Black Magic #1541 is for sale

 For Sale

Drascombe Lugger Mk2 1988 #1541

Black Magic a hardy lugger that has sailed Loch Ryan most of its life (Stranrear)

Brought to Llyn Tegid in 2023 to join a growing Drascombe Lugger fleet (6)

Plenty of experienced sailors to draw knowledge and advice from with these proven boats.

It has all 3 sails in good condition with original wooden mast and mizzen.

Some mods have been done with lights in the cockpit but not hooked up to work atm.

Black Magic was the original name but the last owner changed it to Dogstar.

The original name could be seen still so I reverted back to that as I also have a black cat called magic .

She sails very well and has competed in the Bala long distance race in 2023

Any novice will feel at home with her straight away and do some cruising down the lake and join other luggers like LuLu of Sailing with Dave fame on youtube.

The boat comes with fenders and an anchor and also a brand new cockpit cover also has a nice compass on the daggerboard case . Also a full cover, needs new straps.

She sits on a really nice honour marine official trailer which tows really nicely behind a 2.0l  med estate car .

Also included is a 6hp Tohatsu engine with the electrical output, this was working when I bought the boat but unused as electric only at Llyn Tegid

The boat does need a tidy up after the winter which I will be doing before she goes back on the mooring, speak to Rob Hyde if you want a mooring as its not transferable .

 

I am asking £5000 or nearest offer
