HP outboard, & also a 2nd hand Taylors diesel heater, all of which I bought recently (nothing wrong with the original paraffin heater, but was planning to swap for a diesel one so I could run it off the main fuel tank). These to be sold separately, but the person buying the boat will have first dibs.

Forerunner is a renowned all GRP Twister in immaculate condition. She represented the Class in the Yachting Monthly trials in 2005.

She had an excellent write up with photographs in their April 2005 edition (copies available on request). She was described as 'immaculate, meticulously maintained, fast, in tip-top condition' and 'a credit to the Twister class - a super little boat.' (James Jermain).

Last four years had little use due to illness. Hull epoxied as preventative measure. No osmosis found. Original white Gel Coat topsides. Wintered ashore for 4 months annually for last 24 years - the last 4 years 6 months ashore.

Indigo was moulded in 1979 by Tylers. She was completed by Hartley Marine on the Medway in 1980.

Currently with her fourth owner (since 2000) she has been carefully maintained and updated, and offers a superb, go-anywhere, easily-handled "proper" yacht for single-handed, two-up or family cruising.

In current ownership she has only been used lightly for local Solent cruising on summer weekends and has been laid up ashore every winter.

Professionally repainted at the end of the 2009 season in Awlgrip two-coat Sky Blue, with a navy caveta line. She has not been sailed since repainting and shines like a new pin.

Underwater, she was stripped back to gelcoat in 2007, and is now finished with three coats of Blakes Underwater Primer, two coats of Blakes hard racing antifouling (non-erodible) in blue, and two coats of Blakes Tiger Extra erodible in white. There is a navy boot top.

Indigo is one of very few Twisters with a teak deck. The original teak deck was removed in 2005, and new teak was professionally laid onto a mastic base on the GRP sub-deck, so that there are no screws securing it. The deck has been carefully maintained since, and is never scrubbed.

All GRP Twister in generally good condition and ready for the season.
