BM 285 Odalisque for sale

[Simon Newton]

I've owned Odalisque for about five years now and managed to sail her only twice. Although I always hoped that I would find the time, we have recently moved and I don't have the room to keep her in the dry any more. Hull and deck in very good condition - carefully restored by me - although the last coat of varnish went on just before it started raining, so I'll need to sand it off and do that again. All foils and spars in great condition too, with a decent R&J sails main. Launching trolley and road trailer. All of the running rigging has been replaced too. Ready to sail, and a beautiful, vintage boat. 

She's in Worcestershire, near Evesham.

Contact me if you're interested and I'll send some photos. 07795 310180 or [e-mail].

I would be happy for the boat to go to a good home and be sailed regularly, so any reasonable offer accepted.

Memories of this one and was a featured project in 'Classics Corner' when I used to do the newsletter back in the 90s!
Glad to see she's still looking good 20 years later. Was Karelia from the 70s onwards and painted black, and went surprisingly (seriously) well in light breezes even with the ragbag rig she had back then! Could still be a race winner in the right hands.
Some interesting history with this one!
